Trigg not worried at all. I'm just curious as to how much has survived...as I'm cleaning all the grime and filth from it it really intrigues me? That rubber cap looked like a lump of grease and crap built up...
Trigger:
Sell it to me and i can be intrigued ;)
Woodside:
Depends how much you want to be intrigued?

Lovely bike...
The yellow paint on the disc nuts is pukka... it does look very clean for approaching 40 yrs - but then the whole bike does!
You'll likely also have yellow paint on the front brake hose junction / switch just under the headlight, and dabs too on each carb lifter adjuster nut.
On each carb air screw you should have a little plastic cap.... these quickly 'disappear' and are hard to replace.
The original chain contained a split link.
I'm not sure about doing away with the 'split' hose piece. It's there for a reason, and until corrected, I'd say to stop oil (from the breather) dumping onto the back wheel... ie its a maintenance type action where you squeeze it occasionally & drain any oil / grunge build up in a controlled manner.
As a final comment, is there any date stamps on the tyres? If they are original, you might consider keeping them (assuming you plan to keep the bike original) as later on, refitted with these tyres it will likely enhance any resale value.
Simon.

Mine is 1044xxx registered on 27/8/75 .... is this an early one Trig? Pillion rests on the swinging arm.
I bought it in 10/85 and it had had 7 former keepers! it's reg is MBR so guess its from around Sunderland way originally (bought from Cowies possibly).
Cheers .. AshD
