Her she is

Post by Mauser5826 »

Pic of the bike as stated got some work to do and checks to carry out turning into street fighter type nothing over the top it’s mainly for riding style now. Want to keep the colour as is for now but going to get the wheels rubbed down and re- sprayed as I work were painting is carried out so won’t be a hassle to get them done. I’m open to suggestions on colour scheme for the wheels the graphics are in yellow so I suppose it has to be something that goes with it and obv the black not sure if total yellow would be good? Anyway open to ideas on any part of the bike also any tips on what is worth doing why I’m going to town even if it doesn’t seem obv to do now. She has done around 24 thou

Cheers guys :D

Which will induct you to all of the VTR's foibles and best solutions inc. CCTs R/R etc. for reliability...

White goes well with Yellow Or Black. Depends whether you want a honey bea or flower power. You could even go Silver and call it Stanley then.

She should come out ok once I've finished with her, just hope there is nothing mechanically wrong as the last time it was taken out it wouldn't select third gear. I know a few things I can look at first which I'm in the process of doing and so far things check out so fingers crossed. It selects all gears while not on load but want to give it a thorougher going over before I start on the other stuff.

Ill keep an update going then hopefully any helpful tips and hints off you guys will get me through .
