Hi all

Thanks for your help so far with my TR77 restoration. Today I got the top end on, the timing done, a spark, and most of the parts left ready to bolt on (waiting for a pushrod oilseal and the paintwork to come back). I'm sure that I'll be asking for more help, but here is the bike as of tonight. :-)

Great job of the TR77, the Suzuki racer looks interesting too.

 

Thanks.

 

The Suzuki racer is a 1967 Suzuki T20 250cc bike. I've raced it for about 10 years and won a few Championships on it too! You can read about my T20 Suzuki's (both a Road and a Race bike) at www.t20suzuki.com This site is old-school and dated now, but has lots of info if you have one of these bikes. :-)

Here's me racing it at Redgate corner, Donington Park:

Thank you for the link, that will provide some interesting reading.

Does the TR77 have shorter fork stanchions fitted, they do not appear to protrude through the upper yoke as do the normal type.

I'm not sure about that. I've no experience whatsoever of these bikes. I have heard though that you should drop the forks through the yokes, but until you reminded me, I'd forgotten that. I'd better drop them through a bit! :-)

No need to if you have the shorter forks fitted, the ones on my TR77 are the longer type so need to be set lower.

If the spindle centre to top measurement is around 29"-30" then the forks are short ones, those on my bike measure 32" with 2" above the yoke.
