Post by: JC on January 23, 2009, 10:02:45 am: H'shot,

Are they correct length shocks on the VA125? Looks a bit low in the rear end.

Got RHS pic of the VR?
Title: Re: cappra 250 vr project
Post by: firko on January 23, 2009, 10:14:01 am: If they are too short Rusty, I've got a set of OEM Telescos to suit that I'll swap ya for a bottle of unleaded Bundy .

Post by: albrid-3 on January 23, 2009, 10:30:43 pm: SORRY, YOUR MONTESA VR IS A BITZER, WOULD YOU LIKE SOME HELP TO LOOK FOR GENUINE PARTS.
Title: Re: cappra 250 vr project
Post by: holeshot buddy on January 23, 2009, 10:39:12 pm: how do you mean ???
Title: Re: cappra 250 vr project
Post by: Freakshow on January 24, 2009, 12:13:25 am: its a 75 seat and should have aorange and blue strip tank ? am i close
Title: Re: cappra 250 vr project
Post by: albrid-3 on January 24, 2009, 08:56:25 am: THE SEAT IS WRONG, GUARDS NEED TO BE BLACK OR OPAQUE, PIPE IS WRONG, OTHERWISE YOU WILL HAVE A NICE BIKE, THEY ARE A GREAT BIKE TO RACE AND VERY FAST. SIDE PANELS ARE WRONG TOO.
Title: Re: cappra 250 vr project
Post by: bigk on January 24, 2009, 09:10:20 am: The core of the bike is probably correct and it's a tad unfair to call her a "bitza" Dave. We all have different tastes and whoever did the plastics/seat etc, may just have liked it like that. Post the frame & engine numbers Russ, and we will all know for sure.
I may be able to help with gearbox parts if you find you need some.
Cheers,
K

Post by: mx250 on January 24, 2009, 09:37:11 am: Hmmmmmmm

Red, white or black :P.

I don't think there is much between them; personal preference ;). The Monty is a pretty, nicely proportioned MX'er.

It'll be great to see your's when it's fully detailed Holy 8) ;D.

Title: Re: cappra 250 vr project
Post by: albrid-3 on January 24, 2009, 09:44:02 am: Hi Russ, sorry , just trying to help, l don`t have the right words to say at times, but l have a good heart and very genuine and passionate about this era willing to help where l can.just like to point out what is genuine and parts that arn`t . l have owned 4 vr in my time, race them back in 1974, started racing in 1972 on the 125 gray tank, my brother raced the gray tank sidepipe and he still ownes it, my other brother raced the 360 1969 model. so l have been around these bikes for a long time, Gary o`brien ( Lyall O`brien was the importer for montese here in Geelong. VR are truely a very good bike, the exhaust nut on the barrel must be tight when the engine is cold then start the engine, when it is hot stop the engine and then tighten it up again. They bcan work loose, then if that happen it can strip the thread. But at the end of the day as long as your happy with your bike and your out their having fun with this sport every thing else doesn`t matter.
regards
david

Title: Re: cappra 250 vr project
Post by: holeshot buddy on January 24, 2009, 12:28:44 pm: i am not too worried about seat and guard colour
i like it that way 8)
and the pipe is a very good handmade race pipe
the screw thread in barrell is tight and lockwired
it has a slip on exhaust pipe held on with springs
works perfect, the core of the bike is genuine
and remember this is a race bike not a glamour
i used to race montys for lyall back in late 70s and early eightys
i have owned about eight and raced them all
they are a good bike with a great engine so i know my way around them a bit :o
i will be racing my montesas at the nationals
and also riding at cd6
i like too see them out there on the track
instead of sitting around in sheds
plus i ride to win thats another reason i want to ride my vr ;)

thanks K i will let you know ;D
