The TDM N16 belongs to my girlfriend, I had it built but stopped riding it as every time I did I found something that I felt could be "improved" (and it ended up off the road for another 6 months). The picture you have is its first incarnation. In this form it appearead in Street Fighter magazine (December 1997 I think). It has been revised a couple of times since (paint job, new brakes, tail section redone, twice).

And here is the text that forms the basis of the Street Fighter magazine article from December 1997:

Clink,

Story of my TDM 850's: My first reaction on seeing a TDM wheeling off of the front cover of Performance Bikes (sorry rival mag) was "I don't care whos children I have to sell I want one". The first one was bought in August 1991, this worked fine until mid winter when it started to suffer from locked disks first thing in the morning. Calipers only have hydraulic seals, no dust seals, and it gets kind of cold up here, so the salt was getting in. Go 1/2 a mile to work, get off, kick disks to free up calipers and carry on!!.

At the end of the winter both stantions were pitted baddly enough to warant replacement under waranty. After one attempt to get one of the legs to seal they ended up replacing the whole fork leg, slider, stantion the lot!!.

Two years and 20,000 miles on the bike (but only about 10K on the forks) and severe brake judder stared to occur, initially a warped brake disc was suspected but ultimately the forks turned out to be totally knackered, Slider, Stantion and internal bushes all worn beyond usefulness. With a large bill to stick the same, potentially suspect, forks back on again something else was required. Just to make matters worse this all happened mid May (Journey home from the Buzzards Rally over some of the best roads around, Ellon, Dallas, Knockando over The Lecht and down through Breamar and Glen Shee, was seriously no fun). Sun was out and my bike was knackered.

Temporary solution was to get a "Summer" bike off of local "very friendly" bike shop [Andrew Harts in Dundee:01382 667281] YZF 750, sporty, bit of fun..

During this time I spotted an article in Performance Bikes on Super Motard specials one of which was a TDM with a GSXR front end, they had extended the upper sliders by welding a couple of inches of alloy pipe on to the top of the top bolt in order to get the fork length required (TDM forks are about 2 inches longer than EXUP forks upon which they are based: which may explain why my forks were so knackered, different leverage etc). They also used the 17" GSXR wheel as opposed to the 18" TDM one which makes the height difference worse. However, it looked very good.

So I sourced a set of YZF 750 SP forks (Yamaha moved their spares operation to Amsterdam round about then, so I managed to get them at a resonable price). The SP forks went on the YZF while its R level forks got freed up for use on the TDM.

The Old TDM front end and the YZF 750 R Forks were given to Cugar Customs in Stirling [Don't know number] in order to create a new front end for the TDM. The made a complete set of yokes (in a rather custom bike style) and extended the fork legs by the necessary amount, inlcuding extending the preload adjuster (some very nice work but all on the inside of the fork leg). The also did the wheel spindel and spacers necessary to use the standard TDM wheel.

Cugars brake conversion plates were too Custom oriented,so my mate CJ [Johnson and Son Engineering 01382-XXXXXX] made the brake plates now used on the bike. To the YZF Slider it looks like a normal brake caliper, to the TDM brake caliper the plate looks like a TDM fork slider.

We now had a TDM with an upside down front end, carbon fibre mdguard curtesy of a Harris YZF part (18" wheel means it gets a bit close to the tyre!!).

This viaration of the bike was run through the summer of 1996. Upon leaving the Yorshire MAG Farmyard Party that year one of my mates mentioned that he had seen a TDM with a single sided back end (still never seen this other bike). Over the 260 odd miles home the mind starts to wander and a single sided back ended sounded like a great idea by the time I got home.

So with the YZF sold and a good chunk of cash in the pocket the local friendly bike shop did me a good deal on a P reg TDM. Within a week I had done the Peterhead MAG rally and a visit to the folks I had clocked up 1000 miles and the bike was handed over to Specials in Glasgow to work on the single sided back end and tail piece conversion.

Specials took the bike to Spondon who made a Jig based upon it in order to create the swing arm now in place.

The swing arm finally made an apperance at the Scottish bike show (it turned up at mid-day on the Saturday). Upon seeing the arm one of my mates remarked "There is a very large dog walking around going yelp.. that is the absolute Dogs..." Hence the wording on the number plate simply "The Dogs...."

After this it took a good while to sort out the exhausts, the cans are stock Ducati 916 cans with the down pipes cut off to about an inch. The stock TDM collector box and silensers were binned and a single piece of pipe was constructed {I understand something like 11 pieces of stainless steel were used to construct this} to match the two into one collector of the TDM into a single piece of Stainless Steel which finally goes into two stubs to the twin 916 silencers.

