It was with great sadness that I sold my VTR a couple of weeks ago. Here is is waiting for its new owner. Now it's time to start version 2. Attachments:

I might have to clean my workshop up before doing to much more. Maybe that will be today's mission. I picked up some of the cheap levers off eBay. They look quite good. Attachments:

I'm still trying to work that out. Initially it was to be a track bike, but now I'm thinking it might be back on the road. I've toyed with the idea of a naked, but I've never been overly fussed on them, and there is nothing broken or bent as far as bodywork or bars go. If the bike was a crashed one, then a naked would make more sense.

Not yet. The project has stalled at the moment. Too much work and other commitments. I'm hoping to get back to it over the next few weeks.

Hi col.i think you had the test mule idea once,ages ago.time for dem pipes.we all want nice headers.make em,sell em.any good at carbon fiber.soon i will drap some gladwrap over and around my carbs up to the frame and lay c/f in and pull.i reckon the rear lower link can be changed for a britton style shock set up,leaving bulk room for under seat exaust rout.has a wider swing arm for a 200 tyre been sorted?yeah yeah but it looks kool.just don't rake it like that other fella.wire wheels,lil turbo,stock rebuild tweeked just bit.missing the old one i bet.shame but at least you got most of your next allready.not all bad.goodluck
