Yes Rob, I reprofiles a bit to clear. You also have to bring out the RH rider peg a little which I didn't mind as the LH rider peg also needs bringing out a little to help with the typical TC sidestand/exhaust/pegs issue.
I made new support pins and spacers to keep it looking as stock as possible.

Re: Stardust TC
Now pretty much all done apart from the top end refresh.
77mm bore (1230cc), Megacycle turbo cams, ported & flowed head. All in most excellent condition so It's just getting a valve lap job, new viton stem seals, APE valve springs and vernier dialled in cams. Composite base gasket and MLS head gasket.
A few coats os satin black then it's time to bolt the turbo system back on.

Re: Stardust TC
Looking nice Will, and judging how the one at DK is ramping up the bids, a sound investment as well.
Re: Stardust TC
the reserve on the DK one is about 23.5K...sticker price in the showroom is 25k

Finished at £17.6K so a fare bit short.

Love or hate eBay the process will always find a fairly accurate market value, give or take for a little auction fever.
Re: Stardust TC
All done, just waiting for main & pilot jet to arrive then I can fire her up and retorque head.
Just need to get it registered now but hopefully that'll be straight forward as I have the title too.

Re: Stardust TC
Looking Fab Will.
Get your application in now - can take 4-5 weeks even if everything is in order.

Re: Stardust TC
Will do Garry.
Fired up instantly and idles perfectly, a rarity with these oversized turbo bikes but the big capacity helps keep the turbine spinning at very low RPM.
The rotor seems to be spinning on the crank as the starter is slipping despite new rollers and springs plus replacement starter. There's no woodruff key on the crank and I suspect this is the problem area.

Hi Big Fluff
congratulations! She's a beauty!
Be careful when riding her. I heard that the TC is a monster when it comes to accelerations.
Enjoy!

Re: Stardust TC
It’s a stunner!
Re: Stardust TC
Looks lovely, what's under the cover ( 911 or 356 maybe)?
