I never thought one could speed up a MAC that much. The engine has a stroke of 96mm, I don't dare to reckon the piston sped.

Beware of lightening MAC valve colars by scolloping them The steeper taper compared to Venom type makes them prone to splitting My best engine was written off by dropping in the complete exhaust valve

How did you ever get any power out it? Mine was really slow. Does your have exhaust valve larger than the inlet? Mine did and I never understood why.
@erikvonwachenfeldt6 ай бұрын
Standard valves. Inlet opened up to 1 3/16". M17/8 cam and as much compression as can be had without things touching. Std valves are of equal size.

It's an unusual bike. Looks like a mid-late '50s race bike based on an International, with a very big race front brake. More brake than an International will need. Also an early '30s mag chain cover

I understand, Anthony - bought one in 1969. Rode it round England for a month, then shipped it and myself to JFK airport and rode it back to Minnesota. Owned her for 3 years doing more than 'puttering about', and traded for a Commando. Not a bad machine ,that, either. Still have the Commando but I'd like to have the Thruxton, too.

Please note the wrist/fairing edge interference interface here. Made to be ridden in a crouch most of the time, bless it. One of the few British bikes I'd really like toown, even with the "wrong side" shift and 6v electrics. Well, at least you can change one of those things..

Noobs please note: see the aluminum arc where the shocks mount? You could move the shock forward (softer, different damping pattern) or rearward (for when you convinced that girl to ride two-up).
