Re: hi from newbie 2tk owner
Nah mate its been stood 2 year, last ran a year ago, owner seems genuine honest fella so I,m sure it will be as sweet as he said it is when the carbs are clean, might strip them as the airbox is off anyway, actually yes I,ll do that.pastures16 wrote:didnt you have it running when up picked her uphipringle wrote:I was hoping someone could tell me where the bracket fits thats in me hand lol.
gonna have a go at getting it started tommorow I think. drain the carbs & start afresh, fingers crossed.
mine deff needs a new chain, its that rusty its hard to push around lol.
I,ve got a compressor in the garage so I,ll blow some cobwebs out too cheers!
Think the headers have to come off to change the paper oil filter

Re: hi from newbie 2tk owner
Hiya
Yep its a 2tk....Aluminium subframe....4 pots on the front...... factory fitted bobbin mounts on the swinger.... smaller cdi.(probably has 2tk written on it)..... fancy shock with resevoir.
The rear tank brackets are like hens teeth... they just bolt across the aluminium subframe and bolt through the tank and seat. Fowlers told me they were no longer made. I had to wait ages/ buy complete bikes for mine.
The front of your tank just needs a rubber strap...cheap as chips from fowlers (give them a 2tk chassis number though or they will be stroppy)
