The Winter Project

[BurnCycle]

It arrived... My TLR.

It needs a bit of TLC but I see no reason why I shouldn't have it up and running for the track next season.

I'd like to tanks Jeff (Motopix) for getting the ball rolling on this.

My poor little TLS moved to back to make room for the TLR...

It did take a bit of a hit at the track day we were at together last year (Summit). But the frame, engine and forks (among a lot of other things) are all good to go.

I quickly took those before I closed up shop for the night and didn't get any complete pictures. D'oh... I will do though before I start any major changes.

I will need to do a lot of replacing... Swing arm, body work (including gas tank), upper radiator, bits here and there, but its nothing overly complex or involved...

...After all my TLS has gone through it all before...

You need some slicks and racing plastic's for that :nod2:

Looks like a nice project, but lets see the rest of the bike.

Tear Down Almost Done.

I only get a chance to work an hour at a time after work but it’s coming along. Most of the trashed parts have been removed and now it’s time to clean up a bit.

The garage is quickly becoming a bit cluttered.

Don’t try this at home… I’m a professional. :dowhat

I now have a total of 4 front and 4 rear wheels! And enough scrap to start a recycling business.
