Discussion Bike Photos - rare, different, modified, standard, and just plain wrong, etc etc

Have used that method to get broken off studs out.

 

Any port in a storm?
You must be really having some rough weather up there.

 

Even these look better in standard factory finish than the examples you posted.
So Nah......

Damn fine piece of kit ... T150 Triton

 

They are Amal concentrics so it would not effect them with or without the silly pod filters.

 

I think it might go 'ok'

“The motor itself is mildly tuned with Megacycle cams, 10:1 compression Omega pistons, Carrillo rods lightweight crank, uprated oil pump, dry clutch, and a belt drive. For the electrics, we went with central spark plugs head and a Pazon ignition. Gearing is handled by a Quaife 5 speed gearbox and three 30mm carbs feed the cylinders. All that and a set of billet alloy 850cc barrels resulted in a dyno figure of 80bhp at the wheel.

Great just needs a rear guard now and it will be finished.

 

How is there no difference between running pods and open intake?? Pods still have filtration... depending on their design and sizing but they would certainly be different to open intake. They have velocity stacks on there and I doubt that it is an "everyday" bike so the argument about filters vs open intake and dirt probably dont hold a lot of value. No point comparing production motorcycles that need to meet design rules, emission standards etc... and apart from that... the old Triumph designs run amazingly well on Pod filters or open intake with velocity stacks.. they are not as fickle as more modern bikes.

 

I ran open intakes on the Lucky Strike Bike for awhile. Mostly to have straight through airflow (eliminating ridges). Worked fine. Only real issue was no filter, so ended up going back to airbox.
