91 VFR 750 Build Up

So were getting the bike back together (we as in me and my dad, mostly my dad, i work alot) and im gonna keep you guys updated with the progress and pics from it, ill try to get as much as i can, but the build is pretty close to done already but i do have some pics...

how she looked before i laid her down


and now the damage:frown::frown:

broke the right mirror off, and broke a piece of the windscreen off


the worst right hand cowl completely cracked in alot of places



rashed pretty good, broken mounting tab, and broke off the right peg


busted the turn signal


Had to replace both forks they were bent pretty good (scored a nice set on ebay for $75)

and now....
SHES NAKED :shocked:::drool:



new two brothers muffler



cut the catalytic converter (expansion chamber) and made custom piping




also would like to add that this thing is a whole nother machine now, the converter had to be restricting it, this thing feels so different now...

before the sanding, and fiberglassing



mounting tab gone...


now fiberglassed and sanded


tail fiberglassed into one piece


much stronger with the reinforcing


upper right cowl fiberglassed and filled, still needs sanding


upper left cowl, still needs sanding


fender fiberglassed


needs filler


v-piece in primer


exhaust heat shields in paint


tank ready to go in our professional paint booth


first couple coats




glued the piece onto the windscreen for now....


not bad mileage on a 91


thats where were at as of now, still need to track down some mirrors or a right mirror, would like to find some different mirrors considering cbr mirrors but they would need modifying, also need a windscreen....

 

Excellent work, I wish I had your bodywork skills! Keep us posted as we look forward to seeing her all finished up. Take a look at my thread below for info on aftermarket mirrors for the 3rd Gen. They are a bit shorter than OEM but I am very happy for the price.

Rollin

 

sorry i have been slacking on posting but MAJOR update


i still need a windscreen, acouple of the fairing quick turn fasteners i think i need 2 or 3, i also need the right side peg hanger (mine is bent), and i need the piece marked in the picture

if anybody has any of these parts please let me kno

 

If you need a windscreen still you can go on Ebay and look for a dude in Hong Kong selling them for our third gen bikies. I bought mine for around $10.00 amazing right, great fit regarding holes and chit. Nice job :smile:

 

Glad you found use for the tail parts we met up for. Looks fantastic. We gotta hook up and ride when I'm not building or painting.

 

whens that gonna happen haha

 

The nice thing about our fairings is that they offer some protection to the bike and are pretty easy to repair or replace. Good job.

 

Good point tweek. I have got a couple hundred miles in finally. Been tearing up the twisties. Only got a couple bikes in the shop now that arnt ours and got 3 bikess up and ready to ride. gonna get historical plates on the chopper in a couple weeks.

 

well u got my number txt me sometime..

 

looks pretty damn good . wish i was better at plastic work , wanna do my 91 parts ? looks good in the green, thanks for the post.

 

With the fiberglass repairs, did you use polyester resin, or epoxy resin? I know that sometimes is makes a difference, having done some boat glass repairs. I have some issues with my fairings, and would like to fix them this winter, so any help on what to use to glass them is of great help! Thanks!!!
