I have a braced swing arm and used a hugger from a 2004 R1 Yamaha.

Many have tried,

Watching this with interest.

I have been thinking about a 2-1 system with a low mount Buell type can.

I have seen it somewhere before but can't find it.

Can you post a pic of the tread pattern ?

Just curious.

That is a clean R, Nice bike. My brother had a tls and I did a lot of work to it. The back shock was changed to an R1 until with the help of a bracket that I got from a guy here in Oz. Transformed the bike. Fitted a Timing Retard Eliminator, clear clutch cover, lightened flywheel , valve adjustment,...

Thoughts on the Angel GT11s! Have done 450 Ks on them now and they feel really planted when leaned over compared to the Sportmax 11 s that I had and got 13500 Ks out of . They were a bit "Squirily " at the end. The Angels ride softer yet are slower to turn , almost heavier . I hope I get t...

Welcome along from a fellow Skippy!

Betcha it's good to have her back. The VTR has soul. You can have all the gimmicks however the VTR delivers. I had a series of bikes and don't regret ever having kept the VTR. There are a few bikes in the CAVE but none stir the soul like the VTR. Welcome back. Cheers from OZ :beer: :beer: :beer:

Keep the info coming !

Like me there are many people,that have been on this forum for years. I can't help but wonder how members bikes have arrived at their current state and am curious about the journey that the owner took. I have enjoyed every minute of the trip with my VTR right from when I first got it. Asthmatic piec...

Welcome aboard,

Tell us about your bike and post a few pics !

Be careful as these bikes have a habit of sucking you in.

Enjoy !

Greetings from Down Under.

Have a great day mate and a couple of bevvies!
