    Hey guys, just picked up a '93 VFR 750 w/ 16,000 miles! Not perfect cosmetically, but pretty nice none the less... I'll post some pics Monday. I look forward to seeing ya around. I am missing a lower fairings and I think the underbelly part that supposedly is made of metal. If anyone has a lead on those parts, that would be great! Have a great weekend!

    Will do! I'm at work today, but off tomorrow. I've got to get the bike registered before too much riding happens. I think it used to be all white, but now kinda two toned. Sweet used plastics on ebay right now for '93... thinking about restoring back to factory color. Picked up a new overstock Vance & Hines slip on for $100. Had to jump on it. Other than that it will be stock. Good idea to take it by the honda dealership for tune up, or easy enough for a driveway mechanic?

    I'm on it! Hopefully I can snag the two lowers and the center cowl. Is the center cowl priced right over $125?

    I believe the Ebay auction in question is local pickup only so make sure to verify before bidding on all those parts.

    I'm also pretty sure that I have both metal lower pieces in pearl white so let me know if you need me to check in my parts graveyard.

    There was a shipping price but I let the center cowl slip away. I would greatly appreciate if you could check for the metal pieces for me. I really need them to complete everything. I guess after that, the two lower fairings and I'll be set... oh and the center cowl. Thanks again!

    That's less than a thousand miles a year. Sounds like it was babied. There is nothing wrong with a few battle scares on a bike. It just proves it has been ridden and not a garage queen. My ST has seen a little road love. I think I still have bugs on my windshield from my ride to Canada last summer!

    Well, I was in the Nelson, B.C area. I don't know if that really counts as Canada. I only heard a few people say, "eh" and no one said, "hoser".

    I've got both metal belly pieces if you are interested. They need to be painted but still in very usable shape.
