i realised i havent posted a lot of stuff thats happening with bikes. so i'mmaking up for it, even if it's a small thing.

i had troubles with seat latch. turns out it was a bit bent, so it didnt quite fixed. took it off and hammered back straight. getting fairings back from mate, so might install them next week

mate brought in fairings for bike. although looks like imgur ate the quality. i LOVE how it looks, yeah it needs to be sanded and polished. but i still will put it on bike anyway... just like i wanted it to look

Congrats, that must feel great to have it waiting there

 

[rex_saugerty]

want to pt it on ASAP... then do some deails on it and get it tested so i can ride free for 2 years until next test

 

[rex_saugerty]

had a few hours to put them on bike... absolutely LOVE it. now i need to reupholster the seat. want to put projectors with halo rings and fab a dash for mounting speedo and idiot lights different

looks big next to other vfr

also, since the begining i had busted key on fuel tank, lived like that for years. then a while ago i lost key for rc36 and purchased a fuel cap for it. after a while i found the key. tried to put it on, but the holes were few mm off. so i did looked at them a bit and realised that i can change the inner parts. had to do some grinding so i couls hammer the pin out, and press it back in with new center lock piece.

now i have to purchase new indicators. will the tank up, change oil, and i can try to take it for inspection

[rex_saugerty]

i got a spare seat from a mate and rode it like that all last season without any upgrades. but recently i've found a joy in trying upholstery, so i decided jump in the deepest end of pool

started with that and carried on with working.
i used most popular faux leather vinyl at local specific store and another, that used for motocross bikes. and about 25mm thick foam. backed with pare material i've had left from van roof upholstery from last year

this was the hardest part

spent almost all thread i've had for this project

some days later test fitted it on bike
