fiberglass WTF i was told all plastic

Good afternoon all so i did some night riding last night and found over half my dash lights were out (i have had this vfr under 4 weeks now) so after taking it all down to replace them today i found my left side lower bodywork is fiberglass ?? i thought they were all plastic the right lower is and lol the uper housing is fiber so the hundred dollar question is can i find the right side in fiber . Glass is sooooo much easer to fix and paint

to the fun part of the story headlight bolts missing nuts (was replaceing it to what the hell i had it all down) held on with fence wire LOL and other odds and ends out of place well what the hell all fixed now :tongue:

O btw replaced all dash lights with the new sylvania xenons by god i think the space station can read my gauges now same with headlight that new headlamp that they have out is WOW to put it mildly

 

Something I wish we could do one the six gen without having to take the 1000 piece dash apart. I wanted to go with a blue light behind the guages but I guess no luck for me.

On the other hand, who doesn't need some fence wire from time to time? WTF?>

 

It's probably a VFR Chuck Fibreglass fairing, I have one (nice work). You can replace dash light bulbs by just taking the windscreen off and using hemostats. I run the Sylvania Silverstars in all my Headlamps (cars and bikes) good vision for a plug & play lighting upgrade, I havn't done the dash lights yet, do you like the Sylvania Xenons or are they too bright?

 

Hey cap i do not think their to bright i can glance at them now insted of takeing a sec or so look but that may just be me getting older LOL

 

Do you remember the bulb number for the ones you got?

 

you bet the number is 158 but their are like 2 diffrent levels of bulbs the reg and the silverstar both are numberd 158 just fyi if you want them the silverstar ultra headlamp is 9003 / hb2 / h4 and the tail lamps are standard 1157

just a warning they stick it to you a bit on the 158s their around 10 bucks for a pack of 2

 

O and i had just pulled the lowers after i saw the stupidity done to the headlamp i took the tank / sides / rear all down and made a verry good once over of the bike as a rule of thumb if you find one foul up you can bet their will be more

I at this point think people should be made to take a iq test before being able to buy a set of tools or by min have to show they have a tec man for what their going to be working on (just joking) kind of LOL

 

+1 I'll pay extra if it's never been worked on...less for me to fix. That includes some of the dealerships so called mechanics.

 

The lowers could be from:
beasley (where I got mine)
Race Bike Bodywork - Honda

Airtech:
HONDA VFR750 1986-'88 INTERCEPTOR, VFR 750 fairings, bodywork, fairing, upper, lower, mid, seat side, race, street, fender, tail, undertail, tank

Spec II:
Spec II -- Lower Fairings

 

verry nice tyvm

 

Squids and their hack mechanics, I had the fun of undoing all their 'fixing' on my first VFR.
Spent a lot of time scratching my head muttering 'did they really save any money doing this totally wrong?!?!?'
