XLSR-VTR1

Ive been away due to working out of town, I just got back and now have access to my pics... so thought Id share.

This is from Mt Baker ski area. Hope it works...

This is my avitar. Dont ride the bike on the track anymore, have a TLR for that. It has suspension, cams, brake lines, fork brace, slipons, pair valve, and other stuff I forgot....

This is it now with the powder coated wheels, I left the edges bare for changing my own tires.

Like the rims.

Thanks!

I guess I could share the track bike too, its a TLR...

Blue Ridge Boy

Good lookin' track bike as well.

btw---i like how u just left the edges...ive always wanted to see some rims done like that, and I have to say...they look damn good

XLSR-VTR1

Yeah I took the bike in for its first set of tires and the kid running the tire machine didnt clamp the rim tight or correctly, and buggered up the edge pretty good, so since Ive changed my own tires and thought leaving the edge bare would save having to use plastic or rubber to guard the edge from the tire irons, works great. Just used some automotive pin stripe to dress the taped edge of the powder coating.

A good look. Different...that's why I like it.

Thanks for sharing, both cool bikes. How do you like the TLR?

XLSR-VTR1

I like it more than the VTR on the track, after spending 4k+ on upgrades and watching a couple buddies crash their street bikes on the track I opted to retire it and hence the Tiller. Its better on the track, better brakes, handling, I did put a Penski on the back and had the fork oil changed, Oh and more power. The Tiller is track only so I dont know how it would feel on the street. At the seattle track Ive turned a 1:36 with it which isnt bad for that bike. Its only downside is its weight, its heavy.
Surprised no one noticed the Moriwaki pipes though... had to weld them on to fit.
