    Looks bloody amazing dude, way better than the original NV400.

    The inboard disc was a pig on my VT250, it work alright for you?

    Yep 1983 vt500E - a bloody horrible bike with
    a cool engine! twin spark-hydraulic tappets, liquid cooled, six speed, shaft drive - they were pretty cool in their day.

    I gave it one of those trick Vapour multifunction dash panels so I can even check the abient air temp as I check my highest speed during my elapsed trip time.....

    The shaft drive is primo- no adjustment or oily splashes on the rear rim. but yes, the man who invented the 'inboard front disc' should be shot with a ball of his own shit! it is good for about two downhill corners then its just a funny smell when you squeeze the lever...
    Retired- just some guy with a few bikes......
