Featured Daytona 900 Cafe racer project (CRK kit)

Hi there good to see you are still managing to get some time on the bike.

I have attached some pics of the setup on my CRK Kit hope clear enough. i did completely replace the rear cylinder as was v rusty, incidentally the cost of complete new unit not much more than a seal kit !!

 

I see yours is an early bike where the drag link has pinch bolts. I have recently seen many of them that have failed, whether it is due to ham fisted previous owners or stress (I suspect its ham fistedness) but keep an eye on it.
Later ones are solid with a grub screw, so the factory must have found it was a problem.

 

Hi Thanks for the advice, have fitted new bolts and nylock nuts so should be ok

 

Best fitting them and see how they feel with your foot alignment.
You will know if they are not right, they need to be comfy and safe.

 

Looks like they may have come off a different set up to your CRK kit.
All you can do is try them, if they cannot be accommodated you may be better contacting CRK for their recommendation.

 

Hi, They have definitely been modified at some time in the past. Would get another set off ebay and chuck those away. Those Allen key bolts do take some shifting btw.

 

I had this with my build. Needed the straight mounts. I also couldn't get the allen bolts out and ended up drilling them to get the rest of the rear set parts and bought just the foot peg holders on ebay to replace them.

 

They are stock triumph. Used when the pegs were in the high position.

 

Brake spring seemed to fit from memory!

 

Hi i left my sanded parts un lacquered, don't seem to have faded at all, looking good by the way

 

That looks fantastic!
I would contact the suppliers of both your paint and laquer and ask for their technical advice, unless we have a knowlegeable forum member who can advise.

 

I would not put on any clear coat either.

PS: ordered the footpeg pivot parts and they sent me the same ones i already have . I have no ordered ones from a Trophy and hope they do the job. Out of interest which ebay ones did the job ??[/QUOTE]


Nice work on the engine - looks super clean!

The pegs off the trophy are the offset ones which don't fit with the kit!!

You need the Daytona ones or I think the ones off the sprint - they have to be the straight kind!!

 

mine was a 1992 Trophy, the vin last 6 digits are 002415 so assume the early ones are those you want, i changed the heel plates on mine for the later Daytona.
