Plan; remove the hard tail.
Turn rear end back into subframe, shocks, swing arm.
Front is later T140/T150, so will remain as the forks and brake is an improvement on the drum from 1970 (IMHO).... and it will save me money !
Engine; strip and rebuild, but keep standard.
....basically, a rebuild but not exactly as left the factory....more a “resto-mod” ....improve the bits I can while still retaining the essence of a 1970 650 triumph.
Well, that’s the plan. But as Robbie Burns said: the best made plans gan aft aglay (sp?).....
I think you're starting with the wrong donor bike
Nice N Fat: why am I starting with the wrong bike?
It was definitely the right price.... free, from an old friend.
I know It’s easier starting with a standard bike, but this is what I’ve got, so this is where I’m starting.
Sourcing loads of parts needed will take quite some time I know.
