That's is a REALLY nice job :) looks like a concept vtr done by mr Honda himself good work! Just a quick question or two is that a 929 front end? If so how does it handle compared to stock? Also what's the rear tail light? I have never seen that before and also looks pretty cool. Again nice job keep...

Well having only ever taken bikes to garages for MOTs I am quite happy to get hands on! Yeah it's easy up until the removal of the front cam cover which is a PITA to get off you need small Honda hands to get in there and getting the top two bolts back in are even more fun! Another thing the original...

My God what a difference! Thank you Benny and Tony Nail on the head, timing was 180 out! I believe it was a previous owner who's done this as the cam cover bolts were well roughed up and struggled to get a purchase on them. Plus the cams had what looked like tipex writing on them. Anyway all done no...

Its definatley a solid sound that only happens under load like pulling away or accelarating to overtake ones the engines out of load its just quiet. Any more ideas on what to check its a re...

right another days riding a bit more of a chance to listen! So it sounds like its coming from the front cylinder and it sounds like a woodpecker has attached itself to the engine and is tapping as I accelerate (yes I have checked for a woodpecker but there was not one!). It is there subtley when idl...

Chain and sprocket look in pretty good nick teeth are not worn that much certainly not shark toothed!

The noise def sounds like it's coming from the engine.

I appreciate the replies and thanks for the welcome.
