Re: (Yet) Another convert to Triumph
Aye, thanks. '78 T140E re-imported back home and restored/improved from knackered.
For sale sadly due to arthritic ankles not liking kick starting. |

Nice to have a seat where the rear part isn't a foot higher than the front and does not need some serious leg lifting to get on the bike. Cracking restoration job - pity you have to sell now.

Re: (Yet) Another convert to Triumph
Lovely looking bike - congratulations.
Now all you have to do is to keep it clean. Those alloy engine cases are a real pain to keep looking nice. I'd suggest regularly wiping them with ACF-50. |

Re: (Yet) Another convert to Triumph
Blapper - have you looked at Alton starter system?
Expensive, but there's no substitute for the bike you really want to ride.
