Trumpnut Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Most of the project was done before the 2013 E.D.R. but now I have to repair the jammed forks thanks to the shipping company and make it compliant. Cheers 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris.QCR Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Awesome mate ! That tank is nice. Did ya complete EDR? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trumpnut Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 Did the first EDR in 06 on my BSA A10 then the same bike again in 07 and 08. Missed the 2011 one because I could not get time off work. This one did the last EDR and Born Free. The Tank was painted by my wife for my birthday right before the EDR. She hand made the Leather bump stop seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trumpnut Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share Posted June 27, 2015 I was able to repair the fork tube so that was good but the motor was smoking to bad to pass. I was unable to find the correct piston rings so I found som for the correct bore size and remachined the pistons to hold them. I also machined the valve guides to run seals. I just see time ticking away and I plan on riding to the Burt Munro Challenge in Nov. Riding down the South Island by myself. That makes me really want to finish this soon so I have time to work out any bugs before I leave. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trumpnut Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share Posted June 27, 2015 I plan to stop in ChCh on the way down. I want to see Smash Palace if they are still open then. It would be cool to meet up. I would like to check out your bike in person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trumpnut Posted April 25, 2016 Author Share Posted April 25, 2016 Well I didn't make it to Burt Munro but I have been riding the piss out of it. Last month while riding back from Lake Ferry I had a bad "ping" that I could not tune out with the manual timing advance. So when I got home I pulled the primary and set up a Deg. wheel to check timing. Glad I did because I found the primary chain master link was missing half of it and three of the chain rollers where broken off. Installed a new chain and reset the timing to 32 deg fully advanced. Well see next weekend if it made those noises go away. Once this is worked out I can fix my car 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
