LSL Goodies

Purchased a set of these for the Bonnie, have to say the quality is nothing short of  outstanding, honestly the photos don't do them justice!

 

Thruxton Tank

Sale of the century this one! I could not believe my luck when I stumbled across this tank. It's a Brand new never fitted Thruxton tank mine for a measly sum so now my Bonny will have the proper tank badges instead of decals.

Barn Find ? Not Strictly

I can't claim that this is a barn find as it wasn't strictly lost! but I came across it in one of our storage places and the best type of deal was done, a bit of my time for a free project bike.
It's a 1989 ZXR750 H1, been laid up for several years, no keys, most of the plastics are fucked and there are a few bits missing from the brakes (more of this later) but apart from that its all there so the plan is to take the plugs out, put some oil down the bores and put a battery on it an see if it will turn over; from that I shall decide what to do with it.

Now in my hurry to get it off the van and into my garage this morning in the pouring rain I forgot that it has no brakes!!!! and we came flying down the ramp and landed in a heap at the bottom of it, now she has a bent clip-on and clutch lever but thankfully no other damage to the bike, but my ribs took a pounding.

Nice Triton

Can't remember where I found this but I believe it's in Australia, would look nicer in my drive way though!

2 Stroke Porn

This would put hairs on your chest

 

Shimmed

Tiger with her top off! shims all checked and wall within tolerance except one of the exhaust shims on number three which was two thou out, so one shim changed and that's her good for another 12000 miles. I was really surprised when I took the rocker cover off to find the cams in excellent condition with barely any sign of wear, this engine is showing 40,000 miles and should easily do another.

Three nice new shiny IACV hoses on display

Ready for the road

Triumph update

Fitted this dress up kit that I got from TEC Triumph, was surprised when I took my clutch cable off to find it was full of water, the original rubber tit doesn't let water out the cable!

This is how I found the idle air control piping when I removed the tank, I have fitted new valve but I have had to order new pipes; the bike is running a lot smoother now and I finally got the brakes working how they should even the back one although I cant change the pads in it, so I will have to look out for a good second hand Calliope in the near future.
