I'm as guilty as the next guy: You come across a used and abused bike on Craigslist and adopt it as a pet project, determined to nurse it back to health as if it's one of those sad-faced abandoned puppies on a late-night TV commercial. It's a budget project and new body panels are expensive to replace or repair, so it will be reborn as a stripped down "streetfighter." This is not the case here.
Our builder, apexandy, on VFRdiscussion.com, sought out a nice fourth-generation VFR as a basis for his build, in this case a 1995. He envisioned a naked V4-based bike that Honda might have created had they taken that path. In his words, "OEM+ was the idea. I would give a lot of thought along the way to making a bike that functioned, looked and rode for the most part like an OEM product or better." The result is not only a visual success, but the detail in its planning and execution is just as impressive. Be sure to visit his short video at the bottom of the post.
