the k's are a fab bike, but theyre top heavy, mine was unfaired and was fine for me to move about, but i shudder to think how much mass the big lt fairing adds above the waterline. only problem i can see with them is that they dont really fetch good money. my k100 was original down to the exhaust an...

my distributor has one set of points in it therefore the cylinders can only fire at the same time. had i two sets of points, then it would as you say be possible to get different timing for each set of points. but with one set of points, (and a distributor on the back of the engine behind the r/h cy...

pete, im at a loss as to how i can get different timing on each cylinder with a wasted spark. ive only got one set of points so the cylinders will both fire at the same time in the cranks rotation.

and whatever we dont like, we all do like our bantams!

i spoke to odgie at the weekend about this, and he pointed out something that id never realised. ive a distributor on my t100a, and he said the best way to improve it and make the timing easier to set up is to move to a wasted spark setup. essentially instead of a single coil and a distributor with ...

good little thing the c15. ive got one with a triumph piston in it which boosts the compression and capacity. its now somewhere round 270cc and picks its feet up like no c15 roadbike has a right to!

try tri-supply, ive dealt with the guy a few times, very pleasant and helpful on the phone and an encyclopedic knowlege of triumph part numbers! im sure his number will pop up if you google him.

you might want to look out for an indian enfield, theyre cheap and plentyful and a bit bigger than a bantam!

or a c15, at 6 foot 5 you would swamp a bantam d1. im only 6 foot, but my bantam felt tiny.

ive used tri-supply a few tmes. the guy has an encyclopedic knowlege of the marque, and spent a while talking me through what i needed to fix my 61 t100a, not trying to sell me stuff, but just going through the details of the small parts i needed. he wouldnt sell me stuff first of all, he said i sho...
