My VTR1000 Mods

[serlant]

Well since I Bought my VTR in april i've made a couple of mods.
First things were LED indicators and Chinese stubby Passo copies, Next on the list was a clear LED tail light.
I then got a pair of Pirelli angel St's (fantastic tires)
Then i got rear ended by a friend on a CBR400 while stopped a a zebra crossing, and so were bought a new set of pipes to replace the bent one caused by her impact. Danmoto Jisu exhausts.(sound fantastic but fall to bits)
Fitted a CBR600 front master cyclinder aswell as a braided rear brake hose so it now has stainless braided all round.
recently took the front fairing off to paint the headlight brace and though it looked pretty mean so I made up a some mounts for a set of Dominator headlights but vertically and some front indicator mounts
aswell as a little LED strip for the warning lights (neutral indicators oil and fuel).
New chain and sprockets as of tuesday 11/10 43 on the back 16 on the front.
I currently don't have a speedo (yes i know) but might well be getting a set of Koso digital clocks if i'm extremely lucky, if not i'll be putting a bicycle speedo on it.
How it looked when I bought it.

Whatever floats your boat, IMO that looks gopping. Purple anodising.

fucking its not purple! they are supposed to be red. I might just order some black ones. and its not finished, the mounts are all just going to be flat black including the LED bit and indicator mounts, i've just not got around to cleaning them up/painting them yet and red was the colour of whatever i cut them from.

I wonder how deep the anodising is, and wether i can just polish/sand paper it off and leave it silver for now.

fuel/warning light is on the led strip, its the right most one, I just used the led that was in the dash. I wouldn't say i'd gone overboard, and all the mods were just subtle until I removed the front fairing, and the way i see it its good for 2 reasons, if i drop it on ice over winter theres no chance of damaging the fairings, and 2 it gives me a change to get them painted, as they are pretty tatty in the origional pic, and now have several places where they are down to the white primer on both sides of the fairings.

Edit, and also i've not modified anything origional in any way so I could just remove the headlights and brackets and put the origionals on in under 30 minutes I reckon i'd be back to stock.

Too much ebay bolt on stuff for me. What is with the pink grips?


Why no clocks?

I had no speedo on my bike for a while and it was a real PITA.

[serlant]

levers grips indicators and tail light too much? and the grips were "advertised" as red i'll be ordering some different grips tomorrow.

They were free, so so far the headlights have cost me nothing as I made the headlight mounts and indis mounts out of scrap in the shed. the only thing that has cost me was the 4 LED's and a length of black wiring. anything red (led bit and indicator mounts) will be black and the rads I might also do black.

Big time needs Renthals!

Other than that, I quite like it. Side mounted rad looks a bit weird with no fairings. But it'd look a lot better with renthals.

Well.... progress has been slow. but on sunday it finally happened. I ordered a Cool N Comfy top yoke on the 29th of febuary and am less than empressed, as I ended up paying £220, and it still hasn't arrived.
All in all I've probably spend well over £800 on the front end (including the new tyres though) paid £220 for the set of pirelli diablo corsa rosso's (had angel St's on before and they were fantastic but never tried anything stickier)
the wheels cost me £30 pounds and they were painted with enamel paint. which is excellent. new tapered headrace bearings instead of balls. new bushes and seals in the forks. the tank and rear undertray/mudguard and front mudguard will go away to be painted gloss black. oh and almost forgot, probolt pretty much all around on the front end, bottom and top pinch bolts, aswell as caliper bolts.

Front end ready to go on.

Forks removed. could definatly do with a proper clean (this was taken after I power washed it)
https://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z170/serlant/20120318_175535.jpg

Cbr929 (as it turns out, they were advertised as 954 forks) front end on.
https://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z170/serlant/20120318_192602.jpg

Rear wheel (excuse my brake lever, after bending it back the first time got rear ended and couldn't be bothered to straighten it)
https://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z170/serlant/20120318_192613.jpg

pretty much finished (minus black front mudguard) and the top yoke! which will allow me to put some straight bars on it. also I paid £20 for the mudguard plus postage, and it is abolutely spotless minus a small back on the bottom near a mounting point.
