Hi all;) just sayin hey,im a truck mechanic by trade,i have a zzr600 and a zx12r currently,and my friend has just given me a vtr track bike,which he took apart and ran out of interest and money to put it back together.
its a 99 bike and looks to be in good nick,the whole thing is there apart from missing a front end,which is impossible to find over here at the moment,so ill start with getting a manual first and see what gos where;) i thinks its got a jet kit and twin devil stubbies,my mate drove it before he took it apart and he said it was an aaaannnniiimmmallllll

welcome buddy, you can put an early blade front end on, straight swap i believe, and its better than the storms front end. loads of info on this forum, just ask some questions......

Welcome to the forum TT
It sounds like a good opportunity to fit a front end from a Fireblade, USD forks even

thanks guys
the thought of an upside down radial front end,has put a large smile on my face haha my friend sold on the front end for this bike,which more than likely was track spec,springs,bushes etc.i will indeed have a look and ask some questions.blade parts are far more available than vtr parts,so why not eh? im hoping to get it right around midsummer,looking forward to a blast in mondello

Whats the craic man, theres a free download of the manual on here in the workshop. Theres a lad outside Mondello who could help you w/ the front end Id say. Monostorm on here or 2strokie on Biker if your on there. Also a breakers in Cork P&T are breaking one @ the moment, might be worth a shot
