Classic TT Build - She Lives!

Got an update from RedMax Steve on the engine build on Saturday. All assembled, cam timing done, installed and hey-presto! She Lives!

Here are some pics Steve has posted...

Beautiful!

 
Engine in...

...and hooked up.

 Got some carbon cans... link pipes need trimming...
 
More on these carbon lovelies to come!

It'll go something like that...

Getting there... but the biggest parts are now done...
 
That old lead-acid battery has to go...
Even though it is period correct, rules are free on batteries... and skrootineers prefer non liquid carrying batteries.

At the end of the album is a sound clip of that 888 desmo Quattro (I couldn't figure out how to download it). Superb!

I still find it brilliant how someone can strip down an engine to every nut, bolt and washer... then rebuild it... hit the start button and it fires right up. Steve... you da man!

I've still got quite a bit to do on her and the closest dyno time Steve could get for the tuning is next week. So I'm going to fetch her from the RedMax Speed Shop later this week so that I can get her sorted this weekend and hopefully take her for a few test runs :-)

Classic TT Build - Engine Assembly

RedMax Steve got the balanced crank back and started the assembly and posted some brilliant update pics on flickr. This is where I have no idea what's going on in the pics other than it looks damn cool, seriously complicated and old skool hi-tech.











These pics are mesmerising. Loads more on RedMax Steve's flickr album of the build.

TZ750 Classic Race bike

My friend Steve has just about finished rebuilding a TZ750 classic race bike... unfortunately he's out of cash and has to sell it :-(
