pic' to follow......

I fitted the USD, TL1000 forks ,used a Ducati front wheel & discs, GSXR1100sling shot Nissan 4 pot calipers.
And GSXR1000 K1 fairing, the bike was accident damaged so used the parts I could get a deal on, or had in my parts stash.

Having owned this bike for some time, I've now insured it & running about on it. I've fitted USD forks & have opened up the stock silencers, made my own cam chain adjusters, not the fastest of bikes but very nice to ride, rock solid, handles & brakes very nicely! It would be interesting ...

You can use another cap, use engineers blue & use a half round scraper.

Ok thanks for that, I have read that the later VTR jobbies with the fins are a lot better ( same as the one fitted)
Are these finned one's as bad?

I'm off to france soon, my VTR has the stock finned reg'. I've used heat sink silicon & a ali' plate between the reg' & frame mount.Thinking of taking a spare, I do in fact have several reg's from various early bikes> Would the Superdream item work? thanks

Ok, thanks

Looking through the forum I've found a comment about the crank breaking at the cam gear radius,at what power level?, what else goes out? thanks

Please do not use Blacks bike Breakers, they sold me several items upon delivery two items were missing. Phone calls followed, & a very shitty responce from them followed. I won't go into a blow for blow account, but it was only after the credit card company were involved did i get my money back...

The carbs have not been balanced of late, but that would only show up at low RPM?
I'll check it out this week end,hopefully nothing to serious!

Ok, as in the big nut is loose, or is the basket & plates worn out?, is the clutch a weak part on these?
Thanks for your input, it'll save me some time which right now, I have very little spare!

My storm when riding it makes this rattle at all RPM, when you pull in the clutch it stops.
It only does it on the move.
Carn't see any thing loose, is the any part in the motor that is known to come loose & make this kind of rattle?
( it runs very smooth & pulls well )

it'll be a solo trip, & the bike was purchased as a project- it was very damaged, the engine is untouched the only thing to worry about is the fancy fuel injection ( i like things simple, like carbies). The idea of a very fast ride down to the med', sounds good, however i've seen the results of ...

Hi All, Never having run on the road for any distance my VTR, a trip to france is on the cards. Question is, I'm finishing rebuilding a GSXR thou K6 ( not ridden this either) which would be the better bike? I'm not taking any luggage & want to enjoy some quality fast riding :twisted: Please don'...

I've been searching for info, no luck re; Dyno jet kits, The main jets are changed & needles & small hole drilled in slide, are the springs changed as well? nothing else is there? I've rebuilt this VTR & have used a TL1000R front forks & ducati 900ss front wheel, I must say I'm very ...
