If youre wanting to match the vehical behind , in the picture , a few tweaks are required ! .
Two Way Damped REAR SHOCKS will stop your fillings falling out , and the rear descending on irregulaities in the pavement , at speed .
Theres two heads for these . A later slightly thicker chamber one , avoids the seat to stud head cracks .
Splay port head was first fitted to the 57 T 100 R . dirt tracker , and was a option in 58 for the T 110 .
750 Valves and mild tuliping thru the curve to the seat , and 1 5/32 Amal on the 1 1/8 intakes improve the breathing.
in Combo with the Cut Back 56 pipes , 2 1/2 at head to the Boyer Length , with the Wassel Megas will have it
coming on the pipes past 7000 rpm & running past 8000 .
Tripe about poor handling is largely hogwash . Paint Between engine / gearbox plate faces etc a issue .
Metal to metal 7 the bolts up ' securely ' the frightfully modern geometry steers well. With a firm hand .
Matches a hideous Z1 at least . On pavement. And will leave them at the line on dirt roads. Never to be
seen agian. Untill a wrecker hauls them out of the ditch . 100 mph hand off - on gravel roads. No Problem.
even with the sh*t shocks .
Extremely particular ignition timing is neccesary . 3/8 B.T.D.C. - 38 Deg. Would pink just at mid range,
if not watched . 98 octane 70s pump gas . 110 in third on stock gearing. Tho 105 was less unreasonable .
But who wants to be reasonable .
9.5:1 Hepolites gave 9:75 with the oversized valves out on unsuncken stock seats . Head was actually
done in N Z by Hooker , the last before he went to the U S to incorporate the ' Round ' valves seats used in His N A S C A R
engines .
Three angle - radiused - flat / coned at contact point. Stock cams ( tho this is a 61 - as in this here pitcher )
So, there you go . Now you Know . Dont leat the side down . Chin up. Press on rewardless .
Ball Race crank bearings and the 67 type ' Thruxton ' type pear cheeked crank . ( original was shot )
Was past 18 owners and 100.000 mile before the build . Most Still basical sound. Tho all the consumables were .
And no, some dead sh*t put the flat on the pipe prior to it going on the machine . Left pipe'd touch - under the clutch,
so needed riding around . The dual rate Shocks'd help obliviate that issue . Dunno if youre lower fork legs match / 1 " longer than unit , so more travel . Bars are Westerns ' pulled back . Chin on rear of tank and 5'*" the elbows lock on the knees , to hold the plot on the road . Full Wellie' it'd load up , but clear at 90 mph. in third . 270 main jets .
Thus the front was light it if didnt watch it , through the other side of the Auckland Bridge .
Cork Clutckplates gave superb feed back . Theyve got good weight distribution .
So Get To It. NO letting the side down . Goin chew up Hondas , kwikersakis and yamahahahas ,
Gently off the line it'd pass RD 350s buy 60 mph & the souped up Saint theyed been racing .
14.5 quater at 90 when totallty clapped out . Riding for the next owner ..
1 intacct ring , clutch shot , no power . Wouldnt even lift the front end .
However. . .
Rebuit it 60 over & unit primary .
Switching from throttle off to throttle on at 60 mph lane splitting, he ran it thru to 90 on the rear wheel .

seen for sale 4 or 5 years back on NZ trade me , as a project .
Likely theyd wrecked the best head on the planet . No Class some pr*cks .
OPast 80 the Front Brake wasnt a lot of use . Id set it up carefully and use the straight pull cable backplate .
or lever at least . Its a drop in , so Originality is less a priority than someones grill through your teeth .
PLUS . A 25 tooth engine spocket was listed as an option . Wick should see it to / past 140 . in that spec .
