Having pre drilled, fitted and cut out fairings is amazing instead of trying to fit a set on your own which you will fuck up your first time.



Go on the race forums WERA NESBA or AMA and ask people there what they like. They will point you in the best direction.
urite, lemme google and post up some colors I'm picturing



FRAME::






Option 1: with black or white painted accent: gold/black hardware accents




Option 2: with same things as above





Option 3: more black/gold accent than white with this







Option 4: off white, black wheels/frame/hardware. simplified, less racy.

Shit good call, I'm going to get my brother to whip up a japanese style cute cartoon deal and some racing part names that match and cover the bottom half fairings with it before clear coat. Plus all the original ducati decals. I only need a little over a grand to finish this project....excited...

Just did an oil change on the bike. Was pleased to find a Scotts Performance Oil Filter (reusable stainless filter). Saved me $13 on my K&N filter.

The scotts filter for the VFR is $140 and the motorcycle k&n application is the same price ($25). I was using a crossover part from a mx3 v6.

Either way, kinda nice to see that the previous owner went all out on the bike as far as what was available for it. Aside from swapping front ends etc.
