New project

First topic message reminder :

Sight unseen in the  flesh . Pics show lots of broken bits . No idea if it would start even if it had power . Unknown history .1400kls away so another
ute road trip .Mileage unknown .$1000
I think I now own a tlr Suzuki .

Looks great Gus

Clutch is slipping at the moment so waiting for 2 ramp things to be welded together .Slipping ,and then suddenly grabbing ,at 4-5oo revs was not my idea
of fun .

That is certainly looking schmick Gus - well done.  Much left to do?

Great job Gus , looks tops .

A clutch bit , rear disc ,that should get me rego . Then I can ride it and do a proper tune up .
Hang on ,I forgot , the rear rotary suspension is bad so I have to replace that with a bitubo  shock . Have my eye on a used one if all the planets align .
Also have a lighter tinted screen coming .

Bloody brilliant, Gus.

New clutch plates Gus?

No ,the tlr and tls have a 2 part ramp system that acts like a slipper clutch . When it gets worn ,it slips on acceleration and kind of feels like its jumping out of gear .The tl experts say to weld the two parts together fixes the problem .
In 2nd and above its fine but, 1st is scary or no movement at all, then it engages and its HANG ON .
The 2 pieces welded together. I really have no idea how the 2 piece system works . (or is supposed to)

Looks fantastic mate, great job. Who said you can't polish a turd? You are remarkable.
They all seem to have the welded clutch centre don't they? I like the slipper clutch feel on deceleration, no nasty compression lockups if you F*%k up. Im sure Stu will help you out there. Let me know if you ever find a Bitobu for an "S". As you know theres a constant supply for the "R" and if one comes up for an "S" its gone in 60 seconds.

How about a pair of Yoshi carbons for $150  the pair .Oh YES PLEASE .

were you following the truck they fell out the back of 

What the heck Gus - they look new.  Chinese copies? 

Gumtree $170 ono .

Unbelievable.

+1 (they must be stolen).

nice one Gus!

Something about a nice shock.
Bitubo to replace rotary thingo  and spring .
Used ,local $300

looks the goods Gus 

Bloody hell Gus. If you find one like that for a reasonable price for the Bandit sing out. The Ohlins basic shock is starting to get pretty pricey.

Hey Gus, bitubo is a quality product but if the shock is set up anything like there fork cartridges the compression damping could be very firm, not to everyones liking, but can be revalved obviously.

Looks good Gus .............what's next ?

Hell of a difference to what you had to start with Gus - fantastic. 

You're the master Gus.
Awesome job.
