1260 kat

[Buffalo Bill]

Right on pete the isle of man may be tiny but the engineering standards are world class most are bikers and the place is awash with old race bikes and race parts you need to know the right people unfortunatly ive fallen out with one guy who is dripping with more race parts and bikes than you could dream off example of one or 2 are john konchinkes no 2 tz250 and ron haslams ns500 among another 50 plus gp bikes and he is not the only one over here i know

Bike racing must be a cult religion there. I'm hoping to make a pilgrimage to IOM myself someday.

Got some mikuni rs38s for the 1260

[rgstu]

Wish i had kept my monster 1390 motor it ran rs40s

[rgstu]

Not a good start on the motor some gorrila has been in there !!! I popped the clutch cover off and found only 5 clutch bolts ? 1 was missing i went to remove the clutch basket the nut was hand tight ! I wonder where that bolt and spring has gone on stripping the whole motor down i found 1 snapped crankcase bolt at the back of the motor 1 broken gearbox cog and a small piece of webbing of the top of the top half of the crankcase where possibly the bolt and spring hit 1 broken magnet on the fly wheel the head is mint as is the barrels lucky ive a
spare gearbox and flywheel and my m8 has a spark eroder and to think i was just going to paint this motor and use it im glad i checked it out first

[rgstu]

[rgstu]

[rgstu]

My shopping list is getting smaller all i need now is a oil cooler kit some accbillet rearsets a nice wiring loom a new screen spacers made and my spondon top yolk copied as a rock ape decided to drill it for renthals and then take a file to it @@@sss

This is the chosen wheel/ disc and caliper combination chosen the 5 spokes as i want to use a speedo drive ive got some internals form a slingshot speed to fit inside the katana clocks so i reads correctly

[rgstu]

I bet you'll have legitimate one finger braking with that massive setup.
Very nice!
