Hi all here is a few pics of my re=built vrt.......got this from a guy in lincoln and was in a wright old state, so after the ride back home to Deal had a good look at it and thought I can't ride around on this so it got pulled apart, all panels re-sprayed in the correct paint with outhe part of wheels polished, forks re-built with ohlins springs, sp1 calipers with cbr 600rr master cylinder(now stops better than my son's R1) larger rear sprocket scott oiler goodridge hoses back and front and clutch line too, paddock stand bobbins, also rose jointed and stainless rod on the gear linkage, on the engine manuel cct's new oil and filter dyna jet kit piper cross air filter ported head and bt016 tyres very pleased with the ride but will do something with the rear shock soon but not going the usual route, will let you know whats fitted soon.....

Where abouts in Lincoln did you find that? I've never seen it about before and I used to be out on mine all the time before I stripped it.

Sounds like you've done real well with the mods already too

Even more reason to do a swapsie with me lol

Nice bike. Did you weld them there brackets on the swinging arm for the bobbins?

Hi yes the bobbins are welded on, as I replaced the swinging arm I thought it was a good time to do it, and I,ve already done something with the indicators it seems to be a problem with the high levels fitted, the person I got it from worked at the Renault dealers in lincoln, he was a real ass and refused to pass on the mot ticket until I got some help from the old bill, they told him they would charge him with withholding a legal document, next day it was on my door step delivered by hand lol.............

Bike looke good! What year of brake master cylinder did you use? Was it an easy exchange?

Thanks !

HI, the master cylinder is from a 2005 bike and was a straight swap and has made a world of differance.....

I live not far from that dealership, I actually drive past it everyday on the way to work.....never saw your bike though, he must have been one of them that was scared of gettin it wet?? The guy sounds like a bit of a Richard as far as the MOT cert goes too!

Well done on the mods tho, seems like your enjoying it!
