Yeah, but on a brand spanking new bike.

Finally traded in Ragnar The Yamaha, (after 6 months thinking about it) and stepped on to a shiny new one with all the mod cons like EFI and ABS, but it looks like a late 60's triumph

Plus, in true hoon theism, I made sure to get some loud pipes fitted before delivery. Pretty sure they will fail a sound test, but YOLO.

Cool..... Lauda is faster and safer. What kind of bike is it?

Yes, yes it is. Its also a LOT more fun in the tunnel than a single that sounds like a huge briggs and stratton.

 

Its a Royal Enfield Interceptor. Brand spanking new 650 twin designed by ex-triumph engineers.

Nothing wrong with a Briggs n Stratton!!

Just take an XT600 through in third gear.  

Fluffy - the bike was stupidly cheap for what it is. Came to just shy of $10.3k with the fuwlly sik zorst.  Still got a couple of hundred to blow on other farkles when the genuine accessories become available in a few weeks,  needs a fairing,  crash pad for the bars and soft panniers.

Yeah I checked out some of their stuff. Looks cool. I liked the retro side car deal. [emoji848]

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
