What did the fins cost you from the dealership?

Just about $40 for the pair...

...also picked up a set of Mikuni RS36 flatslide carbs...

If you need any GS engines or engine parts, I have TONS & am a dealer for just about everyone. I build GS motors and do LOTS of head porting. I also drag race them myself. I also have an 82 1000 Katana that is becoming a Pro Street type 1400 cc street/show bike. If I can help you in any way, call me at 714-356-7845. Ray.

What tail is that on the VF1000R (86?)

Actually, I'd be curious to see a full rundown of the specs as it is beautifully done!!!

Actually, I'd be curious to see a full rundown of the specs as it is beautifully done!!!

Thanks! Quick(?) rundown:

1986 VF1000RG, 1984 Euro VF1000RE fairing, 1986 VFR750 tank, Airtech fiberglass NSR250 tail, I made the seat and the undertail, 2000 RC51 front end, 1996 VFR750 swingarm with 91-93 VFR rear wheel, Ohlins VFR shock, frame modified with built-in ride height adjustment and moved lower rear frame spars up(for that airy look) one-off stainless 2x2 into 1 headers with Yoshimura carbon mufflers, VF1000F2F oil pump with modified oil pan for oil cooler, electrics/battery moved under the tail, bunch of other stuff.

Everything has been modified to fit and work on this bike as not one thing was a bolt on...

OK, been months but finally getting somewhere. Just got an offset rear sprocket from K&J in Germany. 11mm offset/47 tooth/530 pitch.

This leaves me with 17-18mm to find somewhere between the front sprocket and the RC51 cush drive.

nice. welcome to KR. go stock on the Kat. some stable.

OK, been months but finally getting somewhere. Just got an offset rear sprocket from K&H in Germany. 11mm offset/47 tooth/530 pitch.

This leaves me with 17-18mm to find somewhere between the front sprocket and the RC51 cush drive.

What size is the RC51 rim (5.5x17" or 6" x17"). My rear Marchesini is unfortunately 6" and I have to run an ever so slight offset to the rim to have frame/chain clearance. Most people I've seen run 6" rim on old kat frames notch or tunnel the frame for proper chain run with a centered rim. I have a 4.5" marcheisni rim coming from Japan which I think I'm going to switch to on my current 82 to correct the slight offset and on the second 82, I'm going to channel the frame during welding/bracing so I can run the 6" with perfect alignment.
