Joe, you've got an RD? I know there are some nice RDs @TVM.. infact, the BSM RD Club had a chapter there called "Tvm Forks" or something.. i got my RD from Tvm too.. but actually its a Kottayam reg. bike.

Honestly speaking, no i have'nt seen or heard about the R.E. Fury, will check out about it now

The fury was a bike ahead of its time.. Being a two-stroke, it had around 17Bhp on tap plus Alloy wheels and a huge 285-290mm solid Brembo disc brake.. the rotor has a thickness of 6mm where the normal indian bikes' rotor has a thickness of 4.5mm only..It had large engine fins for better cooling and 8 cylinder bolts[ standard is 4].. but it died too young due to lack of spares and RE's poor marketing and service backup.

Nice photos Arun... Also the Tig Welding Job is very well done..... I have seen the Tig Welding being done in Bangalore but did not know it was there in Thrissur.... Wonder if it is there in Coimbatore also???....

Cheers!!!!

arun, so your dogged perseverance for getting the fury disc set up on your rd paid off! But is the real life perf with the effort? As you said the rotor is thicker but wouldnt have a more contemporary set up been better? Of course it wouldnt complement an Rd in such an exotic way as the Fury disc!

Fury wheels + disc assembly looks the sexiest on an RD. They look like they were made for the RD as OE. Nothing can come close to it.

yes Joel, but the Fury alloys have a prob.. the rear drum is too weak for an RD.. if u have dual disc up front, the rear drum is ok..

@Titus, you buggar... where are you? how is renjjie? Ebin used to contact through Orkut.. Vinod used to call.. and oh.. our Hari has gone out of state.. i think to pune..Hmm.. you got a new helmet? which one?

The rear drum needs some tweeks to make it get a better bite. Else just make a rear disc contraption. Works the best. A dual disc on an RD will increase the unsprung mass like crazy. Not worth and not needed.
Hmmm, never knew trichur was pretty decent with such bike works too. My dads place .

C.D Jinan is from Trichur man..[ 7 time national motocross champion & TVS Factory rider] wot else can u expect from such a small-town? Nowadays hes with Kawasaki racing [in the Middle East] i believe...

nice hows it workin for you i have a pulsars unit on been workin well as of now.

ya got one!! trying for a disc set up!! no proper welding shops here, so shelved up the project!! waiting to go with the forks to ekm when i get time!!
now trying to get a cdi, probably OEM. this points is really a pain.waiting to change to that when i get hold of a good one!

@wierd_san. hey bro nice to meet u after a long time!! hows ur beast>?!

Yea.. welding is the key in all disc set-ups man.. get a proper tig welding done by a professional. Yea.. even i thought of getting the OE Yamaha cdi.. i heard Sumeet ,the famous tuner up north has the stocks.. probably, some senior members like Rajat might be able to help you out.. Rajat had once given me his numbers too.. If ur on a budget, you can seek the help of atul_astro too.. he can provide you a nice kit i believe.. im planning to get one from him including the 90/100 Kit.

hey arun

firstly, congrats on the disc setup..it definitely looks hot and plus the two pot pulsar unit must be working well, and trust me its way economical to maintain as well

truly said, they key factor in making a disc setup is the welding..a little mess up here and there and it can bugger it up royally

again, thanks a lot coz you gave me credit where it was due, which is why it feels good to work for fellas like you

for the rear drum brake on the fury, yes its kinda weak but as joel said, a few tweaks can make it all good..starting with giving the drum liner a good rough finish, checking for scratch marks, gashes, and a surface thats too smooth...nothing a good emery paper session cant cure

a disc brake contraption for the rear shouldn't be very expensive, provided you can get your hands on a single pot fury caliper..I'd suggest making the P220 units work..coz they run excellent box section swingarms too, and those can be plonked on the RD chassis without much effort..and oh yea, they're availible and cheap

the rear disc on the P220 is nothing but the front disc that came on the earlier generation pulsars till date..the caliper and mastercylinder and lever unit comes cheap too..swingarms shouldnt be difficult to find...only expensive conversion here is getting the pulsar 220 rear rim and the tyres; also im not sure of what sprocket and chain we can run on those


hope this helps

cheers


ps: lemme know when you want me to send over the CDI kit arun...I've kept it ready long time ago..I've kept aside the Nippon rotor for you

I know that dear.. well! you know the reason for my delay.. Im totally bankrupt thesedays.. but will manage the money somehow and will let you know.. keep the kit with you for a month to the max.

Still havent sorted out my jet probelm.. that bloody mech has still not opened my carbs to check the jets.. its with him for the past 3 days.. and its raining heavily here in Kerala Seems like i'll have to master the art of opening the carbs myself.. is it difficult atul? i need ur advice in DIY

oh no issues..no hurry about the kit man..u can order it aaram se

openig carbs is really easy..i'd suggest you go ahead and do it

if u get stuck, we're always here
