Yep, it's a good idea. I'll look at setting it up *hopefully* over the weekend. Aloha and Happy Trails, Gary Gavin 98 Thunderbird Sport 02 Mini Cooper ...
Well, there ya go. I had been looking at Epco to built a complete replacement OE looking polished stainless set for my 98. I never contacted them. Guess I ...

The idea was burning me for a long time so I finally decided to get the TBS on a dyno. Very interesting result I must say. The graph is posted in the Photos...
Serge Thanks for posting. That's very smooth, except to the usually little blip around 2,500. 77 hp is what you'd expect from your mods. Puts the lie to the...
The 84 clain is at the crank. I think that all manufacturer give numbers at the crank. The blip at 2500 is really not a bother as I will only be there on...
Alec,Serge, We all know manufacturers have a tendancy to exaggerate either up or down to suit their needs but I am under the impression that Triumph claims...
Serge, I've posted the only copy of a dyno run I have for my Ascot, just so you can see that the higher hp is possible. I can't post it in your dyno folder...
Serge, yes it's the classic triple 885 engine from a 2000 Legend. It's got the high comp pistons, speed triple cams and ignitor box. I reckon 96 is not bad and...
Alec, 96 is more than respectable I think. I would be very happy to have that. With the torque available on the triple it just would be a very surprising...
A dealer of wrecked motocycles I talked to had a Trident 900 -1994 in stock. My question is if the cams, igniter, Mikuni carbs are the same parts as the "speed...
Anders Cams? Yes. Your 2003 Keihin carbs are better than the earlier Mikunis, so you wouldn't want to change. The ignitor probably has a different wiring...

In theory, these are straight forward modifications which shouldn't create problems, but I have certainly discovered otherwise on other projects before. I...
That's funny! I have heard that the Mikuni's are better than the Keihin's! But if you say so, I guess that I should forget the Mikuni's and save some money. ...
