Project VFR400 NC21 - skidMark,

[skidMark]

Ok as some of you know, ive bought a vfr400 nc21 , now it was looking extemely unloved when i got it so ive pulled her apart to do her up properly i figured no point doing it halfarsed.

mods please do not merge this thread with the one from when i first bought the bike, cheers.

warning: the following images may disturb some people as it shows a bike in a very erm stripped down state

i will try to keep this updated often

...yes thats the frame....on my chair :mellow:

[Disco Dan]

What about the picture of your frame in your bed?

...ya know "you sleep with hondas" ;) hehe

just kidding dude :)

Looking good.. keep going!

[Buddy L]

Well that didn't take you every long at all.
what are your goals to finishing the bike? eg time frame. and colours
watching the progess of this bike, i will.
Keep it clean mate. keep it clean.

lesson number one...make sure you use a decent quality socket on your wrench for the engine mount bolts.... and lean on it with all ur might, just do not tap with a hammer as i discovered they are quite soft bolts...so it just strips em, you gotta just lean on them and they eventually come undone

[Kittyhawk]

You probablly know the bike inside out before its even going huh??

Good on ya keep us posted...

you gunna finish this project? or will it suffer the same fate as the mini :bye:

[skidMark]

your much beloved mini will live again, i'm just lacking the $500 to get the windscreens put back in and about the 200 and something by the time i wof and reg her...then shes back on the road....i gotta get it back on the road.....because...i gotta get the bike to the track somehow and seeing the mini has a towbar, i'd rather tow it than ride it there because if i bin it i will end up stranded at the track with an injured bikey

You're right... they should put it into pointless drivel... :dodge: just hurry up and fix your bike Mark

[Black Bandit]

Sheesh, so many bits and pieces. Hope you don't end up with any "extra" nuts and bolts when she goes back together. :dodge: Imagine if somebody accidentally knocked over that table and spilled all the bits on the floor. :crybaby:

[Swoop]

I notice that in picture #1, behind the motor/frame of the VFR, there appears to be a broom sweeping away some remains. I am guessing that this would be from a gsxr that met its fate in a corner....

Bloody impressive stuff there Mark, keep up the good work!:rockon:

it's what the vfr shit out after it swallowed the gixxer whole,

other bits of various bike everywhere lol

[ManDownUnder]

Good luck undovering it dude. I'll be looking for updates

[skidMark]

got some goodies on the way for her ;) firstly...

yoshimura exhaust

nsr250 mc21 lower fairings

either a single seat race tail with LED lights, or a seperate rider and pillion seat setup with nc30 tail lights ;)

aftermarket indicators (most likely oxford micros)

new footpeg hanger bracket

new rear tyre

replacement front mudguard

progrip tank pad (had it sitting round for a while with no bike to put it on)

brand new tint screen

new mirrors

new front brake lever

fork seals getting done soon

and possibly a USD front end from an rgv 250 or similar

mmmmmmm....

i think i'm in love

well it seems nice in my head anyways

[Disco Dan]

sounds good... with all that money you must have, does that mean I get my camera anytime soon? :Punk:

[skidMark]

**looks innocent**

well dude u could always go get it's remains off the nor western, bit of superglue good as new :dodge:

[skidMark]

**bump**...................

[Disco Dan]

**bump**...................

Carefull you might fall over with all the *Thread bumps* lol

hows your little baby coming along?

[yod]

yup i agree....update time

more pics!!

:rockon: the NC21

[Mr. Peanut]

Update:

It's in bits, and he wants to sell it.

$700 ono.

[gamgee]

haha I know how that feels after the one i did, ended up finishing it (well apart from the brake discs apparently) and it was worth it, mark just keep focussed on finishing it, unless you've run out of money, then your farked :dodge:

[skidMark]

theres an nc30 cough morcs one, i'm trying to capture:Punk:

[skidMark]

ok so ive been extremely lazy and well low on funds also so still getting alot of stuff sorted out.

i have to get a snapped off bolt spark eroded out of the frame before it can be painted/ powdercoated.

so hopefully i will take that to the shop tommorrow to get done

ive polished one foopeg hanger the other one is next to it for comparison (not yet polished) i'm not going to polish the other one as i am replacing it...somebodys done a halfarsed job of repairing it at some point.

ive purchased some fairings with a 2 seat tail setup, standard is single seat...so this will make it look a bit sportier.

also came with headlight fairing etc my headlight fairing had a part snapped off ...i will be replacing the screen with a new tint one though.

i promise i will update more often lol ive been a bad bad boy :P

[skidMark]

**bump** hehe

now you see racing is for the race track

racing on the road gets you killed.

i really don't see the point

just to try prove something to a prick like you does not seem worth my life.

since when did your life matter.
watch about shmit, may i quote- "once you have died, and everyone who knew you has died, it will be as thoough you never existed"-very true
so is there really a point to anything?
i live for the here and now.
just go hard, everywhere, anytime

[skidMark]

sometimes it pays to think of those who care about you rather than just caring about yourself.

Finally... this thread is getting interesting

[Mr. Peanut]

Racing on the road has nothing to do with skill. He who values his life least wins.

Why don't you just play Russian roulette and hand me your bikes unmolested? Same thing...

[R6_kid]

the rest of you fuck off if you aint gonna keep on subject, mark do the same you little shit... i have your fairings (as you know)... you can have them when you've paid in full buddy.

[skidMark]

alright can a mod please delete all the offtopic crap? cheers

[FA50]

ok back on topic please. save the racing for the track, mark will pwn you either way.

any updates?

[skidMark]

hopefully we get the frame back tommorrow you gunna take me down to get it, and we can grab some lunch.

[ZeroIndex]

As soon as I see some new photos that show that you are actually putting your bike back together I'll stop giving you shit... does that sound like a good idea?

[skidMark]

give me the 2 grand and it will be done in a week

powdercoating isn't cheap, and neither are yoshimura exhausts

the screen is on it's way from hong kong.

the frame is at an engineer getting a snapped bolt removed.

i didn't pull it apart for the hell of it

i'm doing it up i'm going to do it right

[skidMark]

alrighty got the frame back with the snapped bolt taken out

my new fairings have just arrived (thanks r6_kid for picking them up)

Do the job properly and give a VFR the respect and quality workmanship they deserve!

Yes, it does deserve respect, so hopefully he doesn't put this one down the road, like he has with previous bikes... Good luck Mark

[0arbreaka]

[skidMark]

rear sprocket is mint....front sprocket was buggered so got another one, when i have more money soon i will replace chain and both sprockets again...but in the mean time what it's got will do

[ManDownUnder]

I walked into my garage and could smell burning... then walked towards your bike and saw smoke coming from it..... the main earth lead looks way to small a guage wire and was melting and burning stuff.... Your bloody lucky I walked in when I did.... :nono:
