I am sure they might be a problem that way here in Alberta as well, however integrated TS are very common mod on sport bikes here. I am such a wild and crazy guy I think I will take the risk. :wacko2:

Finally, completely coming together.  VFR 750 clutch master (14MM).  The levers came from China, but are pretty nice.  Still looking for two more stainless allen bolts to match on the handle bar mount.



I painted all of the removeable parts of the engine case.  The stainless allen bolts work and look pretty good.


Here is the other side.  I even painted the WIX spin on.



I lost a good friend of mine last fall.  He had just bought an 85 1100 and got to ride it about 5 times.  He just loved it.  One morning he did not wake up.  Left four kids. 





On Saturday the sun came out and I rolled it out side for a wipedown and pic.



On Sunday it looked like riding still a ways away

That looks like a hammer finish gunmetal grey you have used, I like it.



I like some of the detail on this. The frame painted, and while not usually a fan of rim tape, the red looks good on the black rims.

All round, looks great.

Looks great. I like your memorial,  good way to remember your friend and to not forget that everyday is a gift.  Will be anxious to hear how it trims out on the road when the weather clears.

Thanks Noel.  Actually it is the hammered black.

Looks really great. I thought the paint was gray too. It must be reflecting something back. Like the controls too. :drinks:

Thanks Joe,
Contrasted against the original engine it does look a bit grey; probably also the metallic in it reflects the flash.  I will defer to your obvious knowledge of paint, especially  with respect to RED. :good:  Your execution is almost surreal and I bet it generates tons of comments.  Now you just need a  :diablo: suit.  Looks great.

First ride yesterday....a few little issues but I got from Bragg Creek to Calgary.  Like all Fjs rock solid and stable.  Very smooth in terms of vibration.   Motor pulls really hard...can tell it is fresh.  All good so far. 

The 18 38 gearing dropped rpms to about 3400 at 100 Km per hour.

Nice. Nothing like the first ride ehh :good2:

18 38 looks to be a good combo for highway comute,  am i right?
Did thw rear wheel mod recently and i messed up a bit. I went with 17 front and 41 back.. It's fun and goes like a gun, but it's not my preferred choice for highway commute. I have about 50km to work one way so i manage for now. Next time around I'll go for something similar to you.

Cheers
Ken
Whant to check out my photos on the bike??

Thanks Ken,
Yes it does not feel like I should be shifting to the next gear in 5th....I always thought Mr. Yamaha forget to put in a six speed when they went from sport (84 1100) to sport touring.....

Sounds like you got it, Jeff.
Driving around town today, theres a good hill that goes up from the shore 100 ft or so. I come right on to her in second. If I gave it anymore, the front would have started coming up. What a rush! :wacko1:
