ok let me start short story this bike arrived to my place somtime after Easter this year and looked almost like on this picture
but don't picture fool you it was in worse condition than you think ,here we got few pics of this bike when I started stripping it down
notice dent in the fuel tank
paint flaking on valve cover and all over the angine (this issue want to address this winter as main goal was to have it on the road in 3 months)
have a look at cylinder head, oil bolts and lines are in slightly different position (this bike was registered in april 2001)
wheels were very rusty with knoby tyres and I thought about finding better solution finally went ahead with 1994 Honda CBR600 wheels and front forks both wheels are 17 inch which gives massive choice of tyres ,because it was tight budget built I went with very good quality not so expencive continentals ContiMotion
front end is direct swap as forks are 41mm and honda spacer and speedo drive is used without issue
rear end need sme machinning done : new spacers,bearings to accomodate triumph spindle ,chain carier need some skimming ...but managed to find someone local to do those jobs for me
when got wheels back from powdercoating and tyres were fitted assembly went ahead
at the beinning of buildig this bike gave all body part for spraying knowing that this going to take some time
and as the bike is made mostly from genuine ebay parts they were not color matched
few more things left to finish but is ready to ride now !!!!
