New Rad To Chill

 Whilst I was on with putting the motor back together I decided that I would replace the piggyback radiator I had previously fitted and look to an alternative bigger raditor. The results of which you can see in the pictures. The radiator is approx double the size of the original but did need some fettling to get it to fit, with the airduct and frame posing a little problem. This was solved by offsetting the rad to the left by one inch, problem solved.
Next job will be to go track test the bike to make sure everything is hunky dory.

Following the track test the bike is up for sale ready to fund the purchase of baby items as our child is due on the 1st Jan.

How Good Are Standard Bikes

I have been having a think today about how good the current crop of bikes are as standard. And this got me to thinking, how would they perform in races against the usual racing machines that have uprated suspension, brakes and engines etc. My next thought turned to what bike would you choose and what series would it be in. And my conclusion was a Triumph Speed or Street Triple in the ThundersportGB Streetfighter class. I know it would be somewhat of a challenge but I would like to see if standard bike (less lights etc due to rules) could cut it in these types of races. I am convinced these bikes could win in standard spec. What does anyone else think?

Now I just have to convince Triumph to provide me with a bike to prove the theory:-)

Off With Your Head!

 I had a spare hour last night so took the head off the bike ready to replace the head gasket. Not too bad a job really as you can do it with the engine in situ. I also modified the subframe a little to lower it very slightly as it was a little too high on the initial test. All is sorted now!
