We got a pretty good bike off ebay & stripped her down. This is the rebuild. So far, F1 Moto in Bowral did the engine New VHM heads Cougar Red valves New Nikasil bores New genuine Suzuki crank & rods New Wossner pistons. All the ports were matched & polished All new bearings & seals Tyga, s/s expansion chambers & mufflers. Tyga solo rear end Tyga step kit Tyga Carbon rear hugger Tyga full fairing Lucky Strike sticker set Pirrelli Diablo Rosso 2 tyres this week Forks rebuilt Dad started the put it back together today, More to come as she goes.
Can't wait for a ride. Expect around 65 to 70 hp The pilot comes off his P's in June so she has to be finished & registered by then! Getting the carbies right will be the big test, I'll worry about that one later.
Cush drive sprocket carrier done Tyres turned up, very quick from QLD. Only 3 months old too! Got all new bearings ready, she'll be rolling on the weekend.
A few more bits sandblasted, primed & 2 paked. Side coveres blasted & primed, got to pick a silver, theres a good Subaru colour I think will do Had to mask up the wheels & get some paint on the centres that I missed, more focus needed in the future. Doing this off the phone, funny if it works !
Pics are a bit ordinary, I'll try harder, I'll put the new glasses on. Anyway, had a burst of energy tonight & the side covers are done. Subaru Light Silver does it again, 2 pak solid.
A bit more progress this week. Engine has been all tightened up & squished. Fit the side covers on Saturday & in she goes.
Helped fit the engine today, all ready to wire up etc. He's got a lot to do but why not when your retired! Thoughts are drifting to the prep & fit of the fairings, big job.
Exhaust fitted, all good. Laid out the wiring loom, What a job & where will everything go now with the new single seat !! I got the old rear chassis out for a reference look & forgot how heavy it is compared to the new Tyga gear.
More progress, but only after lots of head scratching & studying the Tyga site instructions ! Anyway it does all fit, talk about compact. Tyga have done a great gob.
One step forward & 2 back, slow progress, waiting for parts to arrive, brake kits & pads, new set of levers, carby kits, ignition switch & fuel cap, throttle tube & grips. Carbies are back off now awaiting a full rebuild. Everything should be here by the end of the week. In the mean time the rear upper fits, just a minor tweak to get the oil tank lid to line up. Carbon hugger fitted perfectly. Got a near new speedo, 350 Km's, wonder what happened to that bike ! Replaced all the globes in the guages & dash, bit of a hunt & ended up with some LED's for the speedo & Tacho, T6.5 3w globes are hard to find.
