A coupe final pics... everything went together well and with minimal issue. I cleaned as I went along so it took a little longer that expected. My Nology wires broke again so I had to borrow Karens. A few details still need to be done. Need to fit the cheese garters and side cover. Ill do that after the first 20 mile run. Here she is minus seat... I wish my back could handle one of those low profile seats... it looks so wicked low slung like that. This was moments before I fired her up. Maybe if Friar is nice hell embed the video so everyone can see and hear the beast awaken!

WOW! Just WOW! She had a bit of a struggle to start but when she did it was like a pissed off best. The sound is so different than what it was. Its deeper, stronger and those clacking carbs (I forgot FCRs clack at idle) make for some interesting noises coming form my baby. I had the throttle a bit tight and it took me a minute to get the idle down. The kid in the video is my neighbor. He was pointing out a few small spots that were smoking. Probably drops of oil or whatever I missed during the wipe down. I can't give you any feedback on performance yet cause the first 50 miles was to be held at low rpm (3000-3500 with short burst up to about 5k. I only did 20 miles today and Ill do the other 30 tomorrow. To keep my rpms that low I had to keep it in lower gears (or do I mean higher gears... I was cruising at 3000 in 3rd or fourth and keeping to the speed limit) so the burst weren't that memorable. I think its time for new throttle cables. Mine have been a bit sticky and after bending the ends at the carbs they tend to be a bit stickier now. Heres a little video to give you an idea. First start

Yesterday was the first 20 and they were good. The bike was running and idling, high but idling. Throttle was sticky and me being paranoid wasn't pushing it too hard. Most of yesterdays excitement was the fact that she started and ran. TODAY... Karen and I got geared up and we headed out. Not even two miles into it the bike was sputtering and backfiring. Just a mess. Low power even on flat land. Just horrible. What happened.... when I fired it up it was idling too high. I turned the idle adjustment and got it down but I turned it too far out so it wasn't even screwed in anymore. The sticky throttle is what kept me idling in the driveway but when I got out there it was just not running. We turned around and headed home. I had three things to think about... 1- spark plugs - I had to repair my Nology wires till my TPUSA wires arrive next week. 2 - idle adjuster screw needed to be reset. 3 - what have I gotten myself into... oh wait... I wonder if I was really supposed to transfer over the "hidden filter"...hmmmm. Got it in the garage and out came the carbs. - reset idel screw. - pulled "hidden filter" - pulled Karens plug wires and there them in the bag in case that was an issue. - This time when I attached the throttle cables I got them as far down as I could. Carbs back on I pulled it out and got it fired. Set idle at about 1000. Check throttle and it snapped back.  She idles and throttle is as it is supposed to be. Get her out of the neighborhood and stab throttle on a starlight shot... Hmmm... I don't remember getting pulled back like that yesterday and certainly not with the bike the way it was before. A couple twisties and another straight shot. Downshift, slow down and stab throttle... BAM! Here we go again... Who keeps pulling at my collar!!! 25 miles later and Im almost home. A nice mellow set of twisty lakeside road and an uphill climb to get back to the neighborhood. A red light and Im at pole position... Hmmmm Green light, GO! 1st, 2nd, 3rd and it was like someone hit the NOS button (but I don't have NOS). Look down and I was at 7000K and still pulling. Let off throttle and back down to legal speeds but no one can see my ****** eating grin across my grill. Total mileage now is about 55 since the build and she's feeling better. I remember the motor starting to feel better at about 100 miles when I first got the bike. Im starting to feel the same now. Ill change the oil later tonight and get her filled up for the next 500 miles. My "what have I gotten myself into" feeling is gone Oh.... and as of getting home... no oil seeping anymore. Ill check it again in a bit and see if I can see anything then.

I don't know if its a touch. If think If I had the touch its be a 100hp/100tq by just jetting eh! I have some funds (not anymore), I have some literature, a great support structure (Carlos from TPUSA and you buys and girls here) and I have an understanding fiancé. All of that makes for some good times!

So I rode to work today. Luckily I had to go to one of my furthest locations so it was just over 200 miles round trip. This was the second stage of break in per the instructions Carlos sent me. Ill head down to drain the oil as soon as I type this up but I did want to provide an update. Ive got that idle nice and sorted so now I need to learn how to get this thing to start (on a cold morning) without it sounding like a cannon blast.  The bike feels great and sounds awesome...still! No leaking, no weeping, no seeping. I don't know where it came form but its all staying in the crankcase as it should :thumb up: She accelerates like a bat outta hell and having that TTP (Triumph Twin Power) igniter sure is nice. No more bouncing off the redline. Thing is Im actually scared to try and get it to the redline. Another nicety is that when you crack the throttle the MPH seem to go up as fast as the RPM (not literally but damn that needle moves). And last but not least.... I was getting right at 40MPG.  Yup... 40 miles per gallon. Thats better than what I was getting before all these mods. Go figure.

The no choke cold start  I can share with you how I get mine started. In some ways easier than the CVKs. Harder to start but easier to keep running.
For dead cold starts, I turn in the idle screw at least a full turn. Slowly twist the throttle 5-6 times to use the accelerator pumps to prime the carbs. With the throttle closed (and key on) push the start button. It should fire right up, if it does and dies right away, wind up the idle some more, and repeat the above. Or if you have a throttle lock you can use that instead.
when it warms up wind the idle back out. I usually do this while riding.
Do you have your TPS connected? If so, it will start easier than if not connected.

