That new front end will look so nice on the RVF. Can't wait to hear what the big bore motor is like to ride, that thing will fly!!

Re: RVF400 Project - A step in a different direction.
Mainly gathering parts for the build. I've ordered the Carrillo rods from Mike, and should be here this month. Still need to get some crank/rod bearings, piston rings and modified head gaskets before I can start assembling the engine.RoninZX-10R wrote: ↑Tue Feb 19, 2019 7:52 pmHave you been able to make any further progress?

Looks like you've been spending a lot of time collecting bits! Have you had the cylinders bored out yet?

Re: RVF400 Project - A step in a different direction.
What did you end up doing with the GP-T kit? Do you know if the fitment is the same (or similar) for a VFR400?
