I got to be done by April

by **bonnevillebilly** » Wed Jan 16, 2008 9:55 pm

I gutted out the TOR's that are on her about 2 years ago. I pulled the restrictor plate
and snorkel and put the K&N filter in the shock air box at the some time and re jeted.
It felt and sounded like a whole different bike.
My pipes are LOUD ! ! !
I already ripped out the stock air box and I will be putting on the K&N pod filters
and replacing the main jets with .150mm the stock mains were .110mm
I so can't wait to hear and feel her when I'm done.

Billy don't forget to have her home before 6pm and have your ass parked on the couch in front of the Big Screen to watch the NY Football Giants take on GB in the Field of Cheese!

That's a God Dam thing of Beauty Billy! What kind of carbs you got there?

by **bennybmn** » Sun Jan 20, 2008 1:01 pm

Looks like stock carbs...

What's the red thing behind/below the pods? Air horn?

by **bonnevillebilly** » Sun Jan 20, 2008 6:39 pm

They are stock carbs with 150 mains but I will be changing them to 154
42 pilots and drilled out slides so I guess there not quit stock.
Yes the red things are air horns duel horns 138 db.
It sure felt good bringing her back to life. she fired right up after 3 heat cycles I had
to take her out , she sounds and feels strong beside the fact it is DAMMMM COLD out
I have not really let her rip yet because she is not broke in yet.
A couple more heat cycles and a few more miles then I will let rip.
Man spring can't get here quick enough.

Here she is all back together she don't look any different but she sure sounds and feels different.

Thats great news Bill...take your time breakin her in. Downshifting and allowing the rev's to slow the bike will help to seat the rings. Feel's like a whole different machine now doesnt it

I'd really like to make the trip up to meet you guys. This sure doesnt sound like the boring uptight crowd that was at the rat raid in gettysburg. Working for myself makes it difficult at best to make plans...especially that far in advance.

Will see what I can do...if nothin else I can bring the HD lol

Trim
It is really cool to see you here.
I can't wait till I can let her go I just took her out for a little ride I was going easy
but she definitely feels stronger.
I really hope you can make it up there even if it is on your HD. because we all know
that Triumphs are really where your heart is.

Well I got home from work tonight and it was only 30° out I had to take Bonnie out
and give her a little more. The big ass silly grin is still on my face Man ! she really does
feel like a different bike.
I could not get her out of 4th. gear because of the roads that I was on and It was to
DAM ! ! ! COLD to stay out any longer.
I SOoooo can't wait till I can really let her go.
Spring cant get here fast enough.
