First time VTR owner

Post by Johannvw10.ZA »

Bought a red firestorm 98 in pretty bad shape.

Been busy wit cosmetics and mechanical. So far she had a respray. Colour white.

Still a long way to go. Im leaning towards streetfighter. But then VTR has got such a unique look and dont want to spoil that.


Such great info and ideas on this forum. Glad to be part of this forum.


Enjoy.

You guys might be on to something. Before buying i was lucky enough to take a ride on another VTR. Just to get a feel. And when i got onto mine it felt different. In the corners. Not sure that front end has been changed. And to what. But people on here will know better. Attached a photo of the exposed front. Maybe thatll tell more.

I agree with Al (AMcQ46) :thumbup:
It looks like they could be Fireblade 929 forks :?:
