T575 Steam Triple

[garry55]

rear / upper adjustable engine mounts in place........



and with a bit of tweaking, the chain run is good, rear wheel axle, swing arm pivot and drive sprocket centres align, and my trusty spirit level says the motor is -



level

looks good garry i actually thought you'd given up with this build and concentrating with the benelli/triumph keep up the good work and keep upsetting the purists
cheers, dd.

Nice engine mounts. Just thought you might want to turn the rectifier/regulator up the other way to avoid water being funnelled in. I know it shouldn't leak but sods law says.....

[garry55]

the lower rear engine bushes - that replace the original rubber ones - and the anti-crush tube.........





and in situ..............

Looking good @Gary55.

Do we have an estimated time to completion?

[garry55]

Looking good @Gary55. Thanks

Do we have an estimated time to completion?

Hoping to have it completed by March 2020.

Motor being rebuilt now, bike goes in for bespoke 3-1 exhaust system fitting in January.

Just the electrics to sort meantime (new charging system etc).

then it may need paint.......................

today's work - drilling and filing one of the original T595 fairing / mirror support arms.

Unable to see any of your previous pics, but this one shows a great looking project.
Would have never thought of that frame working so good with a GT750 engine.

After looking at the front end, I started wondering about those calipers....(Triumph/Nissin)
They look the same as TZ250 3YL/4DP which have a 83mm spacing?....are they 83mm or the typical 90mm as in GSXR

[garry55]

both modified mirror mounts fitted and my 3rd attempt at modifying a T595 nose fairing to suit..............

[garry55]

under-seat bits and pieces (2T oil tank, battery, fuse box, relays, coolant expansion tank and battery charger fly-leads) all in place. Battery sits in it's own space under the 2T oil tank (see post below), which is why you can't see it.

As I am not running the electric starter motor option for the Steam Triple motor, it means I can run a much smaller (lighter) battery.........



Triumph T595 on the left, RGV250 on the right.

There was nowhere to mount the RGV battery in the T595's battery compartment, so I purchased a VJ21 RGV250 battery box............



and set about cutting off all the mountings...........



leaving only the tabs for the securing strap to attach to. Snug fit...........



Then I drilled the floor of the T595 battery compartment to accept a pair of rubber mounts........



and here it is, bolted in place and looking lost...........



this modification allowed me to cut 1" off the top of the T595's battery compartment to allow the Aprilia RS125 2T oil tank to fit above it.

Coming on nicely.

A truly fascinating project, Garry I love to see your updates and solutions/engineering to get it developed.

Cheers Geoff
