Pan European; short notes

Used mildly, it was probably good for nearly 200 miles. IIRC I was getting
closer to 130-140 in normal use, but the reserve shenanigans were pretty
effective aversion therapy.

 

platypus says...

Treat the Daytona nicely and you'll get 50 miles after the light comes
on, there is no reserve.

What is this light you speak of? Chug city, and grope for the tap.

Oh K100s handle well enough; ask Champ he's seen me throw an old RT
around rather enthusiastically. The 1100 handles more 'comfortably' but
has a lot more slop in the steering (even with new headraces).
Personally I'd rather ride the 1100 but if I was trying to go 'fast'
through corners I'd prefer a 100. Mind you, I don't know if there's any
significant difference between the RS and RT.

 

Well, call me what you want. I've got loads of data that keeps me
amused.

 

It really is a trivial matter to take the rubber out of the bar mounts. A
steering damper is an akward proposition but a K75S "Fluid Block" damper
which fits in the steering head make a big difference.

 

I understand that Daytona (1200) cams go in a Trophy a treat and _really_ up
the power.
Brings them up to the full power models of the early ones, (91 > 95).
If anybody has a set, I might be interested in buying them ;o)

That's worth knowing. Mine will need new head races in a year or so, and
I might ask Brian Giles to fit one of those, if it's as good as you say.

 

Well it is no replacement for a proper steering damper but it is an
improvement and piss easy to fit. Basically two plastic rings in an
interference fit with a fancy gell lube.
Get him to un-rubber the bar mounts at the same time!

 

Homoerotic upgrade.

Barebacking, too.
