Re: VFR750/Storm crossbreed race bike project.

You can fit a full blade swing arm and wheel . Just need to remove 8mm from the inside face of the frame in order to get it to fit, but other than that it drops straight in and even the linkages etc bolt up without any problems (so I've read ) Unfortunately it's a different frame. Rc36 not rc24 May...

Re: Did you join this forum because your CCT failed?

I bought my vtr because it was cheap..... £700
I joined the forum to learn more about them. It was only then I learned of the cct problems. I have subsequently put manuals in and now it's my favourite bike.
I only wish the tank was as big as the vfr750 rc24 I have.
