Author Message   Mike748 Posted on Monday, March 12, 2007 - 01:35 pm:        Saw this bike at the Arlen Ness shop in Daytona.   Liquorwhere Posted on Monday, March 12, 2007 - 02:15 pm:        I saw that bike too while searching in the Triumph store for a Thruxton...they didn't have one...cool looking I guess..for a show bike.   Mikef5000 Posted on Monday, March 12, 2007 - 02:44 pm:        Ok, is one side of the V the piston, and the other side is the Tranny? That's crazy! Wonder if it's good for anything?! The sprocket brake disk is cool too.

Then, kiss your rear brake "Good bye!"   Mikef5000 Posted on Monday, March 12, 2007 - 03:43 pm:        BWAHAHA! I figured brake heat would be the problem with that setup... I didn't even think about the chain lube!   P0p0k0pf Posted on Monday, March 12, 2007 - 06:08 pm:        If it isn't overlubed and runny, then the lube can only be slung away from the braking surface. It isn't a bad design, just less idiot-proof than the standard rig.   Microchop Posted on Monday, March 12, 2007 - 09:02 pm:        Who lubes their o-ring chain?   Johntman Posted on Monday, March 12, 2007 - 09:30 pm:        at least he has a front brake. i saw some choppers running that set up without front brakes, all good till you break a chain or belt.   Phat_j Posted on Monday, March 12, 2007 - 09:41 pm:        and just what would breaking a chain or belt have to do with stopping that motorcycle? now if your refering to one of the trans breaks, thats a diff story..... but that bike does not have the break mounted to the trans, its on the swingarm....   Johntman Posted on Tuesday, March 13, 2007 - 12:35 am:        Phat_j you are right trans brake. sorry complete brain fart. my bad