Yes TPS is connected.
I was thinking I was either going to have to lock the throttle or turn the idle adjuster up. Ill keep experimenting and see which one works best for me. Thanks

I havent ridden since the 200 mile ride I had a few days ago. Weather has been crap. Today is sunny and Karen and I will be heading out for sure. Ill update more on that later.
I did want to take a moment to tell you all about what customer service is.
If you read the first installment of this thread you know how much time I have spent talking to Carlos at TPUSA. One might even say that after wasting that much of their (both Carlos and TPUSA) time the least I could do is spend a few bucks there. With most places that is where it stops. Maybe a few more emails or conversations about some assembly questions but at some point most places start to get short. Once they have your money thats it... deal is done. Not Carlos! No way man!
He has often made the comment "call me after" or "let me know". We have all had someone or someplace say that to us but the reality is we don't usually follow up. Its almost an expectation in todays world.
Nope.... not that guy (Carlos). I think if the situation was a little different he'd probably be calling me every day! :thumb up:
He took the time to read through this whole thread and get a feel for how the build was progressing.
He has talked me through the issues (not many issues, more concerns on my part) and what I have learned is that EVERY THING he has said to me has been dead on! No joke!
He views every customer not just as a customer he sold parts to but more as his very own build. He wants the build to be as good as it can possibly be and is willing to spend the time on the phone with you (he likes the phone more than email).
What I like most is the step by step approach he takes. That is a bit odd for some, it has been for me, as most places will give you a list of things to try and just let you go at it. He has leaned over the years that for every change there is a result that guides you to the next. If you don't follow that path you wind up someplace completely different.
I gotta tell you... I strongly and highly recommend TPUSA and Carlos to anyone that intends on doing anything performance based. Ill also warn you... You better be ready to be supported in way you never have before. This also means you need to change your mindset and check your ego (I had to). If you can do that Il know cause of that shiteating grin you'll have.

Z you could not be anymore spot on about Carlos. I bought a 904 kit from him going on 4 years ago and his service was impeccable. At that same time the infamous Fast Fred ripped me off for a head, set of carbs, billet intakes and the cash up front to do the work. Carlos did everything he could to help me out and he did not know me from Adam. The cicumstances kind of took the wind out of my sails and I have yet to install the kit. About 3 months ago I starting thinking about starting over and getting the FCR's and head work done so I called Carlos. He remembered me and the circumstances like it was yesterday. Now I just have to move forward with the plan and Carlos will be the man I do business with.

OK... Its been a few days and the bike is starting much better now. No its not by magic or voodoo... its by tuning (specifically the slow jet and A/F mix screw). The Main, Pilot and Needle tuning will come later on the dyno. Thing is I can't tell you what I did. Well, I can but it won't matter to you if you own a set of these carbs cause each bike is different based on a number of things. Same goes for jetting our OEM carbs but there are less variables (unless your B02S4  ). Example... Carlos runs a 1087 fully built motor and his jetting is (I forget which one) is smaller than mine right now. What I can tell you is that my bike is thirsty and I foresee that 40mpg I was getting pretty much going out the window soon. Cest La Vie! With guidance form Carlos and a few adjustments I have gone from having to hold the throttle open while starting and a massive backfire and high idle to a few blips of the throttle (I said blips not turns) a push of a button and a smooth startup that won't make me cring and make my neighbors hate me. Tomorrow morning will get me another step closer to a perfect start and Im sure there will be a few more adjustments. As of right now starting is night and day. No offense to Mag10 but Im able to start without having to monkey with my idle screw as of this morning. Man, what a relief! You know whats gonna kill me.... next year when I go to a 994 big bore. Everything Im doing now will go back to square one and I get to do it all over again  Only 440 more miles till I can get her on a dyne THEN really open her up.

None taken, I suspect my 'cold' is a fair amount colder than yours. When I leave for work this time of year it is still in the mid 20's (like today) and the bike is way cold, and the ride is brisk.
glad to hear you are enjoying the ride and look forward to seeing the dyno sheets.

You know, I've been trying to take it easy, but last night I was on the way home from a friend's house, turned onto this long exit ramp, and couldn't help myself. I held it wfo through a couple gears...awesome. I was grinning the rest of the way home.

Hi Sir;
John is confused, his bike and my bike, both 1087's are giving 50 miles per gallon at freeway speed ( 75 MPH constant in 5th gear).
Under hard riding conditions the average goes down to 38/40 MPG.
I hope this help.
PS: I really appreciate the props from all of you guys!
Hope all of you have a lot of fun for many years to come!

We need a smiley that does backflips... NW Lunch in Chehalis Wa is this weekend and that will easily put me over the 500 mile break in mark (if I don't do it sooner). That means I switch to synthetic oil which means I can freely let her rip (with caution as I don't know my actual a/f ratio for sure). May 8th at 9am the bike goes to the dyno for a tuning session. Of course I will post those results here as well as some butt dyno impressions and maybe even a ride by video

One of these day's Carlos is going to get all my money. I'm going to pack Elvira up and ship her off to California to get the full 1087 treatment. I'm even going to let them keep it till they get it past the break in and have it all tuned up nice and sweet. When I get her back I'm going to ride her like a rented mule. Ah yes... one day, one day.

Since a 1087 is a stroked 994 its only one step further (removing the crank since the engine cases will be split anyway. Carlos was telling me that its a bit much for a cruiser... but can you REALLY ever have too much I keep running circles in my head about this. I keep telling myself I don't want that much power on such a light bike. I don't think its working.

Tons of power in a light bike = fun, fun, fun it would seem to me. It's thinkin' outside the box and I like that. Z, you are an inspiration!
