  1. Engine paint & Tranny completed (Finally)

    Akita, sorry about the long, long delay to reply. That is simply a cut-to-fit peice of aluminum that was painted with flat black spray paint. I hate that big gap on that side also. It made all the difference in the world. I also cleaned it up by putting a auto door gap protector strip on the edge.

  2. Shifter!!! (redux)

    True statement, he did "luck out" I'll bet that Peter guy had nothing to do with it. He's out to save triumph money by not doing recalls and much neeeded repairs. My tranny crapped out and they wouldn't fix it even though other bikes had suffered the same breakdown. Also as I paid the $1800 to...

  3. Engine paint & Tranny completed (Finally)

    It is High Temp epoxy. The guy who did the work has done at least 50 street bikes and some Harley's. He says he never had one come back for touch up. Mine is more shiny than I wanted, but I like it. The painter does a lot of radical Harley's, Choppers and streetbike show bike stuff. It was hard...

  4. Crux of the Biscuit

    Thanks Greg, very good advice. I don't plan on going darkside on the street. I will definately use it at the strip. I will also use a car tire installer. I'll record my trips to the strip and will probably have to raise the rpm's off the line to keep the front wheel grounded.

  5. Engine paint & Tranny completed (Finally)

    Now it's time to blow the dust out of the turbo. We'll see how the paint hold up.

  6. Crux of the Biscuit

    I feel like I can get sub 10's also. Yes it would have to hook up off the line. Greg, I had that exact thought concerning the car tires, thanks for the suggested type/sizes. I'll have to put the car tire on a stock R3 rim and take the CF rim of on track day, to pretty for the track and will it...

  7. Crux of the Biscuit

    If 10 flat is true, it will outrun amost all sport bikes in the 1/4 except a busa, gxsr1000 and a zx14. They are all sub 10's in the 1/4 mile. Most of the other big sport bikes are 10.1 -10.47. The zx10 also clames a 10.0. I'm with regulator, putting the power on the drag strip will tell what...

  8. Nitrous?

    Tripp, I also injoy the thrust of a turbo kit. I have an IHI turbo @11 psi, 267 rwhp & 267 peak torque. I'm about to install a dynojet mult-port and do some "more" fine tuning. The last tuner could never get the two bar map sensor to work. Right now it's disconnected, the bike runs fine without...

  9. bst / pirelli diablo

    Dang Fin, you're just ah hot dog. Hard to believe you were able to get serious lean angles with the motoplan rearsets. My bike may be lower than yours but I scape well before my personal capabilities. Go get some new tires.:mad:

  10. R3 Engine Powder Coating?

    Does anyone know if it's possible to powdercoat an r3 engine with all the innards still assembled (cases not split and disassembled). I'm told the engine would be at 450 degrees for about 30 minutes. It's very expensive to take the engine apart and gutted for coating. If the engine can't handle...

  11. Oil Tank Plaque

    Fin, if you don't get some soap and a tooth brush to your engine crevises I'm going to come to Finland(on your dime) and clean it for you. Oh, make sure to have one of those pretty Fin girls waiting for me:). Hey, whats that on your handlebars?

  12. Hello from Arctic Circle,Finland

    That looks like a pretty good set up, my down tube runs from the TB's the same. I have that air box full. The tank for my air shifter and the compressor that fills it is in there as well. Therefore, thats a no go for me. Thats a long run for that intake pipe all the way from the turbo inlet. I...

  13. Hello from Arctic Circle,Finland

    Welcome TurboR3, I too went turbo on my R3. Unreal isn't it. Greg, I'm sure you know my bike has a intake on the bottom. I rode in rain before with no problem but I think it will not be good if I go through torrential down pours like I did pre-turbo, coming from Leesburg bikefest in 2006. That...

  14. Improved Stance

    Cool, it streamlines the bike.

  15. Improved Stance

    Hombre, the higher stance didn't detract from the looks. Some that sit high aren't very esthetically pleasing. Now your set up is pretty "all around" straight line drag, twisties and max speed.Just not to much cruising. Did you have to do some cutting on your Radiator to get it smooth, or did...

  16. Another newbie

    Hombre, I'm going to check it out at the strip and see if I need to get Nev's cams. Torque on the high end his cams will provide might serve me better and a little off the bottom might get me out of the hole faster.

  17. Another newbie

    Thanks for the welcome. Hombre, it's going to take a bit to keep up with that fine tuned machine of yours. The turbo kicks in at 2400 rpm, very early. Off the line in 2nd gear it burns all the way to just about the top of 3rd. I may have to go to the dark side while at the strip to get her to...

  18. BST wheel stripe

    Smokin look Fin, You are hereby nominated for the Bad Ass R3 club! You can bring your buddy with the orange R3 with ya.:D

  19. Another newbie

    Hello, I'm Brembo. I've reading you guys for a while and thought it was time to become a part of this great site. I'm the proud owner of a fast...fast black turbo charged R3. My good friend Hombre posted a pick of my bike once. It's in the shop right now getting the gears undercut and having the...
