Title: Triumph 650 restoration
Post by: joe90 on November 12, 2007, 06:47:10 AM

Thought you might like to see a picture of my 650 TR6P just finished restoring apart from the engine plate and a few transfers.  Thanks for all the help over the past 18months, especially LAB and TBS.  After a couple of kicks to release the clutch and draw some petrol it started 1st kick after turning ignition on - 1st time running for 26 years.  Can't quite bring myself to stick the rubber pads on the tank!

That's great Joe, and it looks as if it was well worth the effort that I am sure you have put into it.

I hope that you have got a lot of satisfaction from restoring it and also get plenty of enjoyment from riding it.
