Picked up the bodywork yesterday and got most of it fitted before tea. Took some swearing and shouting as I tried to route the wiring harness so it didn't foul the fairing. The Spondon subframe must be lower than a stock one [emoji849]. Seat unit and some tweaks to do tomorrow and I can get it booke...

Packed up most of the bodywork to go back to the painter on Monday. wombles well pissed off. I should have properly looked at it when I picked it up yesterday but I was in a rush and you just trust people will do a good job. So when I pulled it all out of the car and unwrapped it from the dust sheet...

I'd have guessed it would fail without a flash for main beam but I can't see that in the regs now I've read them. They just talk about main and dip beam, alignment and switching. The regs are on gov.uk so have a read yourself and make sure.

What Chris said. Venhill all the way.

Set it up however works for your bike. Most likely longer line to the left but routing makes a difference. Crush washers are one between each line and the m/c and bolt, so just three. If the bolt doesn't nip the washers up when you tighten by hand don't force it, buy deeper washers. Basically, don't...

Got it running [emoji41]. Start-up procedure as per Roger's sheet, carbs balanced and the TPS set. I was shitting myself when I pressed the starter but it started easily so I'm hoping all will be good from now on. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk Come on Nick. When’s the final unavailing? All we...

So it's a runner. Finally. It's backfiring on starting up when warm and hangs around 2.5k as the revs decrease, so the fueling isn't right. I need to reread the carb tuning guide and see what I need to do to make it a bit better before booking an MOT and getting it on the road. Once it's run in it'l...

This thread has useful info. I'm looking at doing the same over winter. https://www.vtr1000.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=39935 An ignition advance across the range is not what you need on these bikes. If you've got a standard engine I'd not bother with the Ignitech, but you've started already...

Everything always takes longer than you think. I now double my time estimate then add another 50%, so three times longer than I expect. Pretty much covers it.

Good job.

Got the wiring under the seat all tidy, fitted the number plate and made a start on shaping the replacement seat foam. Oil and water tomorrow and hopefully the bodywork will be ready so I can get it running.

found a new old stock lefthand rear panel for the pegaso and not at aprilia prices :Argue 1: . £32 delivered, chucked it on, used a firestorm footpeg to replace the one i ripped of, chucked a set of bars on i had sitting about and other than tank rash on the left side its pretty much back to how it...

The indis could go under the plate but time is pressing and I want the bike on the road. Hence the no lights option. Distance at the rear should be 180mm, front 240mm. Fabio's told me I'm good as I thought. Possibly removing the indi toggle switch for picky testers. Seems to me that would be the sam...

As far as I can work out the MOT rules say that indicators need to be fitted, as well as headlight, number plate light and brake light, if the bike has front and rear position lights. I'm having problems with rear indicator location as the tail tidy is slap bang in the middle of the exhausts and ind...
