Thanks. I like the blue as well. I wouldn't mind polished wheels to set it off. I'm just starting
The brake delink/upgrade so will post pics soon.

 

Welcome ! Congrats on a very nice VFR !

 

pics of the finished brake delink and upgrade using vtr1000 fork lowers, cbr954rr fireblade calipers, cbr600f4i 5/8 brake master on the front and cbr600f4i brake master on the rear. venhill braided lines. genuine pads.
after bedding the brakes in on a 50km ride I can report that it stops really well. front brakes are great with a super firm lever and nice feel but the rear brake is pretty average unless you stomp on it. im thinking of buying a nissin radial brake master cylinder in time to just give me that slightly better braking and feel but that wont be for a few months. in the mean time its was worth it and the fork rebuild including new bushes, seals, 5w motul oil and existing racetech .95kgs springs work well. overall it cost me $650 to do the swap which isn't that much really.
