    I recently bought my 86 vfr 700 and was wondering if there are any good performance or body mods that are cheap to do...?

    I guess it depends on your definition of cheap. I've been modifying CBR600F3 rear shocks to fit the 86-87 VFR's with excellent results. The cost is anywhere from $275-400 depending if you want to upgrade the valving or not. Going all out and installing a RaceTech Gold Valve makes the shock perform as good as an aftermarket unit at less than half the prince.

    Converting to F2 wheels is another great modification. Used wheels aren't the cheapest thing but I can help you out with the kits to convert to them.

    Is there anything in particular that you want to do?
