#1 Hi everyone!
I have been without any music for a few years now and have just built a little gainclone and bought some Wharfedale diamonds until I can get around to making some speakers.
Not the greatest of systems but at least I have something to listen too!
If anyone knows where I can get a good kit for enclosures to use some JX92S drivers in I'd love to hear from you.

Biker for the past 30+ years! Guess the tl1000r was bit of a give-away..... Though sadly they are both but memories and I now ride a Bandit.. I do have the full Akrapovic system which helped the tlr's play music of a different type...!
Do you ride pre65?

I have a KTM450 enduro which is road legal and two classic scramblers. A pre60 Tri-BSA 650 and a pre65 Triumph 650 Metisse. I have had proper road bikes (GS750, VF750F, XS1100, BMW K100, Triumph Trophy 900, Triumph Sprint 900, BMW K1100RS) but find the roads too dangerous for bikes these days.geofftl1000r wrote:

The BMW R80 is up to 82,000 at the minute, the Guzzi is about 60,000 but that's a guestimate really.

All my mates I rode with had Dukes...... was great to spank them all on the TLR..... less then half the price and twice the fun.....
My 3 year old Bandit has just passed the 40K mark and going strong. I have the maps for the ECU somewhere and intended to remove the 100hp limit but have never got around to it.
I worked with a friend in the usa for a year, he had a bike shop and we built drag bikes amongst all the boring oil and tyre changes. We had our own Busa running a supercharger at around 28 psi. Was a great bike to ride. The street bikes ran closer to 12 psi and still ran 260HP at the rear wheel.... only bike I've ever been 200+mph on!
I was tempted to try a low boost 7-8 psi, on the TLR but it was my only transport at the time and it was 1400 miles from Tulsa to NJ, reliability was important....the supercharged engines got hot!
Spent the afternoon trying to get some 3/4 mdf cut into size for some MLTL enclosures for the JX92 drivers I want to get....... tried 5 DIY places.....4 had broken saws! and the other guy couldn't cut pieces that small..? Try again tomorrow!

he'd had it about 18 months before he got posted to afghan, he just didnt like it when he got on it when he got back, said it was too frantic. suppose things change with circumstances.
re the mltls, could you get an 8x4 sheet and cut it with a circular saw and straight edge?

Wotcha geoff
I haven't ridden a bike since around '79 and back in the day had a scooter, a Lambretta LI 150 Mk 2 bored out to 175 and a Mk 3 fairing fitted.
But I suppose that doesn't really count as a bike does it?
After that a Royal Enfield Sports 250 for about 6 months, long gap, Yamaha Scrambler for a few months (1979) then nowt.
And that, as they say, is my entire motor cycling history.
