No Mine ran great, it did 10 TT's. I only changed Rads because I changed to Suzuki and it got hot with that rad set up.

Re: jacobs thundercat
Is know Dave Quirk ran a Thundercat powered outfit - 100mph+ lap of the TT. I'm sure he'd be happy to share knowledge - let me know if you want his number.
Not sure what chassis he had - but I'll ask.

Re: jacobs thundercat
Twas my old bike, DMR chassis ex Rob Fisher proton bike that he crashed in 1995 practice at May Hill with Boyd Hutchinson.

Re: jacobs thundercat
I bought it from Rod Robinson in 2005, did TT in 2006 and sold it to Davy Quirk later that year, think he put an R6 in so not sure if that's what was used for the TT.
