Re: Fitted vfr bars lastnight
Got away with the throttle cables, just turned one of them slightly where they come out of the twistgrip. Extended steering stops by glueing piece of 3mm aluminium to them with tec7. So far so good. Going for a decent spin in morning I'll let you know if they fall off :problem: . Took all of 15 minu...

Re: Fitted vfr bars lastnight
I was prepared to cut the fairing, but by extending the steering stops by approx 3mm I didn't need to. Turn the handlebars fully to the left and fit the left bar first,horn button just touching tank, then set up the right hand one to suit it. Needs a little bit of fiddling, I cut the dowel for the i...

Fitted vfr bars lastnight
Fitted vfr bars lastnight, they are from '98-01 models. I am very happy with the result, I have to recommend this modification to anyone looking to rise their bars without losing the original look. Didn't have to trim fairing or anything, just added stoppers to reduce steeering lock, doesn't really ...

Re: Mirror Extenders
Hi, I have a pair of the first extenders, very effective but not very professional looking , the cyclemirrors.com ones look the business, has anyone tried them yet.

Re: My new ride (SP1)
Beautiful bike , looks like new, bit of dirt on the front tyre though, .
I'd love a spin on an SP1/2 to compare with the Firestorm. Are there similarities or are they like completely different bikes to ride?

I'm in Wicklow Phil, When the weather is good a Sunday spin can bring you almost anywhere in Ireland, small country.

Re: Survival build
Starting to look good Phil. :thumbup: I like the back end especially. Can't wait to see the finished product. The VTR must be one of the hardest bikes to customise properly. I am saving up for a riser kit like yours at the moment, love the bike but the wrists are taking a bit of a hammering. P.S. if...

Re: newbie to the forum (and the firestorm)
Welcome aboard mate. The torque and sound of the Vtr is addictive. I bought my YELLOW one on impulse, now I'm glad I did, I recon its one of motorcycling's best kept secrets
