What a skinflint! At the very least he cound have used Bacofoil....
That oil feed was pre T140, from about 67/8 if I recall.I don’t remember it on my ‘72 T120V. But then just because I don’t remember it, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it wasn’t there.
but is it feasible to fit a T140 head on a T120 barrel from a 66?Fitting and fitting properly are two different things. As, I think some one has pointed out there will be too many holes in the T140 head, or not enough studs on the T120 barrels.
Ive only had it fifty years and its plumb wore out.They don’t make em to last like they did in the old days.
Never seen a yorkshire man sweat, none of them move fast enoughIt’s nowt to do with movement, most sweating is wallet related.
you can tell by the grit in them.That’s not grit, it’s a Yorkshiremans sweat.
PS My tomatoes are better than yours.Wait till you see the size of my plums.
That's a nice one, but to me the 1968-70 Bonnies and Tigers are the ultimate for looks in units.I have to agree on that one. But I reckon you could put a unit engine in anything and it would look good, just one mind.
headlamp supports broke,been there bought that, Wilemans must have made a fortune out of me.
switch gear crapDouble jointed thumbs help.
owners would remove the tank strap because they couldn't figure out what it did and tanks would split;Thats why mines not the original tank, not because I didn’t know what the strap did but because the bike developed a self adjusting tappet and I had to take it off that often I never got round to putting it back on.
those silencers were too heavy for their supports;I found the silencers fell apart at about the same time the brackets bust.
front brake not a patch on the previous oneI don’t think there as bad as the internet experts say they are. I had a 1200 bandit with twin discs and god knows how many pots per disc. I find the Bonnie front wheel locks up at roughly the same speed the Bandits back end went in the air doing back yard stoppies.
but washing lines are only interesting when the totty next door has done her washing,That’s why my smalls are there, so you can’t see next doors totty washing.
...ugly as sin with it's breadbin tank, conical hubs and flat-back headlamp...I rather like them I bought this one in the late 70’s mainly because of the larger U.K. tank, flat backed headlamp, conical hubs and the air scoop. The triumph’s the one in the front, if you don’t like tractors or triumphs there’s some washing to look at in the background.
