TRIUMPH 241 HEAVEN

Photo: Magic hour on the Bonneville Salt Flats. Spent 7 or 8 hours tearing down the bike to pull the heads for a displacement check to certify my record and then putting it all back together. Now we have an appointment to keep with our neglected friends, Food and Booze. Not necessarily in that order. - Tyler #speedweek #bonneville2013 #gyronautx1 #redlinersracing

Very fast on a 241 Triumph

Only 3 days in and Tyler from Lowbrow Customs and his bike Double Vision are having a Speedweek people dream of


That is the smile of a man who backed up a 136.073 mph qualifying run with  145.009 mph to set a new record of 140.21 mph (up from the previous 128 and then ....
Photo: I got to sit in the Gyronaut X-1 and then Bob Leppan came to impound and checked out my dual engine Triumph and talked shop. A great day. - Tyler #speedweek #bonneville2013 #redlinersracing
 He gets to sit in the Gyronaut X-1 & shoots the breeze with Bob Leppan ...
.. then his third run earns him a class C license and another night in impound with a 151.4 mph run


Photo: Tyler checking his timing slip, 151.4mph! This gets him his class C license and sends us back to impound! #redliners #bonneville2013 #speedweek

'ED TURNER

Just to show that reversed head Triumph do work! It's a short clip so don't blink!!


Longsue-This came in the post

These came through the other day,nice repro Webco Starburst rocker caps.Very nice quality, threads are good and fit really nicely.
I know that head needs my attention and it will get it, polishing and new bolts are on the list of to do's




Tried one on the gearbox ,thought it looked good so may go for another set. May just stick the spare ones on Ebay, or if you give me a shout I'm  sure we can do a deal!

I LIKE THIS!

Been awhile since I posted anything drag related, I like the look of this set up. Can't remember where I found this so can't tell you anything about it, just enjoy!
