If you squint hard you can see the new carbs

Nice carbs aren't they?

I would like to have a new triumph. Just so good looking. definitely do some old fashion hot rodding

They seem pretty good and I really should have done a dyno run before I fitted the carbs just to see what the 865 barrels turned out
They get bad press compared to the FCR flatslides which is a bit unfair IMO

One small niggle I'm having is when I "blip" the throttle to change down gear etc, I just get no response from the throttle
Don't know which part of carb to adjust to get a clean "blip" if you know what I mean ?

I'm rubbish at maths , so could someone please give me the gains in percentage over the original figures

So original 54bhp now 69bhp
44 foot pounds original and 59 ft pounds afterwards

thats about a 28% gain in bhp and a 34% gain in torque

no worries , thats some good gains

Managed to get a matching alloy rear Thruxton wheel at last

Came from a bike with 500 miles as seller was fitting different wheels, so good tyre too

Nice score!

Thanks

The later style wheel has a different hub to accept "straight" spokes to stop the spokes breaking which was a problem with the earlier wheels which had a right angled spoke design where they were attached to the hub

Custom sprocket cover which is much lighter than the original one

Going to remove rear footpegs too

Got some new tank badges , the "garden gate" or "mouth organ" style and removed rear pegs

The new badges are bigger though , so gained some weight !

Installed an oil temperature gauge that fits in place of the filler cap
