Re: How to cut the ears off my VTR fairing ? April 2023
Thanks Chris & understood. I've collected lots of pics of VTR owners bikes and following the arc appears to be the trusted principle. Its the mechanics of the cut I'm most interested in and 2 discs together is interesting, so will try & find out if I can see any more details on the net.
