Can anyone advise if the longer fork tube for the TR80 will fit the MAR legs please, and also are the fork caps the same thread? (think the TR80 caps are different)
Wanting to use on a Triumph project.
Thanks
Hey Snarly - Have NJB Trixshocks, and they are good for the average rider, and good value also. I am getting a pair of his new Ultimate shocks when I ever get a response from him.
Go a bit longer than standard also (360mm?) to quicken the steering.
Best mod is Sammy Miller mid box and no club foot. Slightly loud, (though a nice note), but a lot more quiet than the standard mid box without the club foot.
Have same problem on Frontera with Mukini. Best (but not as tidy), run longer hose under and over. Plus gives you more fuel to get through a section if you forget to turn the fuel on.
NOS Mahle pistons are best if you can get one, but I recently obtained a newish one for a M180 and the boss had to be filed out to enable the thrust washers to fit. It also did not have drilled oilways in the bosses but had off square ends instead.
M212 fits M158, and M199 fits M158. So length is good. Only thing I found swapping tanks is the underside clearance to the pipe varies. But the glass tank will take a fair bit before it burns through. LOL!
Looks like everyone's asleep over there.
If it is a M212 or M213, yes it mat be the flywheel magnets. Had a faulty flywheel on a new M212 (intermittent starting) and have since known of two others. Best to borrow another flywheel to try, doesn't have to be an alpina one.
I have one on my M199, (wide opening)
Pain in the butt to repack, have to unpick the edge to split it in two. Has a flat perforated plate up the middle - open one side, packing the other. They block up very easily at the end.
Light weight, with a loud bark at open throttle.
