Some Custom VFR750’s

…A few years ago, I had some VFR’s that had been wrecked and all the bodywork was destroyed. Honda stuff is expensive to begin with, but VFR stuff is crazy. Since the VFR was basically a street version of the RC45 racebike, I decided to see if I could fit RC45 race stuff on the VFR. Amazingly enough, it fit pretty well- even used the stock upper stay. Since there was no provision for a headlight, I did a cut and paste with a headlight from an old GSXR and made lenses out of lexan. There was a lot of custom fitting and bracket making, but all in all it worked out well.
The first one I did in the then current HRC Smokin Joes paint scheme and it looked awesome. Everywhere I went it drew a crowd. The second one I did a few years later in the red/black HRC scheme and the 3rd one was done in yellow/black. They had the benefit of being custom while retaining the stock mechanicals. Great bikes… Alas, all of them have since been wrecked and so all we have left is a few pictures. The first one is at Daytona sitting next to my friends CB400F- another great classic. The others are just photos of the bikes when they were completed.
