Looks good mate - what about the other side and a rear shot?

BTW * More bits came today - inc fairing lowers, Blade top yoke and very tidy looking oil cooler.

Beautiful, as has already been said it would be nice to see in reality next to a standard model.

Well done there mate, I always like to see another VTR that has been modified.

I have no idea how to post pictures on this site but the link gives you an idea of what I have done to mine.

Look at the last picture and you will see I have gone away from polished alloy and now have a powder coated rear arm....looks quite stealth and matches my carbon tank / bodywork.

Keep up the tinkering mate.

You are always welcome for a brew mate, I might have a mess with mine over the winter.
Would like to find an 05 R1 back end for the right price but they are as rare as rocking horse poo

Have you seen the mario nava R1 tail on a VTR....looks well nice but costs a fortune!

KarlosVTR · Post by **KarlosVTR** » Thu Dec 06, 2007 6:55 pm

i happen to have aquired an 04 05 06 r1 tail for just that purpose

will be fitting it with front and rear seats too

keep your eyes peeled for them, they come up quite often and arnt as expensive as you might think

What parts did you actually get mate, if you don't mind me asking...how much did it cost?

KarlosVTR · Post by **KarlosVTR** » Thu Dec 06, 2007 8:48 pm

its just the seat plastics at the mo and set me back Â£40 all in which is cheap. got the seat pads at another Â£30, fabricating a subframe and intend on using as many storm parts i can including the top half of the subframe, possible cbr400rr fold away rear pegs. the rear light will be an aftermarket one since they are 10 a penny

anything else i can help with just ask
