1972 Triumph 650 Bonneville T120RV Quick Rebuild.avi

[triumpht120rv]

I brought the bike to a shop in the 90's to get the valves and guides done. When I got the bike back and started it the pushrods popped off the rockers and jammed up into the inside of the rocker covers. The shop went out of business the same week (I was lucky to get my bike back!) so I ended up just storing the bike for years until last year. My first rebuild last year was just to get it started. This year I changed the guides and the valves myself and rebored the cylinders. Runs great now.

how did those push rod tubes get so bent?

Good for you!

Where are you at?

I've got the modern beast but still love the old metal as you can see if you google images for this:

pair of sexy triumphs

Peace.

lovely lovely:) It must be something in the air, but why does it say 'potatoe potatoe when it's a Trump?;) That must be the carb too...

Thank God, I thought you were one of the guys who blip the throttle 20 times to go 3 meters/feet.

[VMATT500C]

Nice bike. Why do you blip the throttle that much?

Carbs weren't properly tuned yet.
