Flippin' motorbikes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this looks like a good spot.................................
-
So after a days ignoring it and hoping it will fix itself when I'm not looking, I fired it up again, and yes its still smoking........Arse......
so time to pull the whole fekin thing apart again and refit the bog standard b12 engine.
I'm sure the engines in this harris are jinxed.
I'm just off to find a wall to bang my head against
-
Or is it a b12 cover as they have a rubber chain slider bolted underneath the breather box which the 1100's don't have which would make it sit proud

Well I finally got it all back together and fired up today, and fek my old boots, its still smoking!!!
Not much at all now, but still more than it should. Bastard thing, this will teach me never to ignore my own advice and not do things on the cheap.... Bugger,,, I might just throw the whole thing in the canal and buy a jetski
So what to do now, refit the standard b12 engine, spend a pile of cash on new 81mm pistons and rings or stick the flowed head on the b12 engine and see what that dose. fekin' motorbikes!!! I'm grumpy now and going to the pub............................................

That was lucky it was the starter gears, my red race bike did that at Donnington, going under the Dunlop bridge in a sound of thunder race in 2005, as I changed down from 6th to 5th there was a big bang and the rear wheel locked solid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
huge skid marks, in me pants and on the track, turned out one of the engagement dogs fell off of the back of 5th gear and got jammed... cost a fortune to fix and that was using second hand gearbox bits!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I do like TL's, thats why I bought the orange one ( my 3rd) , it was a Eblag late night come home from pub just have one bid to see what the reserve is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I won!!! it wasent bad but lots of bits missing non running project... poor bloke had just had it painted then got made redundant so had to flog it half done... Tried to sell it once it was running but couldn't flog it so swopped it for a bandit 1200 and sold that

hard to get leathers for a 15 year old kid growing an inch per day so went safe!
how tall is he???
-
don't forgat slingy fronts are the same as b12 ones, the 17 inchers anyway, spindles and speedo drives as well, and discs are 2mm different offset??
-
I don't suppose you know which one would be best to use in a set of TL forks?
neither fit straight in, but I did a post a while ago about making spacers to fit a b12 into srad 750 forks which fit the same

The gear on the clutch basket is 37 teeth on the small cog that drives the oil pump and 66 in the bigger one that drives the alternator
-
1989 1100k alternator gear 22730-06B03 gear drive generator ( NT 28)
So 28 teeth....

This is my tl 97 with a R1 shock. It is broken at thr moment as well. But chief mechanic Derek will be fixing it soon. Had it two days thought I would clean it only to find pearlescent white wheels what I thought where silver.
I did that..
whats broke on it?/ I swopped it 3 years ago for a 1200 bandit...
anyway you don't just need to ride one, you need to race one, now that's fun

The triumph thunderbird hub is £250 with no discs or anything, so with discs and vat its well ovef £400, i got the complete twin disc thunderbird front for £295 from Eblag, i made all the spacers a d fitted non standard hond* wheel bearings to fit theR1 spindle, vfr discs were £80ish.? The rear was the really expensive bit, Doug at devon wheels built it, loverly job

Loving the spokes, just tried to PM you about an alternative, but rules say No.
Has anybody else spotted this.

What's the story on the Talon Hubs then, I want to hang one in the back of a project that I'm working on. How is it for cush drive?
No idea bout talon hubs apart from they are fookin' expensive, a twin disc hub was nearly £400 on its own!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! those ISR hubs are 8,880 Swedish kroner for a rear with cush drive, I think that's £870 pounds But I could be wrong.... thsi is why I used triumph wheels much cheaper but still expensive

Shiney pipes
I had trouble with the small carbon can and the noise tests at cadwell, so I got a scuffed 50mm can off of e**y and chopped it down, fake Yoshi badge and Voila
much easier to baffle and keep quite for the tests.

Mines first reg october 1983 and says magnum 2 on th v5. And the frame number is HP with a 3 didgit number in the mid 480's
-
Only time ive been successful doing this was with a small left handed drill...as it cut in it bit and it whizzed out
-
My mag 2, I couldn't find a frame number either until I scraped all the old paint off the head stock and there it was, HP and 3 digits looked like a 3 year old had stamped it!!!!!!
once it was powder coated I couldn't read it so I got an ally plate with it stamped on and fixed it on..
I was told the mark 1's don't have the 2 fairing fixings on the bottom rail on the side, and mark 2's do..

Get linear springs of the correct rate for your weight, m6ch better than progressive ones, not sure if anyother internals fit though

GSF1200 Pistons (Pre 2001 vs. Post 2001) ?
in Oil Cooled
Posted
in 2000/2001 when the mark 2 came out they had modified pistons to improve the oil cooling. in some bikes the consumption was deemed excesive, so there was a mod to the pistons, the later ones after vin 22102179, were fited with differant pistons, the older ones ars no longer available
