No Jackals For Sale?

[cwiseman]

Funny, I just helped my buddy fire up Kips old Lario in my shed this evening. He had sent the heads off to Ace for some attention.

The one that I put new jets in only to have no spark and then moved around the garage and had the front caliper piss all over the floor. Besides kip called first dibs when he offered me his lario. I think I'd gladly get rid of it if I could get it running good.

Kip...? ? ?   I don't want to nudge a brother away from the dinner table but I asked you that about five years ago or longer...   
Yeah, those Lockheed calipers eat seals for some reason, probably dry up.

Which color is the Trident...?

Besides. All I have here for trading is the V11 Jackal...

Best,
rad

its Cardinal red, for a 41 year old unrestored bike it does look pretty good. Like I told my wife last night I should quit looking at newer triumphs and just put a few thousand in the pocket of someone with better skills than my own.

Funny how some guys don't like the single disc brake.  I never had any issues with it.

When I got my Jackal it had a warped front single disc. Stopped fine, perfectly adequate, but the shudder pulling at traffic lights pissed me off.
I got a pair of wave blade discs off ebay ($150USD) and a caliper ($300SD off a ducati. Can buy much cheaper if you shop around the wreckers.) and now it stops scary fast!
Awesome braking with twin discs now. The way it should be, though, the "One finger braking" habit under normal circumstances is a bit scary when you REALLY NEED TO STOP QUICK! It's a bit of a transition back to a handfull of brakes in an emergency.

Took the OL tail light assembly off and getting ready to make it look just like yours. Did you just paint over the center stand or do something different ?

Hi Phil.
I got a used centre stand from TLM in Germany and had it chromed before fitting. It does grind on left hand corners, so there is an annoying scratch/rust on the spot. I go over the scratch with silver paint occasionally to keep the rust at bay.

Also had to fit a chrome footpeg (hand grip) on the left just under the seat to lift the bike onto the centre stand. If you look hard you can see it here, sticking out next to the rear shock:



Good luck with your bike.
