Stick around here and you can't go wrong, plenty of advice and guidance and members willing to help out.

Then with regards to fitting View Topic View Topic http://www.vtr1000.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=8326
To see if it has been done have a look at the CCT's on bike. Is there a thread coming out the end with a locknut. If so then manuals are installed.
Regulator rectifier you will find attached to the subframe just behind the tail panel on the right hand side near the battery. Check the regulator rectifier to see if it's a finned version.
