Looked standard and in nice condition.

Welcome. Lots of knowledge on here.

Wow. That looks sweet. Nice one.

On my VFR I had a similar symptom. It turned out that my slave cylinder was leaking very slighlty and the fluid had crystalised in the chamber. It's very easy to check. Any problems then clean it all out, replaced the seals (set costs about £20), new clutch fluid. I would change the engine oil first...

Did the forks arrive ok?? Yes. Sorry, I meant to contact you through FB. I haven't unwrapped them yet. I will do that tomorrow but there wasn't any damage to the packing. I have been very busy this weekend but manged to get a little riding in. The more I ride it the more I like it. Did summat stupi...

happy days..... now hush im still staring at the profile pic of the big Lav you have... that must be one of the very late 120s? sfc or something they were called? Top marks go to Fabiostar. It is a late 120 SFC. I also owned an RGS at the same time. Great bikes. Yes, somewhat hairy arsed, though no...

That's true. I never thought to look at the DOT.

Did you ever finish the conversion?

I have just visited M&P to buy new grips and noticed they have some paired tyre deals. VTR1000F sizes. Battlax 016 £120 pair. Maxxis Supermaxx £99 Pirelli Diablo £139. They are the only ones I can remember but there are many others. I think they are an extra £10 delivered. Could be worth checkin...

If someone on the forum is interested PM me

I know the thread is ancient but if you still have the handlebars I would be interested.

Chain fitted, loobman fitted, took it for an MOT today and it sailed through. First proper ride on the VTR and I like it. I can now proceed to alter it a little for my height and also fit Fabiostars fettled Firestorm forks.
I thought a little bit of alliteration was due on the site.

+1 on shimming with a penny washer.

Tt's running great with 170 Dynojets.

Rear end cleaned and waiting delivery of the new chain and sprockets. The more I clean, the more little problems I find. The forks could do with a refurb as they have pitting on the chrome. (10 owner bike).

In the end I used the rounded ones again. I will search for decent repolacemnts for next time I have the cam cover off.
