Re: Fun With Rattle Cans & Sticky Backed Vinyl

Very nice looking bike and I noticed this as I'm in the process of doing something similar albeit a bit different. 854062D9-CF95-4941-BF9B-B1B27B14A9B1.png Did you do this yourself with the peg delete or was it purchased like this.

Fun With Rattle Cans & Sticky Backed Vinyl

Number board, front mudguard and exhaust cowl repainted. Oh, and an excellent carbon fibre hugger fitted. https://i.postimg.cc/DmXjvVP9/DSCF3637.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/cvsXBvGW/DSCF3638aa.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/NKzm2Fgp/DSCF3643.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/gxQ4FN6z/DSCF3644bbb.jpg https://i.postimg...

Toyota make several V6’s. Lexus is Toyota’s luxury brand. The engine in my car came from a Lexus RX300 SUV hooked up to the MR2 5 speed gearbox retro fitted with a higher 5th gear. Original suspension has been replaced with fully adjustable BC BR coil overs.

New Today

Hi VTR1000 number 3 should be with me by the end of the week. A stock 2001bike in red.
