Over the winter/early spring of '09 during several trips back to NC for work/rental house stuff, I slowly pieced the front-end conversion together & tended to the cleanup & cosmetic stuff.

Eventually, she was ready to haul back to Nashville!

Unfortunately, shortly after getting it back on the road it developed an electrical/ignition issue. Thought it was the charging system & replaced/upgraded all that - but it persisted & remained parked since last summer. Life has been pretty rough over the past year, but I have a great new pad with a garage now - and one of the first orders-of-business is to get the VFR sorted out. I've been through a lot with that bike, and I really look forward to many more miles & adventures on it, both solo & 2-up again!

You just can't let a VFR die. It becomes a part of you. LOL

What caused the fire in the first place?

Well, the insurance adjuster tried to blame it on a bookshelf stereo system. I think he just went in there looking for a name-brand appliance to try to pin it on so the insurance company could try to go after them. I tend to suspect a raggedy 4-gang lectrical box which my buddy had a halogen light stand plugged into while he was working on his truck - he had been gone for a couple of hours though and the lights were off, so?....
