It's been a while since i've had a build thread. I had a speed triple, which was awesome, but not quite perfect to commute on, and also nothing i wanted to modify on it. my wonderful wife suggested i sell it and get a project.I bought a supermoto to commute on, and, when no one wanted to buy the triple, I traded it at a dealer for a 2000 model vfr 800 in seemingly good condition (all original body work with only a few scratches)and 150000ks. they got the triple, and i got the vfr and a big cheque. And about 3 months worth of headaches as i had to force the dealer to replace the reg rec, stator and throttle position sensor until the vfr was working right.
Anyway, this is whats now in the shed. Please ignore the dodgy as fuck headlight setup, ii took off the fairing, but didn't have time to sort the acewell, and needed the speedo to work so i can ride it to the welder's to get the subframe on.

so far I've got a headlight (mofo) an 05 gsxr 600 front end and acewell (watto), delkevic stainless headers (internet), pc3 usb (birthday), ninja 250 seat and subframe (large)and a ducati 848 cast marchesini front wheel (which means i can use the rotors exben made for my carro's), and a forged 1098s rear wheel (rockhard).
I've also got a scorpion can for a gladius fitted, which makes the vfr sound fucking cool.
I'm hoping to have something resembling a fighter for nfr, and i'm pretty excited to be getting stuck in again.
