New(and extremely happy) VFR owner from New Zealand looking for information:)

Hi all fellow VFR fans-I was surfing for information on a bike I've just managed to find buried in a guys garage here in New Zealand and I thought on the off chance it may be loosely based on an RC36RR project I stumbled across built by a guy in the netherlands,Rob Lindeman ?.I purchased the bike last week as RC30/RC45s are getting too hard to find, and too pricey for me!

If you have a spare few moments I value your thoughts on the machine below, and indeed any suggestions you may offer with which I could improve it- it will be seeing track day work as well as a road bike from days gone by for me, I was racing the early 'blades on the national circuit in the mid '90's and this era of bike holds a lot of nostalgia for me- along with the fact this is an Aaron Slight(from NZ) replica

Specs that I know:

1991 VFR750 (RC36) frame
CBR900 Forks/Triple clamps/Brakes?/and 16" Front Wheel
RC45 Replica Body Kit
Free Flow Exhaust

I can't find any Numbers on the engine casings, the gentleman I bought it off also is unsure of the history and it's rumored to be an HRC motor, and he mentioned in passing an RC41 though I know this is not likely! Although I haven't had the bike long enough to Dyno, or test on the track yet it has a feeling of a lot more than the factory 100 HP, I also own a 2010 ZX14, 2007 Moto Morini Corsaro and am currently sponsored by Ducati Australia as an NZ tester and write for New Zealand's largest bike magazine,Kiwirider- and i would love to try and figure out more on this bike in order to put it in the magazine!

Vapor digital dash with lap timers/shift light etc(can be re calibrated if I was to move to a 17 " front wheel)

Rear Suspension appears to be the factory RC36 unit with pre-load adjustable only, This is one thing I would like your thoughts on, I'm around 95KG and would like to be able to adjust Rebound/Compression or at least rebuild this one to a suitable state for track work.

Here in NZ second hand or aftermarket spares for the older bikes are quite rare so any input you may be able to offer me to get this bike up to a standard I'll be happy with would be greatly appreciated, I'm looking forward to getting new tyres on this next week so i can start using it!

I can provide better quality pics with more detail at any stage.

Regards and thank you for your time,
Gavin
New Zealand

 

Slighty's old number and colors...like the ram air, does it go into a sealed airbox?

Hi there Norcal Boy- I haven't had the opportunity to get the tank off yet- and there are carbon trim panels between the fairing and tank making it a tad tricky to shine a torch into( 11.30 pm here)- I'm planning on a strip down this weekend as will have it's Debut at the new hampton Downs circuit here for my birthday ride day May 14. The previous owner did tell me the ram intakes were functional even tho I haven't confirmed it yet. Are there any tell tale signs other than engine numbers which could help me identify what engine this may be?(new to the v4's).

Glad one of our best motorcycling imports hasn't been forgotten with Slighty... now if only the Britten had gone into production

 

Welcome aboard
Someone has put a lot of time and effort into that machine. You have quite the find there.
Good luck in your quest for info.
