98 Honda VTR Superhawk:

 This was one of my first projects! Unfortunately I was not able
 to finish it since I left Spokane for school! It was an insurance
 claim and most of the damage was bodywork. I replaced one of
 the radiators with one I got off Ebay. I also had to rewire
 almost the whole thing because whoever did the wiring was either
 drunk or blind. I put on a new tail light and rear turn signals and
 rewired the headlamp and front turn signals. After that, I
 replaced all the body pieces, changing out the front 3 pieces for
 a single molded piece. That was a challenge because the custom
 molded faring wasn't fitting right.

 Here's my trick for that: I bolted it down with minimal bolts,
 heated the garage with a propane heater, stretched the faring
 while it was warm, finished bolting it to the frame and let it cool.
 That formed the faring to the frame and held it's new shape so
 that it could be removed and painted. Unfortunately I was not
 able to paint it since I had to leave for MMI.
