VTR Project
VTR Project
I thought it would be a good idea to start a new thread for the build of my new bike
I will be building this alongside the Ducati 750ss cafe racer project (which is now moving forward)
A quick recap for those of you that are new to the forum
We lost a member a while back, Benny
I was fortunate enough to get hold of a lot of his Vtr parts. Including the frame and engine
My intention was always to build another bike
Having managed to get my written of bike back from the insurers, I am now in a position to get on with it
Hence this thread

Re: VTR Project
Wondered if you were going to do this when I read you had had the bike returned from the insurers

Re: VTR Project
Hope you masked up all the threads or plugged them .
Powder coat ain't easy to clean off .
Looks good , I do like a black frame
