Many thanks for the help I've received and drawn from this forum. The vtr was my first vee twin and she had such an impact that maybe ...

"Don't they explode all the time & fuel tank like a fizzy?"

VTR's, quite misunderstood at times. Had an interesting chat with a bike mad customer about VTR's and he commented on how they are "a grenade with the pin pulled" regarding CTT's. I did comment that there are more out there that haven't self destructed yet, yes its prudent to do, that a pa...

More CCT pink spots....any definitive answers

I've done a search on this and there seem to be conflicting views, just wondering if any further news on the subject of colours on the CCT spots?
