I made it, with the lobster cut method, nice and easy to do that way

thanks! here is a bit longer video

spent a couple of yours in the garage today...  still getting over the flu, so I have not been in there long...  but long enough to get it started!  It actually fired up almost straight away, which I was pleased about.  at first I didn't have a spark though....  Seems the kill switch now works backw...

Not much progress of late... I came down with the flu, and its absolutely knocked me sideways... getting there now though, but not quite recovered yet.... here is a 15 second clip of the throttle linkage

jchesshyre, thank you so much for that! will wire it in today!

anyone help with the colours as above? The wiring is coming on well, just a couple of minor circuits to do. I like this fuse box. one lead in, and all the fuses come off that, and it has a single earth point as well. All the ends are crimped and soldered… and covered with the glue lined heat shrink....

Hi guys, thanks for the wiring diagram... I can see there are three wires to it, but I am struggling to work out the position of each wire on the sensor. :confused from the diagram I assume red - variable resistance signal yellow / black - 5v supply from the ignition unit green - earth can on of you...

thanks guys

Any of you guys got a PDF or JPG of a wiring diagram for a VTR? I am specifically after where the wires which go on the throttle position sensor

I have been pondering how to switch the radiator fan on and off as I am no longer running with an ECU...

I would love to use an air box... but there is simply no room under the tank so I will used some bellmouths and foam filters...

Got the bike out today into the daylight for the first time in months... Have to say my Iphone takes great pictures! Next job is to start the wiring... its a job I actually love doing, making a loom from scratch. here is my collection of wire from meany years! there is some new stuff in there as wel...

the weather has been crap for a few days, so some garage time :D made some ends for the swinging arm as I didn't like the originals and they were marked... also made some new stainless bolts. may wheel it out the garage tomorrow https://jtccc.files.wordpress.com/2019/12/49209249626_f881773458_o-copy...

I know its a bit old school… just like me 😁 but I love the look of a mega on a bike… plan was to make a pair but I had trouble finding anyone here who could roll a cone, so I ended up modifying a couple of cheap stainless silencers I bought off Ebay. the removable baffles will satisfy the MOT man 😂a...

Yesterday I rebuilt all the hydraulics. I replaced the seals on the rear caliper as this was seized solid and I had to use some penetrating oil to free the pistons. The calipers came out nice... My bead blaster now gives a really nice finish, that with a coat of ACF-50 keeps its shine. I was never h...
