hey Barend

thanks for the message, any information on the "OIF" models would be much appreciated, wiring diagrams especially, do you have any pictures/photos of the bike in it's original form, the one I have is in several cardboard boxes at the moment, but here's the engine  and model number HG 60917 T120 5 speed

regards beesa

hi everybody

anyone help me with this problem or give me some pointers please
Triumph Trident 1969 engine number:- C02753t150t

when it was running centre cylinder exhaust pipe was cool to cold, left unit not too hot right extremely hot, the bike was then given to 'someone' for service work including tappet adjustment, oil/filter change, carbs cleaned and I think an attempt at checking the timing was carried out (not too sure there) anyway the bike refuses to start now and I've been asked to look at it (for a friend)

can anyone give me a few pointers, as I've said before I'm an enthusiast with a mechanical background, but nothing about tridents, twins ok tridents zero

thanks everybody

regards sidecar

hi guys thanks for the response, I have found the engine number prefix "5TA" then the H20809 so that makes the original bike a 'Speed Twin" is that correct? and yes there is a distributor behind the engine barrels on the right hand side
another question please, there are three wires coming out the bottom of the engine, seems to be located between gearbox and clutch housing these I assume to be from the alternator, they would go to the rectifier/regulator unit hey can anyone tell me which terminals the wires connect to, I assume two would be the ac input to the rectifier but the third I don't know, but there again am I correct about two being the rectifier ac input?
again is there a "best' workshop manual for this model  triumph, I just don't want to buy one and find I could have got better when I'm so far away from the UK
thanks and cheers everyone I'll be waiting!!

sorry to labour the point and it sounds like I'm a real 'thicko' ahh can I ask (again) about the 1961 500cc unit construction machine, engine number H20809
is there an identification number/letter series eg TR something and what would you suggest as the most comprehensive workshop manual to buy/use, simple questions  ok but I'm a bit of a 'KISS' person and just want to make a good job of the refurbishment for a close friend, I do have reasonable workshop skills but have not worked on triumphs before
thanks in anticipation to all you fellow bikers

hey Rex
this pile of bits (I do mean pile of bits in the most literal sense at the mo its just half a dozen full boxes) with an engine number 'HG60917' T120 5spd the build date has been put at july 1972 would this be an 'oil in frame' model from the factory? is the Haynes manual comprehensive enough for a complete beginner (no real in depth knowledge of Trumpets only what I remember from 40 years ago!) and as I asked before the spares are readily available, can you give me any good addresses  :-[of suppliers who might ship overseas

thanks beesa

hi everybody
can anyone please give me some help, I have been asked to help a friend refurbish a triumph motorbike, I have very little information about the bike as it has spent many years up on the east coast of south africa and has had the frame modified in a very rough and ready way. The only identifcation I can make is the bike's engine number  which is H20809, I believe that makes the model a 1961 vintage it is 500cc capacity and is a 'unit' construction, can anyone come up with further details on the information above, secondly I have been given another challenge!! in the form of a box of bits, a triumph motor bike again, and again the only identifying information I have is the engine number which is HG60917 and that it is a T120 5speed and I believe that the capacity is 650cc and again unit construction        can anyone in the forum give me any history on these two 'old ladies' and can I still get parts, is it possible to refurbish them, are workshop manuals and parts lists available and anything else I should know would be greatfully received.  
what I should also add is this refurbishment project is happening (hopefully) in south africa these bikes are with me in sa so I would also like to know if it's possible to get parts shipped out to sa
thanking everyone in anticipation

regards mick
