Loving the resolution on those photos lmao!

Aww dude how come?

dread123 · Moderator

google photos... uploaded from there rather than phone lol hadn't realised how bad it was

Calum122 · Guru

I meant how come you thinking getting rid?

dread123 · Moderator

thinking about doing another project...once this engine is rebuilt- might look at a tdr or perhaps another DT? -will be one or the other i think

NEV · Guru

Be nice to have something like this sat in the garage, the 3sh Italia model would be even nicer

Calum122 · Guru

Ah fair enough. TDR would be interesting. If not something jap. If it were me I'd grab myself a project 4DL to restore.

I've finally found the last piece for my 4HW cylinder kit. Importing it from Italy.

Also found the correct boost bottle for the 4DL engine. That too is coming from overseas. Either Germany or Italy. I think the postage is costing more than the item lmao!

gonna be utilising this rebuilt engine i think..so something that is knackered will be ideal- bodywork doesnt phase me :p

TDR looks a bit like the Honda Dominator. Would rather a Dominator IMHO

Calum122 · Guru

Really? Honda dominator?

Heavy four stroke that doesn't really push that much BHP. Reliable as the earth I suppose. But TDR's are cracking bike.

The Dominator would be more powerful, surely? Least the one I had was. Just go in second then full throttle it and it'll be doing a wheelie. Was all good for about 90MPH. Handling was shocking in the rain, would just spin up past 4K RPM. biggrin

updated pics and video running rebuilt engine :p

Luke · Guru

Looks tidy. Is that the spare engine? Or the one you had in it, the one the chain came off on?

dread123 · Moderator

no thats the original engine that i took out last year- and rebuilt completely. the engine with cracked case is under my dining table-awaiting the case to be switched lol

also i transferred the barrel and piston over as they had done around 1200 miles- the spare engine has another barrel with brand new piston kit on 1mm oversize to be fitted when i finished swapping the case.
