Yes they are a bit shorter, but nowadays most lift gates are electronic triggered the pass in your inside pocket

i know this is an odd comment but i am arranging my week in the Alps for next year. For years i have worn my armoured textile bike jacket for skiing and snowboarding. it's much warmer than a ski jacket, much tougher, and they are cheaper than a ski jacket, even a ski jacket without armour. this is b...

is there a stamp etc saying spondon did the work? i've seen a VTR 1000 that had bracing put on it by someone other than spondon -

Spot on about front end I am down 10 mm springs same as you. I tried 10mm at back, too harsh for me, perhaps gearing you had suits better. I have a Penske shock.

for a track day bike you must must put protectors on the alternator and clutch covers. the original forks aren't up to it. they must be altered use racing brake fluid. buy stuff from ebay not Halfords race brake fluid a fork brace never rode one with an original shock drop forks 5 mm to start with i...

yes some good points. I never raced at pembrey or Mallory so I never found a circuit I used first other than the start, where I did find keeping the front down a problem. I ran this gearing at snetterton and it was ideal for the long straight and also for donington. the bike just hit 9000 rpm in top...

Yes in 2013 you can find a series or two to race them in. I did this year. I have never ridden a vtr on the road much, but in general: The bike is very overgeared. One down at the front and two up at the back and they really pull out of corners. This and a quick action throttle would before you do a...

I have been running a race vtr with moriwaki cams, exhaust and lowered (1 tooth up front 45 at the back) gearing. It has a quick action throttle. It was doing under 20 mpg at donington....

also as a sign of goodwill I can give my thoughts on racing a VTR in 2013!

I could not contact the admin, so this is the best I can do.
I did not read the small print about selling the bike so the post has been removed - fair enough and I apologise.
I only have 10 posts so sorry.
no malice intended

Oh yes - noise. You will be tested. One day your bike will be 99 the next place/time 101...... Most places put a limit on 102db occasionally 105. If you have baffles in and pass they will put a 'B' on your sticker. If you get pulled up with no baffles in you will be sent home if you are obviously no...

I race a Minitwin, but fancied an extra class now and then. I Built up a vtr over the winter to enter now and then. I raced it at oulton (without a steering damper) - would not advise! I Was not quick.Only other meeting I did this year was with it was NG and entered it in 1300 pre injection got a 2n...

thanks everyone, i dynoed it on the BMCRC dyno today and i am a little over 105hp, so i shall put some baffles in the end cans, run it on standard unleaded and that should just get me below 105hp. i suspect the engine's a bit worn, but no point doing much about it. i have managed to get the weight d...

I am building up a vtr for a race series where there are power/weight rules. Forgetting everything else, how much extra horsepower do you get? I appreciate most people would know the difference between standard and cams plus filter plus exhaust as opposed to cams alone. I suspect about 7 horsepower,...

I have a set of Harris rearsets on my vtr race bike and want a spare set in case of a spill. I was going to use a standard set modified. Anyone got a standard set inc. everything except master cylinder at a decent price?
