im in the middle of restoring a 1970 triumph bonne. so far its pretty straightforward, even though i dont have much of a mechanical background. tomorrow the pieces go out to be powder coated.

gonna be weird......shifting on the right
ive already gotten used to it. i rode it for about a month before the motor seized. its gonna be weird getting re-adjusted to left shift now.
you could always make it a jokey shift......those are pretty cool
what kind of triumph is it??
cant jokey a right hand shift, or i would. 1970 bonneville t120r. they just did a four part series on discovery health and leisure where they restored my exact bike. its the classic brittish racing bike.
Restoring a 1971 Harley Davidson dirt bike...quite a bitch buying replacement parks for an extinct bike...when I live in Italy!
Yeah, you have it sooooo bad, huh Bama? :rolleyes: ;)Quote:

really nice bike. just put in a rebuilt tranny and new exhaust system. the shifting in triumphs is the smoothest ive ever felt in a motorcyle, and ive been on a lot.
