Welcome to the club mate. 95 would be a very early one!
Good luck with the build

Yep, selector forks right enough. That's an engine out jobbie, I'm afraid.
But you can leave the heads on, and the crank and pistons in the top crakcase half; just lift the bottom case off (watch out for the three hidden bolts inside the cases) and the gearbox shafts lift out for an easy fork swap.

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
Re: VTR FROM WALES
welcome to the forum 95 vtr I don't think so.
Re: VTR FROM WALES
It might be, 95 is what Ron said at the petrol pump the other day.
The earliest I've seen was a P plate one I broke a few years ago.

Welcome along. Had a bike jumping out of gear before and it was a bent selector
