Nice one man, I sold the Kaff to buy the VTR after my CB got a bang. I want another Kaff but thinking more along the lines of a CB750

Will have more pics of the build when I find the feckin camera, still waiting for the new gators to arrive too

[CB_Phil]

So got the camera & got her a road worthy (a little @ least) Fair bit left to do to sort the front like getting Giz to chop off the crap for the ignition
across the red line


So heres a bit of what I got up to




Gotta pull out the loom & separate the ignition & get rid of whats not needed






My fancy dan headlight bracket



Thinking of using this screen?



After I get the top yoke sorted the lamp will be mounter as high up as possible too

Oh & yes that is the ignition you see on the side

Starting to look good Phil. I like the back end especially. Can't wait to see the finished product. The VTR must be one of the hardest bikes to customise properly.
I am saving up for a riser kit like yours at the moment, love the bike but the wrists are taking a bit of a hammering.
P.S. if you are ever selling the rear fairing (plastic under seat) I might be interested , cheers.

[CB_Phil]

Cheers Charlie,
Gotta finish her bike & my work bench then hopefully getting @ the loom & looking @ finishing up the back end, back to work the end of the month (will be away for 3-4 months) so hope to get a good chunk done.
Bars that come w/it are real nice, but the lines are a little long but would allow you to play round w/wider bars ect.
Plastics for the bike wouldnt be top notch, but if & when I get rid your more than welcome to take a look & see if they suit. P&T Breakers in Cork have got one their breaking too. Where bouts are you?

I'm in Wicklow Phil, When the weather is good a Sunday spin can bring you almost anywhere in Ireland, small country.

Not too far @ all, Im in Lucan

[CB_Phil]

Bit of an update, sorted the front wring, got the top yoke sorted (Cheers Gizmo), pulled the undertray out & trying to figure all that out.
Painted part of the frame, all I did was paint the pollished section, wanted to try something different, but think Ill go & paint the lot















Before you say, yes the Becks was on sale, LOLz

[CB_Phil]

W/the date of me heading back out looming I was gettin lazy & considering using the stock undertry, so I cut the wombles in half! I will still use the battery box for now, well I still am a little lazy. LOL! Will knock one up down the line.
After that it will be sorting out the location for the ECU ect

[CB_Phil]

Fecking broke up! Sharpening Stainless Steel w/out a press isnt easy I tell ye! few awkward angles & planning that wasnt thought thru' enuf doesnt help, but getting there w/the back.
The following took bout 4hours!!!





Who needs a steel press???



me to be honest

& this is how I finished up for the day (really need light in the shed!)

[CB_Phil]

Few hours in the shed, messed w/the rear loom & where to put ECU ect (no ic of what I did there, but all under the riders seat around the battery), got a seat pan sorted (pretty much) & got the rear cover started







Threw the tank on to have an auld look

[vtwin goody]

good stuff m8,keep the pics coming

[CB_Phil]

Tight fit but should work




Got the rear rack mounted, Ill be able to open it for chucking crap in, just gotta sort the latch. Note the rivets are the right way, gona add more (where the black dots are, just to stop stuff sliding round when strapped on)




Took the subframe off to get ready for sraying



Not exactly the kitchen sink, but it is the side panels offa the dishwasher! Wanted to keep the frame on display, but w/her being an all weather machine I thought best to cover in so all electrics will be safe. Will look good when black anyway I think



Not sure bout the screen?
