Good work on the 1VJ, I don't like those aftermarket fairings either...

Nice bike collection.... :drool:

I've always hankered after a TDR, would like to fit a 350 YPVS engine into one..... future project maybe... :evil:
The future is not what it used to be....

The TDR is really nice. Very uncommon bike (at least here in Spain).


I saw another stilmotor fairing. Yours look muuuuuch better!

Re: Next step

Post by Tim »

Thanks guys :nannawave:

So, on to the next stage.

I took off the carrier and grit blasted it, it came up pretty well.

Image

Then primer.......

Image

...and paint

Image

I managed to mask up the original sticker

Image

Then it was back on the bike with a pair of new indicators, a better tail piece from my stash of 1vj bits and a new black light surround for it.

Image

Before..........
Image

and after
Image

much better :funkynanna:

Incidentally, I picked this up on E-Bay a few months ago, haven't seen one before, anyone else?

Image

The tank bag expands

Image

and has the :tenere: logo

Image

Image

The tank panniers are a decent size

Image

Image

The zip off so that the tank bag can be used on its own, or the tank bag zips off so that the panniers can also be used on their own

Image

That's it for now, next job is the back mudguard :oilleak:

Hi Tim, nice job!
There is a similar bag on Ebay.de right now.
Maybe somebody gets inspired and wants one. :drool:

Nice selection of bikes there Tim, do like the TDRs but prices are rising all the time.

Link to a 1vj parts list if you need it took me ages to find it :lol: Cheers bopster
