I'll start tearing into it Monday or Tuesday, I'll also try to post some photos.  BTW I am located in Gettysburg, Pa. USA, thanks again, Rob

British Bikes / New Triumph owner needs help !
« on: May 03, 2008, 01:47:04 PM »
Glad I found you guys! I am the proud new owner of a Triumph 1955 T110 and I have a lot to learn. Last Bike I owned was a  Suzuki in 1983. I am however not unfamiliar with British engineering, I own a 1965 Jaguar E type. I have ordered some repair manuals from ebay, along with some Whitworth tools, but have a few dumb questions that cant wait to be answered. 1) The bike runs great, but there is no battery, just wires hanging,  lights work only at high revs, is this a 6 volt system ? What kind of Battery do I need. I know that it would be easy to fry something if I don't know what I'm doing. Is there an explanation of the wiring / magneto online somewhere ? (2) Second dumb question, did this bike have a side stand, if so where can I find a replacement (3)I need to find the "Triumph" script for the gas tank. (4) Is anyone reproducing the nacelle, I have only a chrome headlight with no speedometer or switches. Thanks in advance, Rob G.
