I'm thinking of using a VFR, for the cool single swingarm. from there im not exacty sure what i want fairingwise. i might just try to street fighter it. anyhoo, anybody got similar projects? or more pictures of hybrids? how would i fit fairings from other bikes on it anyways? custom fairing stay dealys?

Hell yea man. I also want to do a VFR next, I'm tired of revving the **** out of the I-4, so my next bike will be either a V or a bigger I-4. I'm thinking VFR for custom, or just manning up and buying an RC.

He mentioned my bike, so here it is:


With the old exhaust and front wheel:


And one of my favorite VFR customs:

As far as getting things to fit, you just need to buy what you want to use, and start mocking it up (some fairings will work better for certain bikes). I had to make a bracket to fit an f4i fairing stay to my frame, and then had to cut some off the lowers to make them fit. Not a real big deal, just took some time and trial and error. As for the tail section... that was a pain in the ***.
