Matt_Tupman Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 Few pictures of my bike at Hawkstone, finished about 24hours before it went on show which was stressful.I'll get a full spec up once i've finished writing it but to give some motorbike boys a hint the word 'factory' springs to mind.

Matt_Tupman Posted August 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 ok well i cant see whats modifed, what have u done, thats visible, (bearing in mind i dont no what engine parts are called)Right all the alloy has been polished including rims, spokes, swingarm, clutch cover (left side), and water pump. This took me best part of two weeks every evening.Plastics I sprayed a kind of gunmetal grafite colour that I made and also the hubs, brakes, foot peg hangers and the bottem yoke are the same colour.It has a one off flywheel cover (right side) the originals are plastic so I thought it would be nice to get a hefty alloy one made.The engine has quite a few factory parts on it including high compresion head, new piston, clutch, carb which is quite a lot different to standed and a full factory exhaust system which is light and helps the engine breath a lot better.Got some lovely stuff from America from a company called V-Mar they sent me a billiet top yoke, rear sproket, front mud guard risers, snail cams and a wicked nylon chain tension pad (you can only get rubber ones in the UK and they tend to wear fast)I've got some uprated brake pads from Jitsie which have just come out and are nuts almost went over the bars after i'd beded them in!! Also a full set of lever play and adjustment bits from Jitsie which menas I dont need any tools to adjust the brakes (bit like billiet TPAs)Some great ghost nylon coated footpegs which I blagged off Trialscast on Friday at Hawkstone as we were setting up our stand. Cheers to you guys will be in touch shortly.The front frame spars (downtubes) have been machenied lighter, they don't normally have the three holes in them. I've been testing these for a bit now and they seem to be holding up to my abuse so we'll be putting them into production soon hopefully along with the flywheel covers.The rear silencer guard is a custom full carbon fiber joby, normally they have three holes in them but this one is solid.Got a factory Domino throttle which is alloy instead on plastic and so is much more durable and gives a smoother throttle feel.Renthal soft grips which and very comfy.Carbon fiber number board which is a bit pimp.Tryall bars which look smart but I think i'll be changing to Renthal Fatbars soon as they seem to flex a bit on heavey decents which isn't to inspiring.Lightened gear, front mudguard bracket and brake lever.Factory carbon tank coverHeavy duty rear shock mudflapAlso the suspension internals have had a few mods which so far seem to be performing better than I thought but can't reveal these yet Thats about it really there are a lot more tiny thing that i've done like some nicer alloy brackets and a bit more carbon but most of you wouldn't care :$ Hope you like.MattOh and yes thats my Monty in the back ground for sale £850 if anyones intrestead.Pretty sure flyers is spelt fliers ] Very nice.Yep it is :$ people took great pleasure in pointing that out to me at the show!

Matt_Tupman Posted August 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 Factory my foot... that carb's still a mikuni!yes with factory internals! Even the Brown uses the Mikuni it's not a bad carb people just can't set them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikerider Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 (edited) Factory internals lol... set of jets, adjust the tangs, different valve, and different needle or choke if you feel like it. Browny's onto the Keihin now, as are all the proper factory/TT Beta's. They've been playing with them for the last three monthsEdit: Should also add that I'm not slagging it off - the polishing and attention to detail is very good...should spend more time riding it though!

Mr_scott Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 I'm not a fan of the polishing job. Carbon stuff looks smart and the other mods are really nice.Theres no way I'd spend that much time and effort on my 07 Beta. Fatbars, suspension mods, carb mods and a rear mud guard tie wripped back together is as far as im going.Even though I don't like the polishing, I respects the amount of time and effort that has gone into doing it.Well done mate.Craig. Oh and one other thing, were can I get the Jitsie brake pads from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and one other thing, were can I get the Jitsie brake pads from?The polishing was bit of a mission and unfortunaly once i'd started I had to finish it. It's maybe not that practical but I did it for the show and it only had to look good for those two days, although after 4 days riding it's still pretty good.Not sure if the pads are avalible yet but if they are you can get them from Apico they are the UK Jitsie importers and can get stuff pretty quick.

I've found that I can hop and move the bike around far easyer than riders who finish much high than myself in nationals, they're still better than me though Can now do 180degree stoppies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
