Not much is left untouched on this VFR400 restomod. A complete front end swap to modern forks, hydraulic clutch conversion, and plenty of titanium parts brings this capable little machine into the modern era. Being renowned as an amazing handling bike (even by today’s standards), the upgrades should result in a very fun ride.
Learning plenty along the way, hopefully some of my findings and resources will contribute to the NC30 fanbase.
