Great mod, now you must find the front wheel to make them look the same, guess that you had to change the rear spring.

V's,

Was this a direct bolt on? How much did you have to mod the bike to get it on? Looks very nice.

That is neat looking.Makes you look twice, that's for sure.
I've always liked the look of the VFR's, too.

ok HOTSWAP>> this was a fairly easy mod only fabrication i needed to do was notch the crossmwmber where old cbr shock went fab up an upper shock moutn and modify the lower link cuz the whole shock sits offset bout 3/4 inch... and then i had to have 2 bushings made i had a machinest do it at my work but any shop could do these fairly easy and reletively cheap... if you guys need spec on any of this stuff or more detail hit me up....
