Transmission Problem...? Crap!

[Super D.]

WELL you have a point no point in rebuilding using stock parts nows your chance to build the engine of your dreams . CARPENTER can do the complete build for you and do all the upgrades sounds like the best plan

Let me do my due diligence, and I will likely be giving you a call. Thanks.

I pulled the radiator today. I'll get the front cover off tomorrow. I'll update if I find something.

Hey Dave when you take the front cover off check to see if the detent spring is broke or not. Also if you take some pictures of the clutch basket and cam chain guides we will be able to tell if anyone has done any updates to her. Especially the cam outboard chain guide the adjuster side. The update kits changed the guide.

Also if your not going to build a engien and want to consider buying one and stuff her in the bike I would look at something like this

11 Triumph Rocket Motor * GUARANTEED * 3 III #234 Engine


It is out of a touring 12k on her but has all the updated stuff in her already. If your bike is in great shape it is worth thinking about. You can find older motors but if they are not updated you could be rolling the dice or spending the money to update it before you put it back in.

I saw this one for sale on EBay. The front cover is off, can you tell if it has had the update?

No it has the old style cam chain guide and the old style detent wheel, so I doubt any internals have been done.

If I were you, and I'm glad I'm not, I'd be sick. While it's enticing to think about turning a bad situation good by rebuilding what you have and adding the Carpenter goodies, I'd have to think real hard not just about the money but the time and energy to get it all done. If it's what you were hoping or planning to do anyway then go for it, if it's only a thought as a result of your misfortune, I'd take Warp9.9's advice and try to get the 2011 motor GAURANTEED on Ebay and simply swap them out. Afterwards, put your block up for sale for someone who really wants to monkey with it for their own reasons. You would then get something to put towards the newer motor and it might not sting so bad? Hell, I might buy it and send it off to Carpenter.
Just my thought, sorry for you and others that have had this transmission thing happen to an otherwise incredible machine.

I will be cracking it open probably tonight or tomorrow. I would like to discuss in a PM if you are ok with that.
