Air cooled back in the day for sure, but with traffic congestion and slow crawling motorway traffic, water cooled is a must.

@Aircooled865 2 ай бұрын

That's a good point...at least on 2 wheels you can filter 👍👍

One needs a climate like England for an air-cooled British bike. Back in the day, my Commando 850 thrived in Seattle. Here in Hawaii, today, water cooling is required. A 99 Thunderbird Sport fits the bill. Aloha and thank you for your content.

Such a cool bike congrats the twin clocks are superb too. I was thinking with the knobly tyers does it feel ok on tarmac/wet etc? And how is the exhaust heat? Thanks for sharing!

@Aircooled865 4 ай бұрын

Thanks buddy....the knobblies are really good all round...no real vibrations and great in the wet and broken roads....the exhaust heat is fine ...you feel the warmth but it does not burn you..I've just done a 300 mile trip and no heat issue at all 👍

Beautiful Scrambler and I'm diggin all the mods! Congrats! Would you care to share your handlebar dimensions (even roughly)? I own a 2014 T100 (Bonneville) and been trying to find a 1" handlebar like the Scrambler one but can really find the dimensions. :( Width=? Height=? Drag=? Thanks!

What seat do you have on it? I also have a air cooled scrambler! Like the mods looks clean!

@Aircooled865 5 ай бұрын

Thanks buddy...the seat is from motone customs based in the UK...it's called the krait seat.you can get it in black, tobacco brown or a light brown....costs £269 .....hope you are loving your scrambler as much as me 👍👍

I had one few years back, Modified a lot just like yours, it was great, But the tank range was crap, the standard suspension was crap, The front brake was not up to the job after the mods and tuning, it's bloody heavy, and it leans over on the stand like a drunk at a bar! And when the weather gets really hot, it complains a bit, and the heat from the engine is intense, if it was 28 degrees or more I would leave it in the Garage, But the looks and sound with a zard exhaust made up for all of that.

@Aircooled865 2 ай бұрын

😆....I totally agree with your comments....I have changed my suspension and brakes so all good....but the weight can be an issue...but I love the way the bike looks and sounds 👍

A difference you don't mention is the new models have far better fuel consumption ... my Street Scram ( latest model ) was very noticeably more economical than my old air cooled Bonny. .. running so lean for emission regs has it's advantages!

@Aircooled865 2 ай бұрын

Yeah....that's a fair point buddy....I do fill up quite regularly for short trips....long tours however I think it's ok 👍
