Lovely colour and decal design, well done.
Been tempted to street fighter my VTR before but was always nervous about exposing the side rads.

Sorry for being so slow on the pics....
I managed to get the exhaust mocked up and fit the starter at the weekend. Quite chuffed with how the exhaust looks.
I know they're uneven left to right....
Need to loosen off the headers and re-adjust them.

Good news everybody! I got it started!
Don't know how to post videos here soooo:
Didn't have a twist grip fitted at that stage so no revving.
As you can see also got the headlight, speedo and few other bits done too.

Cheers Guys!
Yeah almost done now, got to do a couple of little bits on the front end (hour or two) then all the works at the back:
-Cut and shut exhaust
-Make some exhaust hangers
-Make up brackets for the seat unit
-Re-cover the seat
-Make up brackets for the untertray
-Knock up a tray to hold the electronics and battery
-Extend main earth cable & earth out the subframe
-Make a catch for the seat unit lock
-Fit and bleed the brakes
So not too long now!
