Have built a dozen or so bikes over the years , but this one is for me to keep. Normally i get fed up and sell it after a while of use.One of the other interesting ones i built was a tuned xbr500 lump in a tzr125 deltabox frame, but that is another tale. |
Be interested to hear what you do to the motor if you decide to "breathe" on it a bit ! I've got a couple of spare kickstart return springs knocking about somewhere if you ever break yours, they did seem a bit prone to breaking. We also devised a method of stopping the pushrod tubes from leaking oil. I know of the whereabouts of a Triton and once I've made space in the garage by selling the ST2 it could well be in there as a winter project.
