My VF750F 1st Gen 'Ceptor - Winter Mods

I made some mods to my 83 750F over the winter. I had the bike shipped in from CA last November. It's in really great shape, even before the mods... I modified the tail to give it a cleaner more modern look by removing that ugly fender and repositioning the lisc plate. I brought in the rear turn signals by removing the spacer and fabricating my own aluminum brackets and had the wheels and rotors powder coated and added new rear tire. What do you think??? Be honest.... See my pics – After 1, 2, 3

The bike looks great! I've been thinking about similiar projects for mine. How much did the powder-coat cost for the wheels?

 

Believe it or not, 50 bucks a rim, 20 bucks per rotor. Also had the exhaust collector powder coated with a high temp black.

Nice. Might I suggest reversing the angle of the license plate.

No chance of tire/plate interference.

Helps reduce rain on rear light/back.

Just a little idea.

had the same thoughts as Larry on that one. that tire could easily come in contact on a harsh bump.

 

Appreciate the input guys... I had considered the idea you mention for the reasons of the rain... something I had left out though in my original post...This bike will never see rain. I just have it to ride on an occasional nice sunny day. It's not a commuter or something I plan on riding long distance, like across state lines... At least not right now. So I'm pretty safe. I am now looking for some slip-ons to replace the stock pipes and lower profile mirrors...

 

Very nice Alex!
