Nice TLR... what pipes you running?

I'm just back from Cape Town and Joburg.... Take your factor 50 and mozzie rep.... You'll need it ! If you get the chance, go see the penguins.... :-)

That's right... Lol... Forgot about that.. He was a complete pleb too !!!

After Donnington in May i decided I wanted a bike that didn't have £1,000's invested in it so a Track Slag or as Scott preferred to call it ...TrackStag was concepted... Since then a TLR was sourced and the build has been slowly progressing. Its going to be used for 2 things, being thrashed on the 1/4 and Track days... It's even gonna have a Daytime MOT. As you see it now it has a 6" extended double braced JMC arm... Pretty rare for a TLR as not many were made. I've been into twins for about 10 years now, oddly enough Scott (Katanamangler) and I went to collect my first TLR in 2007... Due to the bracing and hassles with chains etc I'm going to have 2 x complete backends, one for the Drag Strip and Shorter arm for track days. 4 bolts and it all comes apart... Long forwards to its shakedown at Santa pod in Feb... Where there's gonna be TL show down... Feel free to come along if you're local...

I've got a couple of nice bits. Decent rear suspension etc.

Yep... Got an R on It's way next month..!! Track Stag Project coming up soon...

well.... Still got this to add.... Are they EVER finished???

lol.... IS !!!

So this was the finished article!!!!

Twins are for winners... I've had 3 R's and 2S's in about every reincarnation possible. Trick them up a bit and they'll handle just fine. Don't believe all hype about the Widow-maker crap. Motors are not overly powerful but enough to get you in trouble. Currently running an S and i love it. Got 2 R track bikes I'm building ahead of next season. It's all about the torque... One you get one, you'll fall in love.

Ready.... Kind of !!!!

Took the bike to Poole Bike night this evening... Got my tyres scrubbed in ready for the weekend.. Unfortunately I picked up a fucking hitchhiker too

It's the MAG gathering in Salisbury this Sunday, so thought I'd sort out a seat unit of sorts to use while I'm waiting on my body work ti arrive... The plastics I have are a tad scabby Si time ti make them half decent. A few hours later and they've got a couple of coats of Satin Black !!! Fired the old girl up today too, to make sure everything was ok, the TLR clutch pushrod has some excessive wear so the interference fit is way out and the pushrod seal is weeping a tad... A new seal and rod is already on It's way ! Shakedown run tomorrow !!!

So.... One more step closer to completion. Just waiting on the carbon bodywork from Zero Limits... I'm beginning to flap now as it's still not even in the country as far as I'm aware... Don't really need it for blatting round Donny... But it would be nice !!!

So you're gonna put over 100 BHP through that swing arm, with more than 50% of it's integrity compromised. No amount of 6mm plate It's going to hold. Even all of the internal bracing in the world won't stop that from twisting up. It's gonna snap !!! My advice, junk it before it makes a mess of you....

It's on It's way.... Ouy kufc

I'm going to remove your testicals as you sleep !!! :-)

Pipes polished and fitted... Loving the TLR Swingarm... Dunno why Suzuki never offered this as an optional extra back in the day... It just works !!!

I had a mechanical drive on a set of Astralites in a Busa front end... I drilled 2 x 3mm holes in the wheel hub opposite one another around the bearing seat and drifted in two pieces of steel to drive the speedo... Think I cut down an Allen key if recall... Worked a treat !

Thought the pipes need a wee polish... Yoshi-fukkin-Mura baby !!!

just carbon mate..

Body work arrives next week hopefully...:)

Got a few bits finished... Running gear is now complete... Decided on Supercorsar's for Donnington, I know they're soft and won't last but it's a price I'm prepeared to pay... Just waiting on the body work to arrive from Japan and I'm good to go!!! Thoughts???

Wheels getting done this week... Candy blue !!!

Found a guy down in Dorset... Does race suspension. I'll post his details up when I find them. Was about £130 all in...
