    Yeah pretty nice design. Essentially CBR600F Hurricane. The one I sourced (for the VT250R project) from a 1988 CBR250R with a disc was really nice. 4.00 x 17.

    But lighter and wider than the Hurricane wheel. The front wheel they used on the 1990 VTR is the 1988 CBR250R wheel and disc.

    So, Sarah came to me and said,
    "Hey. It's Friday night. Is there anyway that you could make it so the compressor is running nearly non-stop?"


    "You know what honey. I love you so much. Make me an Espresso Martini and I can make that happen."

    Done

    Squirrel do you still need this? I found one that works great on my VTR250 but it required modification to the fuel knob to make it work,

    Exhaust, including rear down pipe, sandblasted and High Heat Cilica - Ceramic coated. I pre-cured everything, it makes handling and installation way nicer as it is more durable.

    Linkage serviced and shock installed. Everything looked great as expected with 16.5K miles. Ready for back end to go back together and flip this bitch around.
