  1. The first ride on that will be a good day!

    You will have already discovered how easily these bikes come apart- one of the joys of owning a Tamburini superbike.

    You'll get answers and banter on nearly any issue or query you have with this lot, it's the best forum by a long shot.

    Looking forward to see the restoration take effect, and congrats once again on the purchase. They really are special bikes.

  6. have you checked the wire loom yet??
     
  7. so far only a few things I’m
    Not happy with, reg rec is hard wired but would like opinions on that as id like to fit new plugs, also some lovely chocolate blocks for the indicators as the rear, apart from that nothing too bad, it’s pretty up together just needs some love
     
  8. No for the mono posto conversion!
     
  9. With regard to loom
    Lengths etc? Bike was run with single seat before I collected it. Is there other things I should be looking for?

  13. Slow Sunday but a few bits off and prep for shock removal also, can see that bottom shock bolt being a pain, have soaked it in a motorex rust penetrator that I’ve used on other projects so fingers crossed

  15. Where’s my bin picture :D
    Welcome into our mad house
     
  16. Small progress but progress none the less, is there a go to for the rear shock? I can do the spring etc? My old mans love deal with k-tech? Didn’t know if anyone had any help at all? I want to strip it and re-zinc the threaded part really.
    Cheers
    Olly

  17. I have one here in pieces. I can send you some pictures and guide you through the process of stripping it down if you want. I can do the same for rebuilding it but you would be well advised to have it checked on a Dyno after a rebuild. Seal kit for the damper is about 28 quid. Only tricky bit is re-gassing as you need some special kit to do that. I have a home made version for that too.
