Scrambler Hi all...new scrambler owner in Surrey!

Might well be heading down to loomies and newlands corner this afternoon, if your around. I'll have an idea of times around lunchtime so will post on here then.

 

Ah I'm working from lunch time today, thanks for letting me know though!

 

Before...

 

After...

 

Starting small but at least its a start! First change as a Scrambler owner...

Bidding on some TORS and going to get some new tyres too!

 

That's quite nice that fuel cap - may I ask where it came from and what is it's model name?

 

Here's a link to it...they sell it in chrome and black but I'm quite pleased with it!

Hi Matt, thanks very much for the info : my birthdays coming up soon so I'll link this to my lovely wife.

 

Sounds like a good idea...

 

Hey Matt nice one, good old squaredeals.its says on the link that it is lockable, is this true as I'm after a lockable one.

 

Hi Crispey,I've got a lockable fuel cap if you are interested? It's exactly like this:

Well only in as much as it pops in flush and you have to pop it out again...it does lockby key.

I took a lockable one off if you want it!

 

Sorry Matt, do you use a key to lock it or is it just twist to lock?
What type of lockable did you take off? Pic if poss, please.
Biggy! I might take you up on it if all else fails tho I do like the flush one.

 

Sorry didn't explain very well! The last bit was meant to be doesn't lock by key!

Just screws to shut!

The one I took off is in the before photo...is the same as biggys just the little rotating triumph disc that hides the key hole has been broken off at some point...don't know how as this was the one that came on the bike!

It's OK I told you it didn't lock then finished off with it does lock with a key...not a good day for all!

 

So I have just picked up a set of TORS so looking to fit them myself early next week...any suggestions/tips/exactly how to do it...??

This is the first proper job I'm attempting so as idiot proof as possible would be awesome!!

 

prepare your tools ,Take your time. leave plenty of time and make sure the noisy end is pointing outwards

 

Haha thanks I actually think that last bit helped!

 

So have now done the exhaust...fitted tors end cans. What are your thoughts on having the engine remapped...worth it or not?

And...

In terms of rear shocks, any recommendations? Was looking at the TECs in delboys vid so anyone got any thoughts on them??
