Hi There,
I plan to make a list of all the changes I made on the Sunburst soon
I am waiting for more pics and video from last WE
Thanks
Yves
 
Hi There,
Here is the list from the changes I made on the Sunburst:
Change the gearing from 18 x 42 to 19 x 39
Change the Commando gearbox for my TTI 5 speed
Change the gearbox brackets to adapt to the E start and TTI gearbox
Change the shape from the oil tank to save place for the E start
Change the in and out coming places for the oil lines
Change the entire Commando clutch for the one from J.N. Gindrat
Change the belt from 30mm to 40mm (a must with the Gindrat E start)
Change the holder from the stator to save place for the 40mm bnelt
Put the E start from J.N. Gindrat on his place
Adapt the wiring for the E start
Make a alloy box for the Litium Battery (under the carbs)
Lowering the footrest with 8cm and make new brackets for it
Make a new bracket to hold the rear master cylinder in line with the brake pedal pushtod
Change the Brembo 16mm front master cylinder for a 14mm radial Brembo master cylinder
Change the petcocks for some with reserve
Change the inlet manifolds for the one from CNW (keep the carbs lower) but I keep the inlet tubes from Cumings to have the good lenght
Change the cranckase breather from behind the cranckase to the ditribution case
Put a catch bottel for the oil damp
Adapt the belt guard to the 40mm belt
Re-polish the alloy parts
Re-torque the head and check the valves clearences
Put a anmeter in the fairing
Put a oil filter

Still to do: find a solution for the Motogadget rec counter, the speed come in a small window and you can not read it when riding

As you see its a lot of work to do when you are not 100% pysical shape.
All the changes are a must with the E start, but I dont change anything from Kenny Cumings if it was not mandatory with my handicap or confort

Sunday I will try to do a 50 miles trip, hope I can do it....
Keep you posted

Honestly Yves, I bet all the modifications you are doing and planning are helping you recover faster. It's good for the spirit to have projects and lofty goals. I'm amazed at how fast you are recovering.

HI,
Yes its good to have a goal, it helps to support the pains when you are working, but you can not speak about fast recovering after 8 moonts

I forgot to say: I take the two headers from the Big Spender to put on the Sunburst, they are in stainless steel and sleeved on the head

Hi there,
To day I was going back to the hospital, two moonts to have an appiotment with THE specialist, well THE Specialist take a look at my knee wound with is infection and say: I don touch this! Imagine how happy I was: 8 moonts already with this wound. The problem is that no other chiurgical intervention can be done as long as the wound is not healt.
So I have a new appointment end August with the new King of the specialist and the intervention should take place in September.
I plan to go back to Matadi in former Belgium Congo where I spend the 10 first years of my life, to make a appointment with the local sorcerer, I am sure that this Medecine man will have better results with a mixt of crocodile shit and monkey anal hair.
Sunday I did a trip from 60 miles with the Sunburst, everithing OK, only painfull
Keep you posted
 
The croc shit will do it every time. Good fortune on getting the infection cleared up because the bike needs riding.
 
Hi Yves

"Medecine man will have better results with a mixt of crocodile shit and monkey anal hair."

Reminds me of one of my favourite jokes: I hope a laugh may help the healing process.

Subject: Great days of the British Empire

In the great days of the British Empire, a new commanding officer was sent to a South African bush outpost to relieve the retiring colonel.

After welcoming his replacement and showing the usual courtesies (gin and tonic, cucumber sandwiches etc.) which protocol decrees, the retiring colonel said, ‘You must meet my Adjutant, Captain Smithers, He’s my right-hand man and is really the strength of this office. His talent is simply boundless.’

Smithers was summoned and introduced to the new CO, who was surprised to meet a hunchback, one eyed, toothless, hairless, scabbed and pockmarked specimen of humanity, a particularly unattractive man less than three feet tall.

‘Smithers, old man, tell your new CO about yourself.’

‘Well, sir, I graduated with honours from Sandhurst, joined the regiment and won the Military Cross and Bar after three expeditions behind enemy lines. I’ve represented Great Britain in equestrian events and won a Silver Medal in the middleweight division of the Olympics. I have researched the history of…..’

At that point, the colonel interrupted, ‘Yes, yes, never mind that Smithers, he can find all that in your file. Tell him about the day you told the witch doctor to f--k *ff.’

HI there
Here are the latest news about the Sunburst, my health and a good joke to finish...
I received new materials for my polishing machine, so I did the Sunburst bright bits all over again and now I am satisfied about the ‘shine’
The digital rev counter from Motogadget has a small window where the speed is shown on verrrry small digits, even with my microscope installed on the dashboard you cannot read your speed!
I added a new digital display from Motogadget with big digits, must be OK now, I hope!
Last sunday I rode more than 200kms, it felt really good, even with the pain still there.
Not one doctor at the hospital in Vilvoorde is willing to take the risk to work on my wound, and as long the wound is no healed, no chirurgical intervention on my hip and knee is possible.
So I decided to go to another hospital and there, they will operate on my wound on Jully 23.

Now the joke:
The owner from a gun shop gives a call to his friend, the best sniper from the army: Hey Joe, come to the shop, I just received a new rifle, you must try it!
The sniper arrives at the gun shop, and the owner shows him the new rifle, there is also a new model of scope on it. « Do do you see my house on the mountain, 2 miles away? Well take the rifle and look at my house and tell me what you see. »
The sniper take the rifle and look at his friend house: wonderfull, I see in your living room, there is a fly on the TV, it s a male and now in your kitchen, the coffee is ready. Now I go upstair and I see your bedroom with your wife totaly nude and a guy that take is pants out.
What!!? says the shop owner, « I give you $100.000 and two bullets, if you shoot my wife in the head and on the guy’s dick! »
The sniper take the rifle and say: If I shot now we can save one bullet...

The witch doctor probably would have wrapped your knee with a dead chicken to get rid of the infection.

This is no joke, it's an actual technique employed by primitives. The dead chicken attracts flies which lay their eggs in it. The maggots hatch and feed on the dead flesh, including the infected parts of the human. By the time the dead chicken is so unbearably rotten and stinky it has to be removed, the infection is gone and the human healed.
 
and maggots are still in use today. i wonder how much they charge for medical grade maggots?

HI Danno,
The doctors at the hospital here are very very primitives, but they never use the trick with the dead chicken, they preffer a dead patient

Great joke Yves, keep getting well, there's plenty of summer left to ride the sunburst.
