Title: Amazing what you can find, when you look!
Post by zipidachimp on 07/13/21 at 11:55:55

Goofing through the interwebs last night, found these builds:
1. https://advrider.com/f/forums/some-assembly-required.83/page-6 (having trouble pasting actual page)
scroll down to 'Suzuki 650 BTS' (completed bike is on page 15 of build)

2. https://motorcyclemelee.com/manki-a-marriage-of-suzuki-and-manx-featherbed/

Cheers! 8-)

OHIO ! Thanks for posting those photos, something I'm clearly not capable of doing!
Rats!
Cheers! 8-)
ps: The first one confirms my belief that the S40 is a 'standard', not a cruiser.

That Mongrel is sweet. Looks so comfortable to ride, and a great job on the build.

I like that Mongrel. That last one looks more like a 70's honda may the 350sl. Cannot remember the model names with certainty.

I should probably quit wading through the interwebs, but it's too much fun:

Any comments, experience?

Lectron carbs have been around for a very long time - but for some reason they have not ever been universally accepted. I know that Harley riders have tried them as the flat slide would allow the carb to stick less than a round slide carb.

It appears they need to use a high idle speed.....maybe with the large Savage cylinder size they could idle in the 1,100 rpm range.

The kit with the Domino throttle would also require you to do something with the electrical controls on your right handlebar......it would likely be easier to make a throttle cable to fit your existing right throttle control.

Quote from their web page:

*Most 4 stroke engines idle around 1,500 – 2,400 RPMs this is where 4 stroke Lectrons function best but no lower.

The mongrel build was done by a member over at ADVRider. It was a cool build to follow, lots of details. I’d be happy to post a link, if that’s ok.

Here’s the link:

I think the big thumper looks great in the Norton.
