Title: Triumph TRW performance
Post by: bulldog on February 01, 2006, 11:40:57 PM

I am about to embark on restoring a 1952 (I think !) Triumph TRW.
Just wondering if anybody could give me any ideas about improving it's performance?  ???
Yeah I know, a TRW has less poke than a eunuch!  ;)
I've already heard that changing the sprockets and putting Trohphy ones on will help.
But what about other mods ? carb modifications ?
But hey, if I can gain just 3hp thats already a 25% increase in output!!!  :o

Hi,

> I am about to embark on restoring a 1952 (I think !) Triumph TRW.

If you let me have engine & frame numbers I can probably identify the year for you.
I can't help with performance.
