It's probably not worth the hassle then,especially if it's going to increase the weight by a good few kilos

How heavy would you say the vfr one is compared to the vtr one?

Yeah,I've read it's heavier too but don't know by how much..the fabrication doesn't worry me it's the fact I could do all that work and the bike ends up turning like a oil tanker.

It looks good tho. Got to re work the silencer position too to get the best look aswell

I wondered if anyone experienced \done it.i fancied doing it but I haven't read much feedback on handling effects etc

Checked head and block faces..seem ok.just wondered if the water pump seal failed would that be another route for coolan...
