Featured Triumph Trophy based bratstyle

If you didn't know - you'd be hard pressed to realise how it started out. Well done fella..

 

Hi bud where did your handle bar conversion come from again.Im not familiar with lsr ?

 

Loving your build cos its basically what I want to do. I didn't actually know it was called 'Brat' style but it's what I'm after.

 

Nice one, I'll keep an eye on your build

 

Really interesting, angry sky, nice job. I'm in the early stages of doing something similar to a 1200 Trophy - I've got a Commando interstate tank and am probably going to mod a Laverda Jota II fairing to fit.
Any chance of a full side on shot so I can see properly how the tank sits?

 

Looking good mate

 

Wow what a great job you have done so far she is looking good.

That looks VERY nice!

 

Hi
Great job on the bike, i bet it moves now with all that weight taken off. Have you thought/tried fitting pod filter's to change the look. I've used them on mine with some bigger main jets, lifting the needle and opening up the tickover jets. Runs very smoothly with some extra grunt
Cheers

What a great write up and super pictures following this closely, well done and its looking great so much different than it started out,
PS
Think Chris's above idea of pod filters would look very good

 

Hi
The pods I fitted were from Hinckley spares, these have a deep coller so once on they don’t obstruct the opening slit on the top of the Mikuni carb to allow the needle jet to rise. The other changes to the carb, needle lift, increase main jet and open up the tick over jets are pretty straight forward. I do have the original exhaust system on so your setting may differ slightly and obviously balancing the carbs is key. I’d be really interested in the carb changes made to yours from the standard setting on the Dino
Cheers
Chris

 

I think that would work, pick up the white stripes on the tank, Although I am very very sure someone will be along shortly telling you it has to stay all

Couldn't have put it better myself

 

Hi Sky

In order to insure the pods fitted securely, I used some ‘‘spunge based” double sided tape around the carb inlet before positioning the pod filters and securing. Just make sure your not obstructing the small slit across the top of the carb inlet body. This allows the diaphragm to move effectively as the throttle is opened. Open up the idle jets, (see my previous posts) to richen up the mixture to ensure smooth acceleration from low revs. Also increase the main jet size, (see my previous posts) to richen up the mixture as the carb is being opened up. I also lifted the needle to it max setting.

If your bike pulls well from closed throttle to fully open without any flat spots or hesitation, your setup won’t be far wrong. I would Dino test if your having trouble but if it pulls well till full throttle i’d Save your money. Balancing your carbs using some vacuumed gauges is key, I would invest in a set of these gauges before spending on Dino test, easy to use and fairly cheap.

Sorry if your well up on this already but it is useful discussion for other members

All the best

Chris

 

I like the look of the bike, but the cloth battery case stands out too much for me. I would die it black so it fades into the bike, or even brown leather to match the seat. It’s easy for me to sit here and comment, your in the arena doing !!! Well done
