RF 900 make over
i know its not vw but there are a lot of bikers on here so i thought i would give u a look at this..
i got this RF900 with stuff all k's and in perfect show room condition
now long stoyt but the cut of it was it fell over casueing a fair bit of damage to the left side so i took this and me being me went a little mental.
i wanted to keep the bike looking along the lines of what it was but to change it enough so that people would have to look close to work out what it
is. The vast majority of people who have seen it thant know me have thought i get a new bike, others think i pushed it over just so i could do this
:o)
heres the outcome of my latest project
the rear can needs to be lifted more in line with the bodywork but apart from that i am stoked with it..

Looks insane dude!!
I'm not a bike person in any way, but I can appreciate art. And this thing certainly is!!
By the way, I may have some touch up work on Alyce for you to do

Lets just say I might have to learn how to fibreglass before it comes to you for paint.

Good to see the rear fairing/cowling (?) made it to you in one piece mate - I think it was worth me picking it up in person as they paid extra care
stuffing all those packing peanuts in there!
Looks the goods - glad to see you finally decided on a colour!
