Hello All,
Thought i'd join a forum to help me with my VTR's upgrades and mods. And also try at get to know a few more people in West Yorkshire.
About me.
Married Farther of 4.
44 years young.
Engineer and maker of stuff.
I bought my bike as is in 1998 from a good friend of mine. after not riding it for 7 years or so (kids family get in the way), it got re comitioned 2 years ago and ive been re descovering how much fun it is ever since!
Its had a lot of things done to it.
every nut and bolt is Ti
rear sets
acropovic full system
carbs, dynojetted and dyno tuned, and i think the motor has been gone through as its making 112hp at the wheel
ohins front inserts and rear shock with adjustable pre load
diferent front and rear sprockets
Steering damper
and probably a load more stuff i dont know about!
anyway, hope to get to know a few of you and maybe enjoy a ride out or two.
Martin

welcome along Martin. you will find this a very welcoming forum.... best thing you can do is get rid of the exhaust system and rear shock. they are rubbish and being the member i am . il take them of your hands.
no no. no need to thank me lmao
