Found me not one but two Pre Unit Triumphs I've always wanted one. Buddy of mine has had these collecting dust since the 70'S.... Wife named the Thunderbird "Phoenix" after I sent her the cell pics good name as it will rise once again the Tr6 will be on the lift right after.
Finally my 1969 t120r has some brit buds to hang in the garage with!

Wow.....!!!!!

damn!
there's a green-eyed monster here in the room.

 

[bikeguru1]

you lucky man! nice score

 

[need louvers ?]

Is it me or is there a whole bunch of pre-units coming out of the wood work lately?

 

[Rubone]

Nice score on the pair. Now you get to enter the realm of non-existent pre-unit bits and pieces. Period customs would be very cool with those two.

Oh they exist, you just have to be Japanese or Lurkingclass Pete who can't walk outside without tripping over them.

 

[Quaffmeister]

Oh yes please!!! That rigid frame looks to be a peach.
Was the the bloke you scored 'em off dressed in red and sportin' a good line in white beards?

 

[Naear]

I still can't get this silly grin off my face asked the wife to pinch me just in case I was dreaming. Will keep posted once I start cleaning them up got parts books and manuals for both in route. know the classicbike.biz web but theres just something I like about having a printed manual greasy fingerprints and all.

Not sure if I like the idea of having springs inside the rear wheel may have to swap that out for a good old solid rear wheel for the 6T we'll see once I get it tore down.

Let me know. Ive got a couple of rigid solid hubbed wheels around here.

'51 6T I picked up a few years ago, waiting for its turn to come up in the project list!

 

[jdbusybody]

Awesome score!!

 

[whittiger650]

I've noticed that too...kinda of amazing really.

Good score Naear...looking forward tot he build(s).

 

[Naear]

I'll keep that in mind Rubone if I decide to go with a solid rear wheel
yours is a 51 6T also hell maybe ours are siblings.. I see it still has the Oem blue paint mine has a different front brake hsg then yours tho.
Nice find you got looks like you've got a few projects there .

 

[Rubone]

The front brake on mine is a later 8" style with scoops. It also has a 1 gallon oil tank in it and a competition tank. I was planning on setting it up as an AHRMA class C racer.
I have several pre-unit projects with a severe lack of time and money right now!!

How she looked the day I brought her home..

Old post took me awhile but I'm still here gathern parts been working on my 51 tbird getting closer.
Decided the spring hub is the way to go with this 6t build.
That hole sure was dirty..

Just need to get the wiring and plumbing done hopefully by spring 2022 she'll be on the road.

 

[Ratso]

Big points for perseverance. I hope it comes together easy.

 

[Thebigguy0811]

Really like keeping the spring hub. Don't see many anymore. Well done, can't wait to see it finished
