perfect! thanks guys

Any of you guys tell me where the large and small black pipe goes to on your VTR's?

well its back on its wheels... I am pleased at how the Multistrada footrest conversion has worked out, it brings the foot pegs forward quite a bit and should achieve the riding position I was looking for. Just about to rebuild the brakes... the fronts are fine and the pistons came out easily, but th...

I wanted to change the colour of the rear spring from yellow to red, and tidy up the shocker… which meant getting the spring off! its no easy task as its VERY strong. I drew up a couple of plates on CAD and sent the drawing to the laser cutter… few days later these came. made it an easy and safe job...

Engine installed in the frame! :D I cant think of any bike that is so simple to get the engine in the frame… I remember three of us struggling to get a Laverda 1000 lump in a freshly painted frame years ago, trying desperately not to mark the paint! https://jtccc.files.wordpress.com/2019/11/frame-on...

Wow you've certainly been a busy boy :clap: Yes polishing is a dirty job I agree, although it can be addictive I have found :wink: It's going to look like a brand new bike when you've finished. I hope you've not forgotten about the jewellery box for your wife :eh: Chris. I had time off while it wen...

Finished off the clamps and top yoke... and gave everything a polish... Polishing is a long, dirty, and quite dangerous job! I try to do everything at once as it makes a mess in the workshop! https://jtccc.files.wordpress.com/2019/03/33391376238_fe6f919109_o.jpg https://jtccc.files.wordpress.com/201...

well the engine is all back together… I am sure you guys will recognise the carbs! there wont be any updates for a while as I have to divert my attention to making a jewellery box for my wife for Christmas! https://jtccc.files.wordpress.com/2019/11/engine-111.jpg https://jtccc.files.wordpress.com/20...

the frame and wheels are back from the shot blasters...  another superb job by Redditch Shotblasters!  he really is a meticulous guy! he does a nice Ducati Red, and a matt gold very close to the original!

Start of putting the engine back together! I know its a risk but I have decided to go open belts, I just love the look... If anyone notices the weld on the engine stand, well I am truly ashamed... I have no excuse other than i was really down on gas, and had the wrong tip in the MIG welder :oops: A ...

thats a brilliant idea! wish I had though of that before i glued the piston in place

All finished... the sharp eyed guys will spot the VTR carb brackets which are now modified

I see a lot of builds spoilt by detail, and have been guilty of it myself in the past, in particular withe old plated parts... One thing I gave been meaning to do for a long time is have a go at DIY plating. Well I did some today and I have to say I am quite pleased with the results! I have used the...

Redditch shotblasting is local to me, but only found them this year so only had simple jobs done like rear spring and a jointing strap for my Aga! glad to hear they have such a good reputation, as the pricing is good too. Its a 60 mile round trip for me... but its worth it... :thumbup: over the yea...

Yes Chris, the powder coater is brilliant... he does all the bikes for the national motorcycle museum. he is meticulous! I take stuff in masked off, and he removes it and does it his way! Redditch Shotblasting if you ever need anything doing the painting came out rather well! just got to put it back...
