Speedo error

Fitted a 15t front sprocket tonight and the bike feels more responsive in all the gears.Just need to try a gps from work on it to check how far out the speedo is.

Speed error

Thanks Ian

Fairing lowers

They look like the ones I have in my loft.A mate gave them to me and when I tried them I found them to be rubbing the engine casings on both sides.They where also a nightmare to fit,I had to trim them in a few places.But the worst was rounding the first decent large round about and the r/h side deck...

Thinking of splashing out on a Scotioler but wondering if they are really as good as they make out,and what are their down sides?Also any fitting tips would be apreciated.

CCT

Has any one with a later VTR (F2) had a problem with the CCT or does it only affect early bikes?

Fork or not to fork

Hi all
