    Looked like the nose of yours went out further than the original. It looked cool. Maybe it was just the angle of the photo
    Edit: whoops, I was on about Morcs bike

    also

    i recovered the seats and added an extra 30mm of foam to the front seat as it is extremely hard after about an hours riding.

    Not sure, it has those funny cbr400-like indents round the headlights, painted black they look pretty cool. unfortunately my masking wasnt that neat and had to touch up with a vivid - add some cheap degreaser onto it a few weeks later and the vivid has run.... doh!

    Yeah, the indents looks that much better than the stock fairing which has a flatter nose. Not that the stock fairing is ugly. Love to know where to get a fairing like that

    By the way, I noticed in your profile that you have an '04 ZX10R. Do you perfur the VFR over that?

    Interesting. The ZX10R is one of my dream bikes. Maybe it shouldn't be...

    Dream bikes 99% of the time end up being a disappointment...

    Once you get over how nuts it is then its not all that, I couldnt live with one...

    Ride a vfr, or better still get a mint rvf400 from japan...

    I rode a GSXR600K5, that didn't dissapoint in the slightest (of course I've never lived with it)

    There isn't any 400's around and I've yet to test ride one. For the time being, the bike I have my eye on is the FZR1000 on trademe. Went to see it today and it looked great (due to insurance I wasn't able to test ride it, but if I had the cash and was serious I probably could). I'm going to the bank this week and finding out what I can afford
