Triumph T100ss

[taysidedragon]

An early Christmas present to myself was this 1965 Triumph Tiger T100ss. It's the wrong colour for 65 and has non standard bits on it. Some other parts needed so needs a little bit of work before riding.
Bought it from a mate who's kept it in his living room for the last 5 years. 👍😁

I loved my Triumph Twenty-One I have long since forgotten the model range specs was the Tiger a tweaked version of the Speed Twin - I thought they would be twin carbs?

Still a nice bike no doubt with the free bum & finger vibration  massage if is like my 21 was, oil leaks asside I love the bath tubs.

Hi Ted. The Tiger has a little more power than the Speed Twin, an enormous 34 hp as standard! The later Daytona was twin carb with bigger valves and a few hp more.
The Tiger is quite torquey and great to ride on the twisties. 😁

On the Triumph front I’ll be selling a 1959 Triton (currently fully dismantled) in the new year if anybody is interested. I’ll be needing the cash for a future venture wholly unrelated to motorcycles……

Just saying….

Depends a lot on engine, gearbox,frame and most important cost. I usedto be able to buildan oiltight Triumph in the 70's but may have lost the knack, plus parts are now dearer than old Honda ones

Although it's 56 years ago since I owned a Triumph I'm well envious of your bike - looks lovely mate.

[Sesman]

Yep, lovely 500 that’s is. I’ve always maintained that the 500 is a nicer ride than the 650 and 750.

For those who might be interested pm me for details. But basically it’s a sound pre-unit t110 dynamo model with brand new unopened Morgan 750 conversion and oil pump.Slick shift 4 speed. Wideline frame with new Norvil forks, bushes etc.  Original wide hubs with Akront rims. Brand new Norvil twin leader, Andy Molnar racing seat and guards. The more I describe it the more I feel like hanging on to it

Allways liked the old Triumphs.

 

A mate of mine Bonneville, Its used in all weathers, just as it was designed for

There are a few tricks to putting Morgo barrels on a pre unit, i did it in 76, hapy tohel anybody out.

[Sesman]

Intrigued by the tricks. Please do tell….

[Sesman]

Sorry not Akronts; the rims are original Borrani flanged - very nice. Plus alloy fuel tank and oil tank, swept backs and thruxton type silencers. It’s all there.
