    I have mounted alight and number plate now, it actually looks a little different than in the video below as I have adjusted the angles since taking the video but it shows the gist

    What are you getting done by them?

    I got myself a V7 last weekend, ended up with a Racer II. Will bring it along on the 19th.

    heya, am getting a hoop put on the subframe with a custom shorter seat that matches up with the hoop.

    The Racer is a beautiful bike! :)

    Look forward to seeing both you and the bike, I do like V7s. Have you kept the MV?

    Just keep it pinned and hope for the best!

    I enjoyed riding Pete’s V7 Stone before it went under the knife…

    Pete, did you have to do anything to adjust the fuelling on your V7 after swapping the pipes and air filter?
    Mine doesn’t like running without the baffles in the Mistral exhaust, looking at a Finebau 8 Jet Lite plug in module to adjust get it running right.
