the story so far...

back in 2009/2010 i built a 929 Fireblade for a very good mate and the bike is now finished and has been in SFM this month (April 2011 Uk Streetfighters mag)
but chris now has the bug and is building another but using a 954 blade.

the speck to aim for...

VFR800 swing arm......check.
CBR1000rr9 seat unit...check
Stubby Gp exuaust....check

the aim is to keep the bike as stock looking as possible.
