    "heavily"?! dude, the only way i know of to come even CLOSE to the level of mods to your VFR is to retrofit one of these old bikes with a f***ing jet engine! props to the EVFR tho, its been a favorite of mine for a while, frodus!

    I really need to put aside the time to get those stickers off of mine. Especially since there's no relationship between the stickers and the bike. :lol:

    Single sided swingarm, I think Toecutter put on one of his 86's.

    No, it requires a lot of modification to the frame and arm, search for his thread on this in this board.

    eh. if they made one to actually FIT the 2nd gen, I might consider it, but honestly, every SSSA swap I've seen just involves more effort than it's worth IMO.

    They do look cool; but the result is a heavier bike. No thanks. :cool:

    Have to agree with you, My 86 is quite a tank. More weight, no thanks.

    Maybe I spend too much time on my bicycle, I doubt it though.

    The '86 is probably the lightest of the VFR's! You want a tank, get a 1000R!
