Hi Bob and welcome to the forum great looking ride. We’re bike lovers here so I’m sure the guys would love to see your old Streetfighter
Here you go - 1998 Suzuki TLR1000 GSXR K4 Front end, with KTech internals, Hyperpro 3D Rear Shock with a Maxton rocker linkage, Airbox flapper valves removed, K+N filter, PC111 with custom map, TRE, Beowulf cans. 119.8 hp@ the rear wheel. Vanzuki Window clutch cover, pressure plate and retainers. GSXR K2 instruments reflashed to correct mileage and all functions converted to TLR codes. Paint, polishing and plenty more . Tend to go to rally's on this (better seat for Mrs Cave Bob) and also taken it to Europe a couple of times. Its got similar torque to the Speed triple, but not the rabid top end. It'll be interesting to see how they compare, when I get the Triumph dyno'd.
Hi bob, Best thing i did with mine was fit ebc hh pads at the front. Made quite a difference imo. Handlebar risers were pretty good too. All the rest is summed up by one word..... CARBON!!
Hi mate, The TL's running Bendix MMR Road race pads in the GSXR K4 calipers, discs are Galfer Wave. Its the best set up I've ever used, loads of feel. My next job is to fit some some of the Bendix pads to Speed Triple. What would you suggest for an upgrade to carbon? Can you recomend a supplier and I'll check things out? Cheers, Bob
Good morning Bob and welcome aboard. As for the Suzuki, Never fear, we like all different flavors of bikes here!
