Triumph 650 Bonneville,
Picked up this Triumph 650 some months ago and i am going to rebuild it back to running etc.
It has a sad story the owner was at some time going to restore the motorcycle and sadly
He passed away and the motorcycle was left to his Sister and all she wanted was the motor
Cycle rebuilt and running and a picture, so now i am a owner of a Triumph to get running and
I will at time to time send picture of the rebuild, and then when finished she will be over to
See the motorcycle, so now i have started and striped down to the frame ready for power
Coating when done it will look nice with the Bridgestones.
Thanks.
Steve.

g day Steve
they are a beautiful bike cant wait to see it finished .hope everything goes smooth .the biggest problem I have with triumphs    is the flood of absolute crap aftermarket parts cheap and nasty stuff good luck with it

[grundlegrabber]

Bonnevilles are nice bikes, have always wanted one. Prices on those have gone way up over the years. As coxy said, lotta substandard, poor quality repop/aftermarket out there. I would imagine original parts are getting scarce these days. Good luck with the project.

Coxy and grundlegrabber,
I am keeping 2  British motorcycles and one is the 650 Bonneville and i have a 1966 T20 Tiger cub.
For the collection, but i am going to rebuild this 650 like the one in the picture i normally rebuild
Japanese motorcycles it will be a change.
Thanks.
Steve.

[coxy]

are you going to paint it tangerine ? I think that's the 69colour could be wrong

[reed]

coxy,
The color of the tank for that year is Alaskan white/ gold etc.
Thanks.
Steve.
