aaaaahhh pet i owe you a big hug


well i dropped the wheels of to get powder coated this morn...lets say you wont miss them on a dark night lol

busy day. time to get this wagon ready again for the road.

front brakes back on.
pipes finished at last
seat sorted for the 10th time
new set of metz M3 something or others fitted

and a change of wheel colour. well go bright or go home lol























oil and filter change sorted. just all the little fiddly bits to tidy up now

What's that purple fluffy thing hiding You coud do with making up a bracket for the can by the rearset simply for aesthetic reasons. Orange wheels look good. That will be the rising Sun

Looking really smart Fab, love the exhaust

If my exhaust is louder than those wheels I'll be very surprised

eagle eyed carl .. i thought id get away with that lol..

@vara... yeah its my nod to wearing dayglo

Wow they're bright, they look good though

Chris.

ok boys, it will never be finished...? well it is as far as i can do no more..

iv still to get the front guard fitted and reshape the pegs hangers but its as done as i want it.. first impression was, whys my clutch just let go

so new plates and springs from mr mon sorted that.. its completely different bike to ride. the subframe,forks ,pipes and ecu have transformed it,, it seems to pick up revs from down low a lot better and by pure luck the jetting is spot on, no flat spots just twist and go.. handling wise it seems shorter, it actaully feels a lot smaller then the sum of the parts,,

so here is what has taken 15 months and a lot of planning and ducking and diving to get the bits and some great advice and help from folks on here..



















iv tried to be faithful to what it looked like years ago or at least my version of what that is... i love it, i wouldnt do it again but i love it.

it was worth it for the sound alone from the pipes, the pops and bangs made me grin like a kid

Looking splendid

Only thing that looks odd to my eye is the rear seat cowl which appears much too butt up compared to all the other Moriwaki VTRs.

Wicky you will have him tearing it apart again

mmmmm now you mention it lol... it looks a lot higher in the pictures than in real life, plus with the way i have it mounted i can lower the tail of it up or down by 50mm

Somefolk go for an exaggerated botty up look (Bosozoku bikes + street fighters). Good to hear there's a range of adjustment to play with.
