Sorry, not posted in a while! 🫡
We’ve recently had this one-of-one Triumph Tiger T800 on steroids a proper streamer engine cafe racer machine on the ramps.
It came to us with an oil leak from the rocker cover gasket, which had started to age and go hard around the usual camshaft dowels in the cylinder head, so we set about replacing that.
The fan wasn’t cutting in either, so the radiator switch was replaced. The temperature sensor had also failed through age-related issues, causing the digital dash to constantly flash a red temperature warning, even from cold. That was also sorted with a genuine Triumph part. 🫡
Whilst the bike was with us, the customer wanted it fully recommissioned after spending a few years resting. It had only covered 559 miles since being built, so we carried out a full service, coolant change, fluid changes, brake service and got the MOT sorted.
It’s now ready to tear up some tarmac again! 👍
Cafe Racer Kits is a Lincoln-based company selling high-quality, direct-fit cafe racer conversion kits for a selection of older motorcycles.
We’re really looking forward to seeing what they bring over for a session on the ramps next! 🧐
I believe they’re going to be putting this bike up for sale, as it was a prototype build that never went into full production. It really is a one-of-one, great-looking bit of kit! Very well built and designed parts wise and I Absolutely love the colour 👌 very madmax vibe toit and a marmite bike you either love or hate it..
So, if it’s a bit of you, get in touch with them before it’s gone! 🏍️💨💨
