1966 Triumph 650cc Bonneville T120 TT Special

Starting with the engine and gearbox, both were fully rebuilt, with Bruce Barker machining parts. The engine with new carbs was then mounted in the original, matching-numbers frame, freshly powder coated. Paizon ignition was installed for greater reliability. The wheels were rebuilt with unpolished stainless spokes, new bushes and wheel bearings, and brakes were fully overhauled. A new, cloth-covered wiring harness was installed with a new battery. The tank was beautifully painted in the correct white and striped.
The bike starts easily and idles well. It is tremendously powerful with a crackle and bark from the TT pipes, especially when it comes on cam and you feel a burst of thrust. Intoxicating and addictive. It shifts perfectly through the TT specification 4-speed ‘box, via an excellent clutch with no slip. Brakes, suspension all work perfectly as does the electrical system with fully operational lights. There is no oil leak.
