700F2 Winter Project

I bought a VFR 700F2 over the winter and have been working on it off and an the past several months. I took it down to the frame/motor and went through it in detail (carb rebuild, front/rear brake rebuild, changed all fluids, chain/sprocket, tank acid wash/coat) The bike was a little rough cosmetically and each fairing was a different color. I removed the rust, repainted the subframe black. I decided to repaint the fairings a pearl white and eventually opted for some updated graphics. Bike is complete now and runs like a champ. Here are a few pics of the project. Not sure if I like the 93 decals, I may be changing them back to the 86 700 F2 decals.

 

Hey Groove, welcome to the group. Looks like your efforts paid off. Quite an improvement, very nice looking bike!

 

Nice work:thumb:
Decals don't look bad, I'm going to try out one of the big wing kits on mine when & if I get it painted yet this spring. The wife keeps finding other places for the money to go:frown:

 

Nice job, that one bike that's worth the trouble fixing up.

 

Looks pretty awesome!!!
Is that a Supertrapp muffler you put on there?

 

AWESOME!!!!!!! Looks GREAT. I really like the white - makes me wants to get my Yellow 2k re-done in white. Nice!!!!!!!!

 

Thanks for the kind words...I have always been a fan of the older VFRs and think they are incredibly well designed/built. Overall, it ended up being a fun project. This was my first real experience with a "do it yourself" paint job and aside from overcoming a few learning mistakes, it turned out well and was pretty inexpensive.

The bike has a Supertrapp muffler on it and I have been pleased with the performance and sound. You can hear the bike at the link below...
