Re: VFR400 Ground-up
AWESOME and worthy project. Sad that the tank will not retain that groovy paint. Bike looks nappy, but not a disaster. Keep the photos flowing.

Plus, I can't wait to hear your meltdown over a little carb problem on this one...

Not that I'm one to talk, alot of people know my love/hate relationship with carb'd Ducatis.
