DangerousDave87 · DTR Senior Member

Little update for you all. Should be finished in a few weeks hopefully, just ordering the last bits. p.s. you can turn the 3d off to view video properly.

SUPERSTEVE · Guru

Sounds Beefy!!!!!!

DangerousDave87 · DTR Senior Member

yeah think that's mainly due to the hole in front chamber. if I got enough I'm gonna buy another one

Seanyftw · Guru

Where'd you get those exhausts from and was it easy to fit? That looks awesome

DangerousDave87 · DTR Senior Member

DT-R_bradders · Guru

Nice work there dave, can defo hear the blow in the expansion pipe, I jus welded mine up today coz I cracked it quite badly , it lost a bit of power aswell , soon as it was repaired it had an instant power boost , was good fun for 5 mins untill I got used to it again lol , u on the road with it yet?

DangerousDave87 · DTR Senior Member

DangerousDave87 · DTR Senior Member

for Steve, hope this helps mate

filled up the coolant today and afterwards it wouldn't start. took spark plug out and was covered in coolant

. so took head off, replaced gasket and skimmed head, so now all is fine and working again. bit Smokey at no but not sure if that's the premix, coolant or exhaust. more updates to come

SUPERSTEVE · Guru

Cheers mate, dont wanna be messing about when i wire it up,

yellow with blue

blue with red

green with black

DangerousDave87 · DTR Senior Member

yeah that's it mate. Another lil update, made a patch for hole in exhaust and heat wrap came through. Will get pics up once its on as waiting on cable ties at mo

DangerousDave87 · DTR Senior Member

Got this through the post today. Had a bit of trouble wiring in the idiot lights as I was an idiot lol. All connected apart from speedo sensor as need an extension. Fed up of waiting for my local garage to get a battery so gonna order a sealed one off eBay. Mirrors should be here tomoz so will slap them on. Think I might need to get head skimmed as having same problem as bkray with the coolant, also got a split in the radiator overflow pipe that's been taped up by the old owner, so might need to replace that. Then its just tidy her up, panels on, find a small number plate n get her mot'd. might be a while as out of work at mo tho

DT-R_bradders · Guru

yes dave u joined the vapour crew lol i got the stealth aswell but i didnt get the optional warning lights n other light on it

DangerousDave87 · DTR Senior Member

lol had to go stealth. couldn't believe how small it was when I got it. might try and move it so its more in the middle tho and move the ignition over to the left. I only got the lights cause I thought u need em for not.

DT-R_bradders · Guru

na m8 dont need em mot, well they didnt say anything bout it to me, maybe cause he was too worried bout my tiny number plate lol!
looks good tho m8 nice one

DangerousDave87 · DTR Senior Member

Lil update. skimmed head and barrel and happy with that now. my gear shaft decided to round off other day so got one off eBay and got that fitted today. while I had the casing off decided I might aswell change the water pump seal, was as bitch to get out but got there in the end. new ones all in and I'm selecting gears fine now. need to get some more gear oil, her my battery next week when I for the money. still need to get a smaller number plate. done an insurance quote other day and found it for £114 third party only. just need to get some cash together so I can finish it then I wanna meet up with u guys at ace some when

DT-R_bradders · Guru

not too long then now eh dave? bet its got a fuk load of compression with both head and barrel skimmed now ? lol
how long u reckon till ur on the the road ???

DangerousDave87 · DTR Senior Member

nah not long at all mate. yeah compression is brilliant. just got some more gear oil, getting battery n l's tomoz. then its just finish a few bits I forgot bottom like front mudguard holes n split pins(if that's what their called). hoping to get it on road over next couple of weeks as my nuns gonna lend me the cash so I don't sell my car. if I get it on the road quick enough I wanna come up to ace on 23rd to see you guys

DangerousDave87 · DTR Senior Member

Reef · Guru

DangerousDave87 · DTR Senior Member

well bikes on the road now. failed mot at first as horn button was missing and headlight alignment, so button head screw and some tape sorted the horn and they adjusted headlight for me. Got some running problems tho as doesn't like going over 6-7rpm. I'm thinking powervalve turning wrong way, that or its my expansion chamber(has a hole that's been bodged up). Gonna have a fiddle in a bit and will post some pics up once I got it goin right
