my summertime work on my dirt track bikes

[52]

Thanks to Dave Gras for that starter, that bike is nearly impossible to start with the kickstarter. simple as with that electric starter.
Best investment ever.

looking good peter
all my projects have come to a stop painting started on the weekend

Looks terrific Pete. Front brakes to make Aussie officials happy I suppose?
I agree with Pancho about the starter. Did Grassy make it ? I've been looking at making one
myself.     regards  Mark.
ps. Best of luck in the U.S. You will have to keep us updated. Cheers.

Sorry for the thread hijack Jim but I thought you would be a tad busy with all of that painting

Yep Davey made it, he is a wizard with all things mechanical, a god with electrical. Will be sourcing drivers for other engines soon.

What starter is used? I have a couple of starter motors laying 'round but obviously I need to get one without an outrigger bearing.

Really not sure, Dave sourced it, the one's out of the states use one out of a small Dodge, but I don't know what model. Will check with Dave.

update on the Honda cr250 dirttracker








triumph is on back burner as ist meeting is a st George one and no pre70 or pre65 races

[jimg1au]

some delays but here is my fruits of labour

[Slider29]

Great work Jim. I really like the Triumph. Love to hear it. Nice color as well.
Pity that our regs. require front brakes on framers. Be good to see both bikes
with spools on the front. Keep up the good work mate.
regards  Mark

Even though I'm not DT rider, I dig your Trumpy Jim. That thing looks like something I'd like to throw a leg over. Can I ask what swing arm you have on it?
