Thanks, sixt3. It is always a pleasure when someone enjoys my videos. The song is by M83; the album is "Hurry up, I'm dreaming." I should have given proper credit, but somehow, I couldn't find the space to fit it in. My big, fat head always got in the way.
ccrunner,
I'm back from my little adventure, and here is what I brought back.

It is a '98 VTR; decent shape with about 40,000 miles (61,000 K) and looks and sounds to be strong (no I didn't ride it; that was 35 years ago
). But there are enough good bits for me to sell off, to probably break even, and have a free engine in the process. The VTR is close to your VFR, and I already have a couple of questions that I'll PM you. Your post about tilting it back, and the hydraulic clutch. Having said all that, where is it going to go?
Well, my next project will be a Morgan 3 Wheeler replica. Why? It is funky, it is different, it is a challenge and most of all, Calvin and Hobbs would approve.
Actually, I have been researching my follow up project for about a year (you have to plan for succession), and I was sure that a Porsche 550 replica was the way to go. But after spending some time on their forums, and dealing with some suppliers, I came to the conclusion that they were all a bunch of pecker heads. And don't even get me started on the Cobra crowd. Oichkatzlschwoifsauhund.
Anyway, it will be a long term project, since I have a perfectly good 7 to play with and sort out, but it feels good to plan another build. And I never did take the build table apart. Lazy me.
