Tomorrow I will pick the fairings from the repair/paint shop.

    Unfortunately the starter motor is giving up , but already bought a new repair kit to replace it when I change the engine oil.

    Many thx. I'm very proud how this came out.
    20 days after I have a dream bike. Just waiting for a friend to do "CPR"to the front again , so I can go out for the " shakedown".

    My RC36-II was a fulfillment of a long term desire too.

    Beautiful job! How do you see through that windscreen when you're tucked? It looks really dark.

    Yeah, that's a good looking screen. And bag. The base attachment can be moved on the bag if you find you want it more forward, I did.

    Indeed . It's a company called MRA windshields ( Germany ) and it is very good.

    Thx for the tip about the tanklock.

    Many thx. I'm very pleased how this came out. It was a blind purchase , because I always was a Cruiser guy. Lots of Shadows after , this is my first sport/touring . I didn't know what I was missing , even with such an iconic bike like the VFR .
