VTR Project

Post by Flatline »

I thought it would be a good idea to start a new thread for the build of my new bike

I will be building this alongside the Ducati 750ss cafe racer project (which is now moving forward)

A quick recap for those of you that are new to the forum

We lost a member a while back, Benny

I was fortunate enough to get hold of a lot of his Vtr parts. Including the frame and engine

My intention was always to build another bike

Having managed to get my written of bike back from the insurers, I am now in a position to get on with it

Hence this thread

Hope you masked up all the threads or plugged them .
Powder coat ain't easy to clean off .
Looks good , I do like a black frame
