I didnt examine the VX04 too closely...

What about the VX04 or the XU-1... do you know if they were "real" or not? I've always wanted to know...

On a side note, I've always dreamed and dreamed about having the same exact doors on my vx that the XU-1 has... I've even went as far as looking into the cost... and of course I decided not to. Way to much involved.
....was more interested in checking out the VX02!

But, the quick look I did give the VX04 would suggest its more structurally stable...
....maybe someone looked closer than I did..and can comment.

The VX02 is basically held together under the back cover , by a very flimsy
'web' of square tube. (There are pics somewhere on here!)

As for the XU-1...never seen it..but like it

There are a couple of owners that have modified their doors in a similar way to the XU-1..
....... either Russian or Japanese..or both!.. IIRC.
