It's real fine.

Are those stock(ish) bars? They look different from the ones supplied on US Triumphs. Wider.

Yep stock US bars. The Brit and aus ones were narrower with less rise.

Even had holes pre drilled for horn button

the black tail light and brackets look excellent - just enough for me - not over done - well done -I have a 70 650 tiger with not so great original spring gold paint that looks green to me - exact same tail light - now I think I may paint it and the front fender brackets black as you did

Is that a reproduction seat ?

ill be honest mate - almost everything on the bike is repro - did you see what i started with? ha!

this one is a Wassell. Same with the handlebars and rear guard.

Repros are a little thicker than OEM. Probably nicer.

...really nice year model.

Paul & Peter Dunster helped me out alot with the tuning and overall build of this bike. These blokes know so much about old british bikes and cars.

All finished, registered and 100 kilometres on trip meter now. cold & running on choke in this vid.

She rides like a dream.

richbob · 06-24-2018, 02:21 AM

Very nice
looks brand new.

JAWS · 06-24-2018, 11:06 AM

Wow. Its perfect.

Ratso · 06-24-2018, 01:53 PM

DAMN that's beautiful. Sounds mightyfine as well.

At this point it's overwhelmingly unlikely that I'll ever have another Triumph. Glad I can at least see and hear yours, as a slobber enhancer.

OK time to really get crazy. Contain yourselves....

Stickers (from Baxter Cycle)

and a few fancy shots from a mate before a ride we did a few weeks ago.

Beautiful job!
I just sold my 71 Tiger 650, this makes me wish I hadn't.....

Ratso · 11-10-2018, 11:08 AM

That bike makes my bad thing tingle.
