Triumph Hinckley Bonny

Re: Triumph Hinckley Bonny
Yes the chart is mine and it was run with "Thruxton" needles and 135 main jets but was told to fit the standard Bonny needle and go up to 140 main jet
They said the Thruxton needles made it too rich at the bottom and the taper meant it didn't need as big main jets as if you used the Bonny needle as the needle is never fully out the emulsion tube ?
I sent a pic of the graph to TTP and he said the spikes on the gas analyser were maybe caused by the probe not being pushed far enough up the silencer ?

TEC rear shocks now fitted
The reservoirs look a bit out of place but saw another Bonny that had a black strip over the remote reservoirs and it made them blend in

Fitted EBC front disc as the old one was worn down to minimum thickness
This one is a floating disc compared to standard and is a little lighter with the alloy centre
Titanium disc bolts too for that power to weight ratio

My barrels are 790cc being an early model
Sending head to Bob Farnham who is a 2 stroke Guru but also has a soft spot for the Triumph Twins
He will skim it and do a gas flow job and reckons 75bhp ish and high 50's torque

Re: Triumph Hinckley Bonny
Anyone who cant appreciate a Triumph twin new or old, should have their issued (enthusiast licence) revoked, same goes for Harley bashers. Most classic styled bikes are just wonderful machines be it dirt or road.Headcoats wrote: Sending head to Bob Farnham who is a 2 stroke Guru but also has a soft spot for the Triumph Twins

Re: Triumph Hinckley Bonny
Sorry, don't like the Harley's. Don't bash them. Just don't like anything about them...well, maybe the history. Saw a '47 knucklehead tonight.

Re: Triumph Hinckley Bonny
Hope to change the barrels this winter (UK)
Thinking of not getting the gas flow now and just get the shims done and make sure the valves are sealing and in good condition
Got to get some space in the garage before I do anything
Your garages are like aircraft hangers in comparison
This is how it looks now, only difference are some plastic side panels to replace the metal ones
Sold the metal ones and got some from a brand new bike for not much more
They have "T100" on them though but that's what they ended up calling the Bonnevilles with spoked wheels

Took the bull by the horns and started stripping the top end down

Re: Triumph Hinckley Bonny
Not as much BHP as expected but the big surprise was the 11 pounds of extra torque, especially at bottom end
Original bike made 54 BHP and 44 ft/lbs of torque
Gutted airbox, free flowing exhausts and ignition mod made 61BHP and 48 ft/lbs
865 barrels and CR 35 carbs made 69BHP and 59 ft/lbs torque and making maximum torque at 4100rpm
So for some second hand barrels and pistons and second hand CR 35 Keihin Smoothbores and a bit of DIY cleaning up of the inlet tracts
