My dual 650 Triumph first start up
« on: August 30, 2016, 01:48:31 PM »
 This is may latest Triumph LSR race bike...I have been building it in my shop of horrors for about 7 months... Custom frame, two full house 1956 Triumph 40's (650),about 65 HP each @7300 rpm... Harley 5 speed and clutch, home made primary drive. I also believe this is the first dual engine bike with an onboard electric start...The engines have just a few minutes running time when the video was taken an hour ago...

That is awesome (in the true meaning of the word! :-)
Well done, and I'm looking forward to see that thing fly!

It's probably a good thing I don't have a sound card in my desk computer right now  :boozing:

That's absolutely fantastic!  I noticed you wrote put your cam lobe centers on the timing covers - great idea!  Many moons ago i built a BSA A65 into an 845cc firebreather.  Ended up with lobe center at 104.5 deg (single cam) - ran like stink off a shovel... ;)

Nice piece of engineering right there Rough Edge... Wow.  Being a huge Pre-Unit fan for many years, I know just how those long stroke engines produce at a good RPM range.

Excellent job.  Yeah, I wanna see it run down the stretch too...  Varooom...!
Best,
Rob

GeeZus, what a noise...  I cannot stop watching (listening) to that...! 

I could not help from notice the forward engine being a genny engine and the rear an alternator...  Love those Pre-Unit profiles.  What about the lumps in the Magneto holes.. are they something special er wot..? 

Sweet..!

   Pazon electronic ignition magneto conversions.... I probably have 1000 hours of shop time into the bike...My rider has paid 90 percent of the parts cost...A few thousand more than a new big bore Guzzi...

I got to see it run in person yesterday.  Truly, truly impressive :thumb:
Tony's goal was to create this beast by himself in the garage. 
I've watched it grow and now take it's first rumbling thumpy steps
