Quick Video of it running. Cans are no off to be repacked so the finished article will be a lot quieter.

No there's a few little bits that need doing to get it on the road, however I am going to ohlinize the forks as I'll never be happy otherwise. It really really WILL be completed in time for this years May Day run to Hastings.

Might even get a the RGV's done at the same time as the fork seals on that have gone.

You might be getting a few sets to take apart as Tony was talking of getting his done as well now.

It would never pass a track day noise test though. They're being repacked at the moment. Should still retain a similar sound but just a tad quieter.

Sad to say My VFR is no longer mine and is at it's new home in Southport. It was a cracking little bike and I loved every ride I had on it.

But when one bike leaves the garage another one isn't that far behind and this little beauty will be arriving next week.

Got some nice things planned for this one. I have brand new original bodywork and a mint original pipe so I was thinking of popping those on and selling on the pipe (anyone know what it is? I have an idea but not 100% until I see it) and the bodywork. Maybe powder coating the wheels white. Maxton shock and a Rick O fork upgrade. Other than that leave it as it is.

Looks to be an ethos system, possibly a yamamoto muffler?
