That is an awesome awesome job.
First ride by the chap who helped build it…he says: ‘What an absolutely stunning motorbike that is to ride! I’m surprised how well it goes. The engine is mega and the noise!’ Job done!

Wow, sounds gorgeous! Is the screen from https://www.slipscreens.co.uk/ ? I’m thinking of trying one of theirs.
Yes it was from Slipscreens- bought it through their ebay shop. Pleased with it as I wanted clear. Cant stand tinted or coloured screens!
Cheers I’ll have one of those
If Honda had produced them like that, it would have been a real world beater.
This is the best example of a VF I have ever seen.
