Quick update it’s all back together apart from plastic side panels, seat cowel, seat and tank, time to start her up. Unfortunately put fuel in carbs and it p###ed out of the connecting tube between the carbs, so carbs off and found o ring had gone hard and distorted 😡, so placed an order for new o rings and now we wait for the postman to deliver 🧐   |

Lovely work. A word to the wise. Get yer T Cut on the front mudguard and the headlight fairing. Just a chance some git will send the tank back buffed up...
No pressure.

Well the VT is finished and can I say a huge THANK YOU to Duffer for helping out with the bodywork, the tank has been sealed on the inside and clear coated on the the outside to give a good shine but still keeping the history and age of the bike. At a later date I asked Duffer to help again, as the fairing was broken, the job her completed is top notch and will last for sure, photos below.    |

From the first photos posted you may have noticed that I have not fitted the belly pan and air intake plastics which were a Honda authorised aftermarket part for styling. I prefer the bike without them. What are your thoughts?

I never had the extra bits on the VT I had, I like the belly pan, but not the radiator cowls. It's looking lovely  |
