new one from Ireland

Post by Tarmac Tyrant »

Hi all;) just sayin hey,im a truck mechanic by trade,i have a zzr600 and a zx12r currently,and my friend has just given me a vtr track bike,which he took apart and ran out of interest and money to put it back together.
its a 99 bike and looks to be in good nick,the whole thing is there apart from missing a front end,which is impossible to find over here at the moment,so ill start with getting a manual first and see what gos where;) i thinks its got a jet kit and twin devil stubbies,my mate drove it before he took it apart and he said it was an aaaannnniiimmmallllll :D
my names not on the guset list?.......i often go by my maiden name..nothing to be embarrassed about.....

Welcome to the forum TT :thumbup: It sounds like a good opportunity to fit a front end from a Fireblade, USD forks even 8)

thanks guys :D the thought of an upside down radial front end,has put a large smile on my face haha my friend sold on the front end for this bike,which more than likely was track spec,springs,bushes etc.i will indeed have a look and ask some questions.blade parts are far more available than vtr parts,so why not eh? im hoping to get it right around midsummer,looking forward to a blast in mondello 8)

Whats the craic man, theres a free download of the manual on here in the workshop. Theres a lad outside Mondello who could help you w/ the front end Id say. Monostorm on here or 2strokie on Biker if your on there. Also a breakers in Cork P&T are breaking one @ the moment, might be worth a shot
