My VTR

[NY4600]

Finally Got my rims powdercoated today!

Make sure you clean the powder coat off where the brake discs mount to the wheel, it's a machined surface and needs to be flat, bare metal.

Thanx! Top tip

SNAP.... malc'o grumpyKat beat me to it, they should have masked the disk mounting faces [and the pilot diameter] before powder coating, any lumps and bumps on there will cause the disks to run out slightly.

You could have done them in White then it would look like the bike is flying through the snow Looking good mate. You will have a very clean looking VTR by the time you have finished. As good as new.

Thanx mate I've always liked white rims on bikes, but don't think it looks good on a black one Snow? We don't have snow in Norway

Hmmm... Then I have some more work to do...

Now the front fork is complete with new stanchions, bushes, washers, oil etc.
Made my own tools for fitting the upper bush and seal, mase out of pvc pipes.
I also welded a nut to a long pipe, and drilles two holdes in it to be able to bleed the damper rod.

Thanx ;) It worked out, was a simple and "free" solution.
Bought the stanchions from aaamotorhk on Ebay.

The day has come! After spending 6 hours in the garage yesterday, the bike is now ready. Nissing chain guard and front mudguard, but I have to have something to do this winter along with the paint job

Can anyone tell me what happened to this cylinder head? Looks like its cut and welded. As you can see from the other pics, its slightly modified
