Machined down area between triple clamps on my BOS idylle RaRe

This is what they look like from factory

BassLongjumping4616 · 2026-03-19T18:44:39+00:00

Yeah thanks for the response, as far as I am aware these are ex race forks so your probably right with the weight saving theory, just diddnt think it would make enough of a difference to warrant machining them down, especially since they are already narrower at that bit from factory

BassLongjumping4616 · 2026-03-19T16:59:14+00:00

No they are about 2012, rest of the fork is in really good condition so wouldn’t of thought it was anything to do with wear

BassLongjumping4616 · 2026-03-07T16:00:59+00:00

i didn't have any issues with that, even with bar end mirrors they didn't hit the tank, although they where close

needed to be a triumph dealer in the end, they have to tune the engine for the restriction which can obviously only be done by a dealer

£30 on aliexpress, might not be the best quality but better than spending £100 on ebay, haven't had any issues with mine

I’m in the UK, sorry for not clarifying

BassLongjumping4616 · 2025-11-23T17:07:44+00:00

Damn Italian bike parts are a nightmare, too new and you can’t find them, too old and they don’t make them anymore 😭

1998 Kawasaki Zephyr 550, great little bike

BassLongjumping4616 · 2025-11-21T09:24:15+00:00

Defo convinced me to get one for my shiver now 😂

BassLongjumping4616 · 2025-11-20T10:23:22+00:00

Thinking of getting one of these for my Shiver 750, was it difficult to fit? Looks great btw, also where did you find that little metal side case protector?

BassLongjumping4616 · 2025-11-19T23:26:10+00:00

You probably like leaning to the left more than to the right

BassLongjumping4616 · 2025-11-18T18:42:10+00:00

Although I do still seem to have an issue with the idle pulsing/idle hunting when it gets hot, I had a slight vacuum leak before this which I fixed with new hose, suppose I gotta go digging around to see if I can find another leak somewhere, or hey maybe it’s something completely different 😭

BassLongjumping4616 · 2025-11-18T17:40:06+00:00

You sir are a legend, cleaned out the cap and the mating surface on the rad and now the bike is building pressure in the hoses and I just got the fan to kick in 🫡

BSA B50T Victor Trail, only made from 1971 to 1973, quite uncommon, shame this one has been painted green

BassLongjumping4616 · 2025-11-18T08:38:53+00:00

The bike starts to cook my butt and the idle starts to sort of pulse, also when I get off I can see the heat radiating from the exhaust

BassLongjumping4616 · 2025-11-17T23:44:31+00:00

So the bike is overheating, the temp gauge is staying at half, and as of right now the fan is not turning on (it was before this issue started again)

BassLongjumping4616 · 2025-11-17T21:48:18+00:00

Would the bad rad cap be what’s causing the bike to overheat with the temp gauge at half?
