This is the 4th episode in the restoration of a T140 Triumph and thanks to someones incompetence things go a little side ways. Lets reassemble the bike into a roller while I continue to fix the horrible repair someone else did along time ago to the gas tank.

You just gave me bike fever, have a 72 650 that needs the same treatment.

You gonna do it all yourself? If you need parts I'd suggest bonneville shop in co classic British spares in ga, or MAP cycles in tampa

Great video series, thanks for making this! A couple of questions if you don't mind (I'm just starting work on a bonneville myself) - for the triple trees and black brackets, what paint did you use? Were any of your bolts rusted or anything (I'm wondering how to clean up some older looking ones I have and whether I'm better to replace them)? And did you get all your chrome parts looking that good just with polish? I'm just starting to try to figure out how to clean up some visually old looking parts and hoping to reuse as much as possible. Thanks again!

So as far as tripple tree stuff I'm gonna assume u mean the tripples and if it didn't get powder coating on small stuff I just used a gloss black enamel bolts are cheap I used alot of stainless and alot of the chrome.is cheap too

Great videos. I just revived my '78 T140E this past winter - it had not been started/ridden since '85 and was all in boxes. Mine has almost exactly the same color tank. Is yours all original? Everything looks in really good shape where did you find it in that original condition!. Looks like you just need to knock the dust off and replace your rubbers and your good t go! Oh...unless you intended to...you front wheel is mounted backwards and your shocks are upside down. Great work and video...Thanks!

@counterculturecycles1860 Год назад

Yep all original its a imported bike mine was originally sold in England then imported in the 80s and my uncle bought it in the 90s

Why thank you very much I just got a huge order of parts so videos coming soon

@user-wd1qb2vw6d 2 месяца назад

Front disc should be on the left side.

@counterculturecycles1860 2 месяца назад

It is just put the front end back together quick in the video

@davidfowler384 2 года назад

I think the light ears are the wrong way round ignition side should be on left but looking good

@counterculturecycles1860 2 года назад

For a second there had to think about what your talking about but no ignition switch is on the right even checked my photos from before disassembly

@davidfowler384 2 года назад

yes sorry I wasn't very clear it's just my dad has had alot of old triumphs and the ignition key has always been on the left hand side light ear mount but maybe yours is different but don't get me wrong your doing a great job enjoy the vids

@johnmcclain3887 2 года назад

@@davidfowler384 I've got a 78 Bonnie, and the ignition is on the left. My 64 had the ignition in the side cover, a good friend had a 73, and it seems to me, his was on the left headlight ear as well. Been almost fifty years since I saw him last. Enjoying watching this one come together again.

@davidfowler384 2 года назад

@@johnmcclain3887 in sure that front brake disc should be on the left as well and the caliper at the back of the fork leg on the left side

@rickconstant6106 Год назад

That's correct, all the ones I've seen (including my 78 T140V) have had the ignition switch on the left, but what puzzles me is that this one has that type of switch at all. Every other T140E I have seen has the ignition switch mounted on the top yoke between the clocks as part of a panel housing the warning lights. Maybe this is one of the overlap models, where they were using a mixture of old (V) and new (E) spec parts. The front brake should definitely be on the left (see your own first video in this series, and your thumbnail).
