Today, I've fitted the R6 rectifier to my new vtr, and marvelled in someone else's ability to pre-round exhaust clamps off for me. They were very kind in doing this, I wonder what else they've done for me? I poked the back end out (ooer missus) of the garage and it starts and runs ok, but I'm bugger...

Welcome welcome. Not been on long myself, have no advice, but am good at taking the p***! Is that helpful?

Welcome one and all. Give us some pics, we've been looking at the same 3 bikes for weeks!!

I sold my '98 Vtr last year, after only owning it for 6/7 months, various reasons didn't have a bike for a few months, then bought an RS Sprint off fleabay for £500 - manky, while it had character, being a triple, it wasn't the same, sold it in Oct and bought another Vtr last week. I've been brough...

It's special trumphonda paint, it's in all good stockists, next to the sky hooks and tartan paint section!

Sorry, I forgot to answer, yes it was the bike advertised in Devon, I'd looked at some right pieces of sh1t, so was pleasantly surprised with this one - work the drive.

Thanks for the welcome guys. sniff!! Rectifier I've just ordered, cct not yet, but before I ride it anywhere! Bigspanish, our house is in the south west, near-ish to Cahors / Figeac, so a couple of hours from the mountains. Lived there from '06 - 2010, biking roads and attitudes to it were v.good, s...

Très bon!

Cheers matey. I'll have a read.

Better being green with envy than blue with cold!

No, it's just a crap camera-phone!
Is there a link to swapping them over? I don't like doing engine stuff, but have no faith in shops doing it, after knackering up a zx9 for me a long time ago!

You reckon it's still better to do them then?

Used to live in Derby, know the cat fiddle well, before it had cameras and jellywopters on a Sunday! Not been up there for years - I imagine it's all 50mph too?

14,000 miles - I was suspicious, but all paperwork backs it up - so far.....! Just need to take off the hrc stickers and the 'orrible tank side 'things', more colour less crappy fake carbon. Last bike was this - http://i969.photobucket.com/albums/ae179/adzm124/Adz050511.jpg Which I sprayed into this...
