Re: Thinking of Selling Custom Vtr *need help to decide*

When i got the wheels powder coated they snapped a bolt and didnt do a good job to repair. so they left it out and i never got around to fixing it. That was 3 years ago :think:

Re: Thinking of Selling Custom Vtr *need help to decide*

Thanks all, this was my first custom job and I learnt a lot from it. I have refurbished a few bikes back to new and I have started work on a zzr project at the moment (kinda being done in background). I am very proud of what I have accomplished with the vtr, which is why I am finding it hard to ...

Re: Thinking of Selling Custom Vtr *need help to decide*

Thanks for the reply. Yeah I may go down the eBay road and see how the bidding goes. I don't do a lot of miles on this bike as I have others. Slowly selling them off for one reason or another. I have a 2002 Gsxr600 that I love to bits and spend a lot of my time riding that.

Re: Hot Engine wont start!!??

Ok so put a new starter and fixed all the problems. Took the old one apart to see what was wrong with it. Previous owner must have stripped it down and broken something as he tried gluing the thing back together. Water must have got in as the "glue" is not as good as a rubber seal and the positive ...
