Blimey fork legs on the wrong way round. Well spotted. ;D  Wonder what else is the wrong way round? Best unrestored bike around, REALLY.

Wish I was coming with you Ash. Two things please if you would, can you ask them if they have a complete Triumph T100 or T120 unit engine for sale, and secondly why the hell do they keep pulling bikes out of eBay auctions when there are bids on them. ;D Be careful though, criticism can result in higher prices. Cheers Roy.

Hi and welcome to the forum. Interesting little project you have going there, we don't get many of those on here. Don't want to rain on your parade, but be careful what you paint your parts with as some paints do not adhere very well to zinc based products such as cold galvanise spray. An etching primer is usually required first. Good luck with the project, if you need advice just ask. Cheers.

CB750 / Re: Cracked crank cases.
« on: January 20, 2016, 08:43:22 PM »
Cases are all fixed now. Couldn't tap the piece back into shape without severe stress on the cases. So I cut out the offending piece and prepared it for welding. Alan took it to some guy near Blackpool airport who made a great job of welding it up. Thanks for all the help guys, again. Alan's project now back on track.

I don't believe that. DK have pulled the Bonneville auction as well. Somebody should report them to eBay. The rules are that you can only pull an auction  in exceptional circumstances. Not 2 a day because you had better offers. Bang out of order.

CB750 / Sandcast engine
« on: January 19, 2016, 04:46:07 PM »
This any use to you Sandcast guys. Looks cheap to me if its genuine.   http://aberdeen.craigslist.co.uk/mpd/5377829550.html
Can we assume that Sancast number 1971 no longer exists? Who would break a Sandcast.

Well, the Bonneville's at 4.5K already with 6 days still to go. Why do people bid so early, all it does is push the price through the roof. If it ends up over 6K then the 3K for restoring it properly (without even paying for your own time) that's 9K. You can buy a superb Bonneville for that, so why bother. Whats the matter with these people?

Cheers Ash. Have put that in my watch list. Betting it goes between 4 & 5K which means when its done there's no meat left on the bone again. Amazing what people are paying for rough Bonnevilles, although this one is pretty nice.

A twin SLS brake. Wow, not seen one of those before. Looks like an interesting bike, does it come with a colourful history?

Misc / Open / Winter Project

I keep seeing people looking for a new winter project. Well I've just been out to the garage intending to fit some new coils on the 350 and "Sod that for a game of soldiers" its bl***y freezing. I'm now looking for the next summer project. ;D

Love the mods to the SLS front brake to make it look like 'big brakes' So the head may be a Triton/Tribsa mod, interesting.

« on: January 15, 2016, 02:41:25 PM »
No Ash they are kidding, you would have to do it up to scrap it. Chancers again. And if somebody is dumb enough to buy it who can blame them.

Tiger 100

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TRIUMPH-T100-Tiger-500-Engine-Frame-Bonneville-Restoration-Project-Barn-Find-/252249606094?hash=item3abb3f87ce:g:YXUAAOSwHaBWlpre
That was a good find on eBay, unfortunately its an early 5TA not a T100. Cant really use it as its an early distributor model plus no left side tacho drive. I already have one of those. Also its had a bit of a strange modification to the head to fit twin carbs, not sure what that's all about but it's a bit chopperish. Good find though, thanks Woodside.

Sort of nothing. They replied asking for the auction number, which I sent them. Then nothing else. Bang out of order if you ask me.
