| Re: Why do this to a VFR? I'd be embarassed to call myself a custom shop with that bike. It's basically a streetfighter with some rattle can paint. |

 | Re: Why do this to a VFR? correct me if I'm wrong but how is "completely custom" a bike that you take the frame and engine from another bike and just bolt a bunch of aftermarket parts on and then make a tank and seat/rear end and belly pan. at best I'd call that a highly customized VFR.

That someone would deface a vintage VFR like that, and then start the bidding at $9k is just amazing, and sickening. | |

| Re: Why do this to a VFR? Nope. Front rotors have to be spinning with the brake applied to activate the rear. That's what I've heard. |

| Re: Why do this to a VFR? OK Mister Lastword. There is a small master cylinder on a cantilever pivot that only compresses when there is braking force on the front left rotor. Tell me how the front brake lever can activate the rear brake without the bike rolling? |

| Re: Why do this to a VFR? With LBS, if you lock the front brakes, and apply throttle, it will engage the rear brake, keeping the rear tire from spinning. |
