So I'm pretty pumped right now. My first build is coming along. Have a couple things done so far, but have more planned. Right now I have;
•Race plastics
•R/r relocated to under battery tray
•Keyless ignition
•Ebay gas cap that I want to replace
•Shorai battery
•Rsr shock linkage
•SES rearsets in gp shift
•Pazzo levers
•Arrow slip on
•Race air filter
•Carbon4u tail. I have a superbike tail, but don't have the tools to make a bracket yet.
Have a list of to does before it hits the track that hopefully get done before the end of January. I need case covers and sliders all around. Then it's hitting the shop for a complete suspension refresh, vave check, and dyno. Does anyone have any suggestions that I should have done to the suspension, besides new springs to my weight. Or any suggestions at all? I'll get some pictures up later today of how she's currently sitting.
675 is a great racing platform! I hung up my race boots 3yrs ago and have finally decided to part out my 675. I may have the engine cases (Woodcraft) you are looking for and possible rear shock....custom built penske. Feel free to PM if interested or if we are similar in size/weight for the shock. Thanks!
Congrats on the bike and good luck with the build.
Most important items are a taller windscreen, case covers/sliders, rearsets, and clip-ons.
Engine wise, get the SAI removal done, disable the exhaust valve, and get a proper tune to go along with your exhaust. The tune is a HUGE deal and I recommend getting pretty familar with TunEcu (search for it on this site) and learning how to tweak the quickshifter kill times, disable the exhaust valve, SAI and clear engine codes if that ever happens.
I just had my suspension refreshed (no valving changes) but I did add on a rear ride-height adjuster clevis to the stock TTX36 which helped get the rear up where it needed to be. I would highly recommend it after you get some seat time on the bike. Cheers!
+1 on getting familiar with TuneECU. The proper cord to connect to your laptop can be had for $20 on amazon. The cheapest and most significant mod in my opinion, other than sprockets.
Let us know how much the bill is for your valve check...was curious how much that ran at a triumph dealer..

The shop I contacted just had there triumph guy leave so they won't tear apart a triumph unless it's basic. Kind of unfortunate. I'll just do it myself since that is the case. Might as well get familiar with it now while it won't be running for a bit. I an to have this bike for a while. The only triumph dealer near me I don't trust. Does tune ecu work on macs? I only have a desktop, but the girlfriend has a mac book. I also have rjl pads thar are going on once I stop being lazy. And ya your right about the money pit. I feel like I've spent a fortune already and it's not even ready yet. In the mean time I'm trying to get my little 690 duke commuter/canyon killer to the track. Pretty dope bike for cheap.
Sounds like you're on the way to a good track build. I'd add a T3 Racing steering limiter to your list (http://shop.t3-racing.co.uk/steering-limiter-170-p.asp) . I put one on my track bike and reckon it's worth the money to save banging the bars into the tank in a crash.
Well here's a couple of pictures of how she sits now. Took her for a ride the neighborhood and I'm not sure if I'm feeling the gp shift or not. These are much smoother then my woodcrafts, but I had an issue with clearance between the shift linkage end and the chain. Only had a few mm's of clearance and didn't want to trust that. I'll toss them back on and see what you guys think it should be safe.
Ya I did have the bushing in. It cleared, but it was damn close. I only have the sides. Left side is. Right side has some small scuffs. I'm in san diego.
Christmas is killing my funds right now. I might have surgery for my shoulder coming up within the next few months so my main focus right now is to just get it up and running so i might have the time get a couple of track days out of it. If I can't make it out in time I'll probably put a bunch of money into while im out for those couple of months recovering and make sure it has atleast most of the goodies to make it a proper track bike. About to buy a spot with Trackdaz at chuckwalla on the 26th with a few buddies so maybe i'll see some of you out there. Anyone have experience with them?
I'm looking to do the R/R relocation on my 09, can anyone help point me in the direction of a wiring kit to get it hooked into the stator and battery directly, or a how to? I hate balancing the thing inside the fairing
Just found a new problem. My r/r is running super hot. Bubbled the insulation on some wiring on the harness side of one of the plugs. The wiring got so hot it melted a bump in my fairings where I just tucked it under for test ride around the block before I went to re route through the frame. Think it's just the r/r or a bad ground somewhere? I'm hoping it didn't do any more damage further down.
