Did Chris baalance your crank as well?

When I strip mine again for the final paint job I want to get my crank overhauled.
Yes he did.

Thank goodness I can’t afford to buy it then because I get confused just opening a book never mind trying to read a wiring diagram. It’s black magic I tell ya and no good will come of it :lol:

I made a blanking plate for the front of the plastic Triumph air box, cut 2 holes in the section above it for the inlet tubes and re-located the coolant expansion tank.

Everything now fits under the fuel tank and it's front cover, and the fuel tank is such a snug fit that it actually holds the air box onto the carb inlets, so no securing straps or brackets required.

Yes - it has a modified GT750 J radiator fitted.
I chose one of these as they have the nice rad end covers, into which I have mounted the front indicators, same as the current Street / Speed triples.

Nice

Mine is obviously stuffed under the rear seat.

I embedded my indicator LED streams into my master cylinder bodies.
