Already got that, and my own drawings with more modern geometry, fork, tyre sizes, though that was based on a TR1 engine. Doh. Edited March 26, 2017 by vizman 3 Quote
Gammaboy Posted October 24, 2016 Posted October 24, 2016 Be interested to see where you go with that... Quote
dupersunc Posted October 24, 2016 Posted October 24, 2016 It was a project from a few years back, supposed to be my interpretation of an Egli Vincent. I abandonded it when I realised the TR1 engine weighed more than a small block Chevy. Might have to dust off the jig when I've got the current projects under control. Quote
yann7/11r Posted October 25, 2016 Author Posted October 25, 2016 If your project idea was based on a twin, i keeped in my mind to try a modern Suzuki twin. (TL/TLR/SV ?) in the same kind of frame...some years ago. Quote
yann7/11r Posted March 26, 2017 Author Posted March 26, 2017 Hi all ! i've made some little adjustments on the bike during winter months. Target was to have some opportunities during summer for some track day with my friends. Unfortunately the majority from the targeted events were cancelled. Don't ask... Even if i've always try to maintain the bike, some work was necessary.I want to have something clean (not too much/without have to cry in case of scratched paint...) and i don't have lot of money to spend. So like alway..i've done it myself. Lot of the bike was (another time) dissassembled. Something you must know, is the fact that for a tappet adjustment you need to take the complete bike apart...due to the positionment of the spine frame, engine must be removed. For do that, you need to remove front fork, suspension and swingarm... and then only... with some good help, you can lift the frame with a savant move (cause it's very tight...) Same must be done for remontage.If i need to do that for a simple tappet adjustment, i take this "opportunities" for do the rest of the maintenance... This is the result. I've assembled this bike since more than a decade and half yet. Look always pleased to run. Something special is going to happen next month. The SRC. And as i say it here : http://oldskoolsuzuki.info/forums/index.php?/topic/4993-sunday-ride-classic-1516-april-le-castellet-france/#comment-55295 i will be there with my bike. Never rode on this track. Will be exciting, i think. Place is located 1200kms from home. So it's a sort of challenge cause Car/trailer/wife are all coming with me... 15 Quote
yann7/11r Posted April 30, 2017 Author Posted April 30, 2017 Finaly find a little time for send some pictures from the last event. If i can say...don't hesitate... GO SOUTH !!! In the last period, wheater in my usual aera (west France) is like a big dark cloud charged in water just able to drowned you each time you decided to have a run... Nothing to see with the sun we have during all the w-end. Of course, much better to feel confident with the tyres... 7 Quote
dupersunc Posted April 30, 2017 Posted April 30, 2017 Looks like a great event. Paul Ricard has to be one of my favourite places in the world. 1 Quote

The Bike perform much better than i actually can...Nothing to see with Mike "Spike" Edwards in term of job !!! Anyway that was not the target. If you're going on this kind of event with a mentality style "mine is bigger than yours"...all the chance are with you for having a very bad expérience... I'll try to be stronger next year. Better drive, better final demultiplication (1 or 2 teeths less ?) lighter bike (in road setup today) 1 Quote
Mar71n Posted August 23, 2017 Posted August 23, 2017 Is this event on every year & is it run by Club 11 R. Quote
