Never mind your VFR I suggest for the three wheeler project "One Black one, one white one and one with fairy light on..........."

White? That's for cheap garden furniture and 1983 MG Maestros with matching bumpers and plastic wheel trims...

Mike

I didn't know you were that old

and Essex girls shoes

Who are these Essex girls you speak of ?

In all honesty i think RED wheels realy would look good on it [wonder if you can get a realy bright MATT RED]

No red shiny red Dai

I've seen a few on the vfr forum but I'm not so sure....

sssshhh, don't tell Boxermed but i chickened out on the 3 wheel project I did paint the em zed wheels dark grey though (no 50 shades jokes please ) a cheap aerosol can job ....

From this


To this..


Maybe I'll paint the bike white and have a green and orange wheel, or maybe a slight variation on the grey above might do it

Even more confused now

[slparry]

ooooo they look good

[Boxermed69]

Hmmm, where've I seen that colour recently? Oh yeah, HMS Bulwark out in Weymouth Bay

Shame about the 'project' Nigel, though I can understand it. No, I don't want the bugger back

Phew.. now gone to the home of "sidecarwillie" on a" local" forum , Came across a photo of it and kept pestering me . Reckons he'll have it attached to something shortly

[Boxermed69]

Is that a 'local' forum for 'local' people?

Well, if you can get a picture of the finished article, I'd love to see it.

Finally got around to tidying up the wheels , I listened to all the advice and decided to stick with Essex girls shoes.....



At some stage the wheels appear to have had polished outer rims with painted centres , it had been suggested on the vfr forum , a little too complicated for me and I needed the bike rolling again ...

Etch primer


Fibre washers between the wheel and disc

I then went out and got the wheels dirty The finish isn't great but if I still have the bike when it needs new tyres again I may get them refinished professionally.
I fitted cheapo Maxxis tyres and went from a 180 rear to a 170 , they seem to work better than squared off 021's.
It really needs a new shock , fork upgrade , matching paint on panels... I think i'll just keep riding it.


And yes I did forget to paint the centre of the rear wheel ...

[bigblackfalco]

Looking good!
I used to have an 8 spoke rear for mine. Love the look of it, but couldn't get used to the quirky handling of the wider rim (5.5 vs 5.0 of the later 5 spoke).
Do you run a 180 or 170 section tyre on it?

[nab 301]

I just removed a squared off 180 021 and fitted a 170 (Maxxis ), feels better already!

[el-nicko]

Hmmm, White wheels, nice. Why not attract some opprobrium from the Taliban wing of Boxertrix by following my lead and adding some rim tape?

Ahhh yes, now I see the yellow (I have budget tyres) Maxxis emblems.
Loved the Supersport front

Nooooo.............

I like my VFR, too - it's a real ratty shed (as you'd expect with around 140k miles on it), but has a very nice hand made stainless exhaust on it - with a choice of quiet, loud and 'fück me, that's offensive' cans for it.

The electrics are a bit iffy, as it stood outside in my brother's garden for 4 or so years before I bought it - so I've just grabbed a 2nd hand loom from a low mileage bike off eBay, which I plan to fit next weekend.

Then I'll do the clutch and take it to Llandow for a track day.

Mine is tatty but the electrics seem ok so far .... good luck with the loom fitting!

Keep everything original. Best way to go when comes to selling on IMHO
