I recognise the OD bit as Devonshire reg, but thought it was a local Barnstaple prefix, whereas I think Exeter was TA & Torquay TT
Just a bit more local interest for you as local up there
Triumph Twentyone
- Thread starter Devon

Nooooooo it'll look shite
Keep it original .... it's not a question of cost
The bike has already been painted at least once Micky but I know where you are coming from. Like you, I love to see patina on a M/C (just as long as they belong to someone else)
Might well be JB. T, TH and TT are the other Devon Prefixes which look to be for the south coast so OD might well be the north Devon prefix.

I'd take it off and put it on a shelf.
The first time I came across the medical term 'de-gloving' was dealing with an RTA where the rider of a Triumph with one of those racks got injured in a minor collision...

A Motorcycling acquaintance of mine (now sadly deceased) spent some time in hospital after damaging his 'manhood' on one of those racks back in around 1970.
Only refit it when showing
.That's a great find, there are a couple around here that turn up at Classic events and they look good and go well (though twenty one cubic inches isn't going to set the world alight
).The old "restore it or leave it original" dilemma continues. Personally I prefer to restore them back to original condition - or better (stainless fasteners etc).
I look at my '58 Ariel VH which has at least three different shades of Ariel Deep Claret with the tank in Ariel 'Glamour' red and think . . No, I've got to restore it fully
. Enjoy it, and let us see more pictures when you've finished it

... it's even got the rack to catch your nads when the brakes prove less than adequate and you smite something solid

Nice one Andy. Glad to hear you got it at last. 
The bike has already been painted at least once Micky but I know where you are coming from. Like you, I love to see patina on a M/C (just as long as they belong to someone else)
OK ... let you off. If the paint is not original anyway then no harm can become of it

If the rack didn't catch yer knackers, the greet-big mushroom of a steering damper would!! Ask me how I know...
My second bike - identical to this. Never has 17bhp been so much fun!
