Haven't had chance to try them as I'm now in Valencia ready for work this week.

OMG its not a "Honda" looks peachy though.

Just came from a 110 miles night ride, all back wood roads, some hair pins as well, didn't hit any dear , but I did see a coyote crossing the road, I just love the VTR... so much fun!!!
BTW, for this type of ride in a fast pace, I do use HID projector light and auxiliary led lights. In the woods you can't see sh1t without it.

What do you guys do to deter the Deer as the light wont make any difference to them.

15 of us had a night ride around London over the weekend there was a lot of animals around the West End and in the City. We even saw some piglits

(:-})

Finally took the Yoshi's to track electronics and fitted them. He says hopefully ill have it back for Thursday, but as its now the lead up to the TT and some of their bikes are in it they are pushed for time. So hopefully we will be re-united this week

On that wee bit he snapped, he had replaced it with original parts, he had all the wee bags and what not to show and it looked shiny and new on the carbs. Cost £42 though :shock:

42 quid for the carb choke cable screws! Did he charge you that for him braking them? GLSR brass or titanium ones are a fraction of that price!

He's covering the cost. I suppose it could be lost in the bill.

Lifes to short to be angry ;-)

here it is with a bit of a clean, no wax on it tho

i think i much prefer it to the carbon now. going to get some blue wrap and detail it so it blends in and looks like factory fitted (hopefully)

If / When i get the wheels done white i will put the carbon one back on as it will be too much white otherwise

Not what I wanted it to look like in the "end of the rebuild" but put the last few bits on this morning and booking it in for it's MOT next week so I can at least get a summer out of it!

Very nice gl . That would of looked good in your first choice of colour ! Sorry .

Still no sign of any forks for the hornet... -.- So nothing. it's suspended in the garage with no plans to ever change at the moment. 48hr delivery my butt. Been a whole week now! It's so tempting to just stick the VTR on Third Party... It really, really is.

Looks stunning GL. Cant help notice notici g the MCT stickers on the forks, had mine set up there. Are you east anglia way, lad?
