Thanks Rudie For Info On 73 Daytona

[3 TriumphT100R]

The only stumbling block was I 4got to order wheel weights when I changed the tires. Found some. My question today is, as with the Daytona, I want to ride with lower rpms on my 79 Bonneville. Fron is 20 and rear is 47. I would never have thought that I would be so happy @ 60-65 mph ! Great ride on the Norton the other day as I had the road to myself and it was a nice cool day. I appreciate all input and as I return to being myself, I will become a paying member of this great forum. Everyone is helpful and I hope I can contribute in the near future. BYW, my experiment with Mystery oil in the forks was a resounding success !! Cleaned them out and I believe I will continue to use it.

Ime, any late T100 - 18 tooth gearbox sprocket as standard - benefits from an increase to 19 teeth.

However, ime the same cannot be said for a 750 twin. Their engine rpm is already low at 60-65 mph in top gear, if you do not change down when you want to accelerate, you are in danger of lugging the engine, risking damaging detonation. The engine was not made by Hardly Dangerous ...
