first vtr 1000 new member
Hi all, just bought my first twin bike.1999, 20,000 miles been stood for couple of years. Just gone straight through MOT so no major problems. Its got Yoshi cans on it so sounds nice, not many other mods. I want to fit a tail tidy, any ideas where to get one or just trim the one that's on there? . Also "these" cct have not been done yet. Any advice on when to do them ? Should I use manual cct and if so why not just use the Honda automatic ones again. Looking forward to many years riding it so I need to get a few jobs/mods done on it....Cheers Damon.

hello and welcome buddy, don't use honda auto cct's. contact bazza on the forum for some manual cct's. the bike looks good.
oh and get the cct's done asap, every spring after firestorms have been sitting around for 4/5mths we get a rash of cct failures, and seen as your bikes been sitting for awhile, i'd suggest getting them done asap.
as for tail tidys, the common option is to ct down the standard black plastic item, other than that, you can buy a aftermarket undertray and attach your plate and indi's to it, looks a lot cleaner imho.

HEY YOU GUYS!!!!!!

Welcome . Before the tail tidy read the posts in the knowledge base on the CCT's & reg rectifier & get them done. New Honda autos are just as likely to fail as older ones & when they do fail its going to burn a hole in your pocket. If you give us your location someone may be close to give you a hand.

welcome..........and I agree with what they said, although you can do the stopper mod if you need a fast solution for teh CCTs to allow you to get riding now. instructions are in the knowlegebase
