Dropt a valve. Prolly. I haven't got around to stripping it down, but the noise and the chopped-up business end of the spark plug is evidence enuff. When the head comes off a valve, and you have a chunk of metal the size (initially) of a £2 coin being tenderised at 6Krpm, the result is going to be wildly unpretty. I expect that the inside of the combustion chamber will look like someone's been at it wif a blunt hatchet. Casualties will include head, barrel & piston, the conrod may be fuct and there's the possibility of crank damage. Still, mustn't grumble, good excuse to buy the Trofy etc. -- Platypus - (surreal) Triumph Trophy 1200 (The Incredible Hulk) VN800 Drifter (still for sale) R80RT (for sale - spares or repairs) Z200 (Fear the Distance Monster!)

New spark plug? Coupla quid.

<fx wipes slight drool from side of mouth> "Nah, wouldn't be worth much. But I'll take it off yer hands if you like..." Sereiusslly, are you going to mend it or flog it? If the latter, how much, and how far from Brisle? Regards, Simonm.
pity it's got a lunched top end, I quite fancy a set of 800cc barrels to go on mine. After carefully removing any indication of capacity, of course... spose I could fit one of 'em and have an R70...
Yup, make me an offer, and about a dozen miles. -- Platypus - (surreal) Triumph Trophy 1200 (The Incredible Hulk) VN800 Drifter (still for sale) R80RT (for sale - spares or repairs) Z200 (Fear the Distance Monster!) DIAABTCOD#2 GPOTHUF#19 BOTAFOS#6 BOTAFOT#89 FTB#11 BOB#1 SBS#35 ANORAK#18 TWA#15
Depends on which R60: they're modified K100 telescopic forks on the monolever R80RT, and probably won't suit Earles-forked versions. Anyway, I'm a bit north of Brizzle: if you're in the vicinity, pop in and have a lewk. HBoL reckons stanchion OD is 38.425-38.450mm, which might be 2.5mm too big for you. -- Platypus - (surreal) Triumph Trophy 1200 (The Incredible Hulk) Drifter (still for sale) R80RT (for sale - spares or repairs) Z200 (Fear the Distance Monster!)

Mines a 60/6. Hmmm. HBOL say indeed what you say for an R80. it also say smaller ones for "all other models". bugger. wonder if the yokes would fit an' all... hmmm. only lists one kind of steering head bearings...
I try... Father once had a 175cc LE velo which had a 150 pot on one side and a 200 pot on the other, apparently.
