Cheers redpig, looking forward to seeing them finished off myself! Don't thinks Yorkshire's on the cards at the moment but will try and make some more southerly meetings....

Right Well I'm there! Just got my MOT this morning, been out for my first ride on the bike (F@*k me was it fun) It's all come together in the past 2 - 3 weeks really, still some bits to do bu nothing major.

So, put the indicators and mirrors and grips on:

Hid the horn in the headlight:

Image

3D printed some spacers for the seat (Because my hips we locking out at the stadard height....):

Image

Painted the sub frame and made up a battery tray:

Image

And a whole load of other bits later I've ended up with this:

Hello all been a long while since I've been on here but as this gs are afoot with this project I thought I'd stick up a little post....

Done a few bits on the bike like the front rad conversion bigger oil cooler and messed about with paint colours.

Image

Image

However the most interesting bits are still to come gonna be getting the bike properly sprayed (and this might be more controversial than yellow vtrs) it's gonna be turquoise! Excuse the poor photoshoping.

Image

It'll be getting a new headlight all new bracketry the sub frame will be re-done and all the parts will available as kits from the new company I'm starting called finely tuned hooligans. It's gonna be little while until its all up and running but will be a load of vtr goodies for sale.

Image

You can follow along on Instagram and facebook in the mean time....

Hello Duffy, yes indeed! Been testing this one out for a while now and seems to do a good job in conjunction with the bigger oil cooler.

There will also be kits for the:
Rear subframe / Ducatti tail
Headlight
Ignition relocation (to the side)
Flat handle bars
Speedo replacement
And a few others

As I mentioned above it's gonna be a little while until I've got it all together but if anyone is interested in any of these drop me a pm.

Good to hear from you again Ant :thumbup:
You've busy with your bike I see :clap:

Your turquoise colour you're planning reminds me of the Foggy Petronas bikes, I like it :thumbup:

I wish you well with your planned project "Finely Tuned Hooligans" 8)
