Re: First WIP: Honda VFR750R

Here is some of the progress I've made so far...

I've added a back to the rear caliper and a few extra bolt heads from stretched sprue.



I 'carefully' drilled and removed all the plastic where the holes are, I can't believe I managed it



This link had some holes to fill and a few bolt heads added.



This discs were drilled.



I added a back to the caliper, a pad retaining pin and bleed nipple (not shown). I also filed the massive void on the inside of each leg (and inadvertently the front mudguard locating holes, which luckily opened up again easily.



I added a scratch built rear brake master cyclinder. It's not fantastic, but better that none, although it may never be seen! I also changed the fitting the master cylinder connects to as I prefer the look of this and it wasn't to much work.



Finally, for the moment, I scratch built a new piggy back for the rear shock as the kit one was a bit basic and I wanted to try a little more detailing. This might not be seen but was fun to make. I've still to add the jubilee clips to it.



Let me know what you think.