In order to hold these 916 cans away from the wheel, it was necessary to remove the standard steel sub frame, this was cut off at a point mid seat and a pair if threaded holes were placed on each frame rail. A new sub frame was constructed from steel (given that the old sub frame was steel no advantage was to be had by going for an alloy sub frame and as we were approaching the TT based delivery date !!)

So we now have a new exhaust, sub frame, tail light curtosey of Ducati and various stuff necessary to put the back end together. The tail piece is based on a stock 916 tail piece except that about an inch or so of meterial has been removed from each side to birng the panels into towards the TDM seat.

The final fiberglass panel was delivered along with the rest of the bike one week before the TT. Brian at the Bike Shop [] turned the raw fiberglass tail piece into the painted item on show in 3 days, The N16 logo is a play on the fact that while the bike has a lot of 916 parts on it it is Not a 916.

The 270 degree crank on the new TDMs means that they run the same firing oreder as a 916 V twin, so wuth the exhaust cans from a 916 it sounds very similar.

Regards,
MikeC....

Hi
I saw the message in the Forum. Here are a couple of photos of the mods to date. I am still looking for R1/Fazer mirrors in the breakers but when those guys crash they tend to do it big so I might be looking for a while. I fitted a Hagon rear shock (with preload wound up to 4/5ths), so she rides high at the back, I had the front forks pulled up by the usual 20mils but have backed this to 15mils since I fitted the new risers (and may yet step back to 10mils). With so much weight forward she tended to fall into roundabouts a bit too much.

Mounting Thundercat mirrors
To drill the holes I used a 7mm "brad pointed" wood bit, running at a low speed. The mirrors have 6X20 mm treads mounted on the base plate (so you dont have a lot of depth to ply with once you start mounting).
This is where it gets strange!!!
Since the mirrors penetrate the fairing (can I use that word here??) at an angle I needed something to give them an even contact surface on the inside, so I used some C Cup washers from mountain bike V brakes, they are used to allow you to vary the position of the brake blocks. The net effect is very stable, ie the plastic is up for the job of holding the mirrors, but I am still looking to brace the inside similiar to that on a fireblade, at higher speeds they do vibrate a bit,(consider this as work in progress!!).
I mounted them so that the work is hidden behind the facia.

The Thundercat mirrors are OK but I have to tuck in my elbows to see directly behind me, I am 6' tall. The R1/Fazer 1K would definately be better, ie the mirror shafts are approx 4cms longer.

The bottom fairing is from TCP France and the luggage rack is from Krauser.
The saddle is the same brand as my fueltankcover,it`s called BAGSTER and it`s made in France.
It`s available in many colurs and patterns made just for YOUR BIKE. You only tell them which modell and what colur it is.
There is also a catalog, and maybe you can find out more on Bagster.com.

Fat and Stubby TDM
1992 TDM 850.
It has been modified to fit my tastes: Fat and Stubby

The rear subframe was cut 6-inches.
I built the short exhaust canisters in the garage.
The wide wheels came off a Suzuki GSXR 1100.

Although this bike is no longer sold in the US,
I hope to find a way to get my hands on a 1999 model.

another TDM

I have mounted a bottom fairing from JMV CONCEPT in France. Also I added Kawasaki mirrors on the side of the windshield to reduce turbulence during high speed drives.
And also some TRX carbs to warm up the ventury (for during cold spells), some winter tires.
And finally a bagster, KRAUSER cases on the sides and a GIVI topcase.

TDM
TDM TDM 		My TDM (1993) has been a project of mine over the last year or so and it is finally done. I have summarized below the mods I've made and have some  pictures. As you can see below I have made many modifications.

Jeff Holeman

1993 TDM Modifications:
  1. Progressive springs
  2. lowered forks in triple clamps 15 mm
  3. Storz long travel steering damper (see pictures exactly where it's mounted - underneath right side bodywork does not show at all!)
  4. Superbike handlebars
  5. Yamaha Radian straight handlebar mounts
  6. GIVI windscreen
  7. European front parking light
  8. Stainless steel braided brake lines
  9. Factory jet kit
  10. K&N filter
  11. Custom dual high pipe stainless steel exhaust with D&D aluminum cans (see pictures - built by company that does Indycar systems)
  12. Sargent seat
  13. Napolean bar end mirrors
  14. D.I.D. 520 gold chain with one tooth smaller in front
  15. bicycle computer added to give correct speed (up to 65mph only!).


The exhaust is especially cool, It took a while to get the jetting right, but had it at the track a few weekends back and it was great.

I will also get a WAV made when I get time. It sounds more ducati like than the Yoshimura I had before. Great sound, very different.
