I’ve spent most of the winter and following lockdown giving the Tenni some love. I met a fellow Tennisti in St. Louis on a trans America trip in 2018(Iwas on a triumph)and his bike put mine to shame.A mixture of shit Irish weather, bad Italian paint, ethanol and me being lazy meant it was starting to look sad. The tank was suffering from severe measles, so that was the start, and it grew from there. I had one built by MCS in brightlingsea, UK, took about 5 months, not bad considering Covid had just hit. I had various bits of plastic repainted by a pro, the Tenni paint came from Holland(rocking horse poop). I powder coated wheels, triple tree, cylinder and alternator covers and a few other bits. Taking the wheels apart was the hardest bit, all nuts and bolts had turned to cheese, so a local engineer used his box of tricks to help. Apart from a small electrical problem (see technical topics, “thirty amp fuse failure), she rides exactly the same. she just looks better. Here’s to another 20 years!

It's probably in this thread somewhere, the reason for the 30 Amp fuse melting that is. The cause as I see it is too much resistance in the clips holding the fuse, resistance causes heat at a current squared relationship and don't forget the current is pulsing, its not a steady DC but a pulsing DC, the peak is much higher than the average. So saying my VII Sport welded a fuse into the holder but I was able to break it free and clean the socket up again. It never gave me another problem but I eventually replaced the regulator with a direct connect type. Don't re-use a fuse that has overheated toss it and replace with a new one.

*SOLD* Selling this Mistral crossover that came with the 2002 LeMans that I bought from a forum member (Tom M) in June. Not planning to use it. $200 USD plus actual cost of shipping from 02474. PayPal. PS -- Tom M told me that he had the pipe ceramic coated.

Maybe a little better...

This might be a little better...

For him it will be an easy task, maybe an hour or so. The key is the Viton/FKM material orings in the correct size as outlined in the post. Ciao

Use the correct sized Viton or FKM seals and modify the tap body and spool to suit. If you send me one I'll do it for you. Might mean a month in postage though. Ciao

The pic looks like almost a thumbnail, can you post more bigger images?
