Triumph Tiger 100 motorcycle

Well, I'm trying to restore a 1952 Triumph Tiger T100 that was almost 18 years catching dust in my garage.

I'm an excellent mechanic... I can distinguish a wheel from a seat and basically that's it :)

Just a warning, this is just a slideshow of the beginning of the restoration process not an awesome Discovery Channel super high quality with voice over comments show.

Well, I'll try and get a camera so I can make my own Discovery Channel super high quality with voice over comments show, but without the Discovery Channel super high quality... only the voice :P

Any help, like tips and contacts where to buy parts would be great!

Soundtrack is "The Sleepers - Filthy Ways"

nice project, who put those front indicators on it, such cruelty :o)

[paulolferreira]

Yeah, they look like indicators from an industrial caterpillar. :P

It was my dad who installed them.

Back in the days when internet was an American army project and getting parts for British motorcycles was impossible in Portugal.

any results with this kittie?

[paulolferreira]

some, progress is slow because I'm a really awful mechanic :D

I already got the parts I needed, now I'm polishing all those old aluminum parts... I'll make another bad quality slideshow movie soon! :P

As an old Triumph service mechanic, i can offer you one piece of advice..don't ever try to take that sprung hub apart unless you have the right spring compression tool..

Nasty things those when they let go..
