    Hello Everyone,
    I have acquired a VFR Fiberglass race body..includes Gas Tank, Tail Piece and Upper Front Fairing w/ Single Headlight. My question is has anyone ever seen one like this? The Gas Tank has Air Induction..the Tank and Tail Piece are really nice quality..definately not a home garage job..its not difficult to see the potential here for a nice race replica project..I am looking to sell the complete body (includes rh/lh lower fairings, inner panels, front fender) if anyone is interested..PM me and we can talk..

    VFRChuck sells very solid fiberglass versions of the Gen 2 stuff but I haven't seen the inducted tank or even a fiber tank for that matter.What about a petcock and why the induction since none had any integration that I know of.

    That tail looks like the race tail that VFRChuck makes. Haven't seen anywhere besides him that offers that tail, same thing for a fiberglass gas tank. Haven't seen one ducted like that before.

    I have the normal one-piece tail, solo seat cowl, inner panels and the front fender as well as the fiberglass gas tank from him. My upper is from Airtech the lowers are from Beasley.

    for my use, it worked great.... but it's not a normal gas tank, It's for an electric motorcycle, so only the top half was used. It's great workmanship though, and very very light.

    OHHH! I forgot you were doing the EVFR. I wonder about the effects of gasoline in it?

    Chuck coats the inside of the fiberglass, so it's completely sealed. No gasoline/fiberglass/resin contact.
