Actually, there is a seat, just no pad (for the moment!)

since it works really well for me,

one way is to try taking the calipers off and raising them above the master. bubbles up, fluid down, rock-like brakes!

oh yeah! you betcha! thats half the fun!

i do appreciate it. youre right it's not done yet. there is a set of Hella driving lights on the way, i do want it to be street legal, well as much as possible :D the seat is still on a try-it-and-see basis and i will be getting a hugger because the police will be on my back as much as the road ...

posted this on one of the other superchicken sites and was getting some intersting feedback. lets just say they lifted the truck off it and it wasnt worth keeping the fairing. it sat in my garage a couple of years before i decided to do something with the pile of parts. always liked street fighters ...

if you dont mind the extra work, try taking off the calipers and raising them higher then the master, bubbles go up and keeps fluid off the disks and wheel. works well for me!

Yeah, I do like that britten! I did think of putting the rads under the seat and started to mock it up like that. I had a fan off a 750 ninja mounted on the seat frame but it started to get a little too thick for the wheel to clear. probably easier just to start off fresh and build a new seat frame ...

thought so. too bad tho, this bike really looks good without those rads hiding it.

i did see that one post of the bike that had the one larger rad on the front.
must have some interference with the front wheel. have to go to plan b and mount them somewhere else.

anyone run one rad on the vtr?

probably not enough capacity for it but just wondering all the same.

they had to lift the truck up to get my 'storm out and I am in the process of weighing my options. thanks from across the pond!
