Aloha

I present my latest toy: a Honda VFR 400 NC30 from 1991
As far as I know it's standard, except the laser end can
It's the Japanese model

After buying it I had her completely checked at the local dealer and had the rear tyre changed (BT090)

First I wanted to keep her as standard as possible, but after a few weeks that intension was completely forgotten ;-)

Changes I plan to do:
- Steel braided brake lines
- New chain (what is a good chain and what does it cost?)
- Front fork upgrade
- Samco Red coolant hoses
- Change some bolts into titanium ones
- Some tyga stuff like brake and clutch lever and those beautifull fork caps (http://tyga-performance.com/site/produc ... ts_id=1142" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;)
- (A steering damper)
- (Tyga exhaust system)

Then I started counting and came to a total cost of way to much :-(
I guess most of us know that feeling ;-)

Well, let me know what you think

looks really well, and one of the best colour schemes.
i think you should loose the unnecessary red bits though.

Have Fun :mrgreen:

I bought her with the red bits and actualy I like it like this ;-)
Aspecialy with the red coolant hoses and a few red annodised details I plan to install I think (hope) it wil look nice

By the way I noticed I placed this topic in the "V4-workshop" instead of the "V4-general" section so if any of the mods could move it please ;)

I really like that colour scheme.

I'd personally start with braided brake lines, look nice and given that most people don't change their lines every 4 years most likely well overdue changing anyway.

Enjoy. :D
