AB-Oz Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 I believe it was advertised here in the classifieds, RoY snapped it up, and it arrived down here a couple of weeks ago.... Quote

Lionel Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 does anybody know if similar mods can be done on VFR 1200 STANDARD AND AUTO Quote
The Phantom Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 No-one has developed such a kit for the V12, no. Quote

It wouldn't be rocket science to reverse-engineer what A&A did and assemble a new kit of parts doing pretty much the same thing, but neither would it be "cheap". Ethically, once he abandoned the market, he can't really blame people for thinking about resorting to "self-help". Unfortunately, I didn't measure anything before I installed mine, so I'd have to remove it from the bike to do that. If only someone with mad engineering and fabrication skills had had such a kit in his hands for an extended period of time before installing it... Ciao, JZH 2 Quote

A new 5th gen kit would have the same issues I worked through on mine re: oil reservoir location and re-plumbing the Rotrex oil supply with an oil cooler. 3 Quote

Member Contributer Mohawk Posted May 21, 2023 Member Contributer Posted May 21, 2023 I never knew JZH had a Toro kitted 5th gen. R U still in UK ? Where's the bike ? Quote
Member Contributer JZH Posted May 28, 2023 Member Contributer Posted May 28, 2023 I was going to refer you the my build thread "Beware the Yellow Peril", but it's so old it seems to have vanished... Yes, I still have it, but it is on my yellow bike in California, but I'm seriously thinking of moving it to Europe soon. If so, I will definitely be discussing some oiling system modifications with Seb! Ciao, JZH [Found the thread, thanks to Google! ] 2 Quote
Member Contributer vfrcapn Posted May 29, 2023 Member Contributer Posted May 29, 2023 It should stay in California, too much $ to ship over. Happy to help, can drive down and pick up, got cash. 1 Quote
