          It's a '71 in Tiger Gold. Had trouble finding the paint and ended up getting the inside of the rear mudguard scanned in to match. Ended up with the correct pipes on in the end - after I kept burning my legs.

                I totally regret selling this Triumph:


                T-150 in a Trackmaster frame, Ceriani forl, magnesium wheels. It was cool. And peppy.



                Hated to see this bad boy go, too.



                Out of work with a broken back and a pregnant wife...
                Some cherished toys had to go.

                  Is that a Weslake top end on your Triumph? Lovely bikes.

                  Don't say can't, as anything is possible with time and effort, but, if you don't have time things get tougher and require more effort.

                    No. Just a basically stock T-150 top end. The head was milled on the sides that make it look more blocky. The factory racers had that I read, to make them narrower. It was quite fast for a Trident.

                      Nice to a Triumph "unbobbed" for a change.

                      Around here, we are running out of 'Merikin bikes to chop or bob, so they pretty much have combed all the barns for Brits.
