Featured Trophy 1200 Streetfighter

Belly pans on

 

Another angle

 

Thanks. Defo needed one imo. Was worth sacrificing the 2 damaged panels to make it. Let's see how the electrics go...

 

Bit of a progress update...

Bikes picked and gone to my mates so I can actually work on it under cover.

Paint works off and should be back soon.

Got the CRK carb kit which needs to be fitted.

Help * where can I actually find a gasket kit for my model * anyone use anyone specific or can recommend anywhere..?

 

Bike progress.

Exhausts back off, casings etc off to soda blasters. Going to tidy the engine next and start hiding the wiring. That seems fairly straight forward at the min so we shall see.

Still waiting on the fresh paint...

Anyone used a decent engine paint before that doesn't just flake off. Engine isn't being removed at this stage. Seems a fair few about but recommendations are always better.

Gaskets located and on way so hopefully as its been a while, progress will kick in and the bike should hopefully be up and running swiftly...

 

Collected my parts from Midlands Vapour Blasting.

Can't recommend Tom enough. Absolutely top bloke. These parts looked like they'd been at the bottom of the ocean for 6 years so ultra impressed with the result.

Going to powder coat them black as I think it'll make the paint work pop. Getting closer to the finish tho

 

Got all the gaskets sorted and various seals so engines ready to be sorted next.

Casings are off at powder coat so that'll wait for now. Got to do a bit of tlc on the engine frontage then the rebuild can commence....

Paints collected, preview

 

Casings back from powder coat. Excellent job as ever by Potteries Powder Coating.

My mate has also jetted the carbs with the performance jets from crk so all in all its getting there...

Next job engine tidy then the wiring...

 

Right top day today progress wise due to my top mate giving me a chuck...

Managed to get the casings and rocker cover back on with fresh gaskets.

The engine was thoroughly cleaned and prepped and got some fresh paint.

Exhaust, oil cooler and radiator went back on and we managed to put the belly pan together and fit that also.

Finish off with a trial fit of the tank to see where the wiring is going to be rooted and jobs a good un.

Loving the colour choices.

Getting there.

 

Taking shape......

Electrics are pretty much sorted too. Mates had a fiddle and the looms turned out to be not that troublesome after all...

Trip to triumph tomorrow to get oil and coolant so hopefully it'll be running soon.

 

Quick visit to Staffordshire Triumph, fluids purchased and enough time have a butchers on the shop floor...

 

Well it runs, sounds like demon and is ready for the Mot...

 

99.9% complete...

Looking forward to getting some miles done

 

Couple of pics from tonight.

Added a rubber tank pad protector too. Really good quality from triumph.

The one I got does various things. From memory I thing the plugs etc were attached so it was straight forward.
I used the cable to keep it simple. Works fine. Mi es got the rev counter and usual speedo etc. Think it can be programmed for gear shift and all that stuff. I kept it basic as poss in fairness. I'll try find which model I got...

 

I'll check the unit when I get up. Ca t find the email with the details on at the min from when I got it. Its defo one of the koso unit's tho.
