Hello.Ive been in touch with Jimmy ref pipes and pretty much agree with Karl. I did just spend an hour typing out the various pipes and porting i have tried along with some other tips only to find that it had taken me over an hour and lost it when i came to post!. Lovely.I will try to re do it on Monday when im back from racing.Very best wishes,Vince. P.S. I will try to load some photos of a few mods then as well.

Regards,
Steve

hey guys, spoke to Richard Taylor and he has done some port work on B/stones. His specialty is Hodakas. He also sent me to Jemco for pipes, might screw around and find enough stuff to do this.

I still would like to buy some new parts if they exist. New cyclinders, heads, pistons, rotary valves, gaskets, seals, piston rings, pins and bearings, crank bearings.Clutch plates and springs. Anyone got anything, let me know.

JM

I have pistons and rings for the SR175. Probably some of the other parts as well.

Steve, my mistake, guess it will be June or Sept. But all depends on when I am ready.

Kevin, what all do you have

[drtracr]

Karl, talked to Corey Moore last night, what a nice guy. Invited me over to see his collection. Says he has the first Stone he ever got in 1965 restored and its in his bedroom.

He wants to come out and help. Maybe we should just make this a Bridgestone club project and we all show up at the attempt.

Full list of all the NOS parts I have is on my website.

BSRACER, Paul, you posted a picture of a case side with bigger carb spigots, did you do those or who did.

Karl, I would like to come up and get the 200 and anything else I can get this week or the weekend, What day is best for you.
Jimmy

[OldSwartout]

We're busy tomorrow, but otherwise, just give me a call to make certain nothing has come up. Nothing planned for the next week or two (benefits of being retired  ). 317-996-3727

[drtracr]

Me too.

Karl, trying to get all my crap done, have my race truck and rat rod on ebay, hope to get them out of my shop by weekend. Having to deal with insurance co on my truck, allfully busy for a man with no job.

One other thing, the farings you use, got any ideas on finding something.

Jimmy,
I thought you going to run the bike sans fairing.
Can you run it naked, then turn around and mount a fairing for another attempt at a different class record?
How is the bike and parts collecting going?
Do you have lined up pretty much what you need, even if you don't have it all yet???

Regards,
Steve

Hey Jimmy,

I had Rob North make the rotary covers. Those pics were in the ruff stage. I'll take a couple pics of the finished covers. Kent at Airtech adapted a Yamaha TD1 fairing to a Bridgestone 175 and 350 a couple of years ago. I'll dig up some photos of those as well and post them up.

Airtech has lots of choices which could be adapted.
They even have some specialized LSR fairings.

Mine is a also a replica of a TD1, I believe; got it from Sakis Vasilopoulos in Florida. He may have another, but not certain. It has to be spread a little to clear the carbs on the side.  A better choice might be the Airtech A1R fairing since it has "pods" on the sides to clear carburetors.

[ztnoo]

The LSR specific fairings look pretty "slick" too, much more so than a RR fairing.

Well guys, just  lived through the worst tornado in history and deadlist. All my neighbors are devesitated, but my home and shop were spared. Shop is full or water, but no big gdeal.We have no power for at least another 2 days. What a month of April. My truck and tractor burned up, now this. We are blessed that all the damage we have is fences down.
Okay back to Bridgestones. Yes I can bolt on a fairing and run two more classes. I still don't have everything lined up but getting close, was going to Karls this weekend to pickup 200, but will have to wait untill Tue, or Wed.

Jimmy,
Wow! I'm sure you are thanking your lucky stars and saying your prayers.
What unbelievable, horrific, and total devastation through the South, but particularly in Alabama.
Unless someone has lived through a direct hit like those storms delivered, none of us can really imagine the horror Mother Nature can bring in a few minutes.
Hang in there.
Glad you and yours are OK.
Regards,
Steve
