Outstanding work!!!

It's progressing nicely..........

It's good to see that you are keeping as many original parts as you can.

It’s coming along very nicely Chris 👍

Hmmm... the rocker arm is floating all over the place because you have left out a crucial component - the rocker fulcrum spring (65-1117) sits between the washer and the rocker arm, and ensures correct arm contact with valve head. You need to get a parts book to make sure you assemble correctly. Also the rocker spindle seems rather slack...I would expect to have the heat the head up before fitting. Maybe you cleaned it up a bit too much in the lathe...

looks good.

Steve 👏👏👏👏👌 Cheers Chris

yum yum love it gary

When I was an eager 17 y/o on my cb350, Jeff Framcomb kindly trued up my wheels for me , before I could comprehend such an operation. He asked nothing for it, legend

Have a good Christmas and new year. 👍🇬🇧

Always look forward to your videos Chris,they are very informative about the old bikes and history around them just like this one of Pastry Dave, Alan enjoys himself telling the story around them. All the best Chris & Alan and your family have a great Xmas and hope 2025 is a good year for you all. “Stay safe on the roads”.

Very enjoyable look into the old girl’s past . 👍🏁

Great job, Chris and Allan. Another great year from the hagon factory. Merry Xmas from the Owen clan.

What a great story........The provenance of these bikes is sometimes more interesting than the bike itself. You guys have done a great job with these productions and deserve all the subscribers you have. You and Alan have a Merry Christmas and a safe and happy New Year. I look forward to next year's instalments.

Coming along nicely!

Another great production Chris and a great story as well. The bike is coming along a treat and looks fantastic. Thanks for the update and Merry Xmas.

Give us a yell if you or the old boy come down to Tassie!

Good point on the rear brake torque arm, i think mines bolted up solid not allowing for float !. Do those sprung hubs travel in a small arc or just up and down?, putting the chain under tension at extreme travel?. Good bloke Alan, having a m/c in your front room is a sign of commitment, good on ya' mate, enjoy.

Last year I read a ton of Velocette books. They were sending race bikes to Australia and New Zealand to get them out of their hair. They figured the locals would have to learn how to work on them which was better than people bringing them back to the factory (which was taking up valuable time). Did Triumph do the same?

Progress is looking good.

Great video Chris & Al . 👍🏁

crosplane or inline ?

Great video. Great background music.

I'm wearing that purple long sleeve you see.

Caught up with Alan on Saturday and checked out the latest status. As always everything is top level.

Hi guys , you talked about the mount for the arm on the rear brake plate . I guess it is the same as the T100 fitted with that type of frame , and it mounts on bracket that swivels on the back of the brake pedal spindle . I have a spare one . Do you guys have an email address so we can talk ?

Would you post a list of the upgrades used on the motor ,those con rods look new. but it looks like you still need a remote float chamber for the carbs ,matchbox type would fit nicely . love the square finning design .

Thats a generator motor out of an aircraft.

Davo from England again. PPS. If you have a timing cover with sufficient metal around the crankshaft oil feed bush it is a good mod to bore out the bush and substitute an oil seal and circlip from a unit 650. Much better oil pressure so less likely to go bang. Regards Davo.

Hi, Davo from Gloucester England. Re megaphones. Armours in Uk do a good repro. Re Smiths Rev counter drive. (Same as race kit) Took me about 10 years to find mine. Not seen another since. Your best bet would be to make one using the gear and shortened shaft from the lucas dynamo and use an angle drive from a unit Bonnie or similar. The original is a very tight fit between the engine plate and the timing case. With the dynamo engine plate you have a bit more room. If you need an oil filter (Vokes) I know of a spare.( I would not bother as the brass filter element is the size of a cotton reel and clogs with crap after about 10 miles) Don't forget to sleeve the inlet manifold with a thin wall tube or you will get air leaks next to the allen screw cut outs. Best regards Davo (Occasional visitor to Moore Park Beach, Nr Bundaberg. PS Its snowing here !!!!!!!.)

Change music it killed me trying to watch this

sprung hub brake anchor has a bracket that connects to the back of the brake pedal spindle......am running a standard wheel on the '51 Thunderbird under construction here in NZ.....

Awesome work fellas! Give us a hoy if you're ever coming down to Tassie!

Great project! There is an original Second World War Triumph generator in a museum in Northland New Zealand, still in the box, which has fascinated me for years. It has the same square alloy barrel as your race engine.

Beautiful Alan 👍🏁🏁🏁

I couldn't make it the Bendigo Swap meet this year, but I am glad you were able to share this video ! Thank you!

Take a leaf out of the USA shows.....particularly Dave FROM BULLEN CYCLES interesting video clips. None of that noisy bloody music !!!!!!

Turn that noisy music racket down for Christ sake !

Hi Chris.............I was there Saturday and it's been the first trip back post covid. Brought my son and stepson with me as well for the weekend. I must admit the volume of bike stuff around was a lot less than last time, however we did get a good haul of useful parts. Some of the bikes on offer were very well priced in some cases. With how much money the event brings to town, do you think the council would step and keep it running? We actually arrived on the friday and left Monday. I took the boys into town to see the Black Swan and a few other places, and just driving around town it's not hard to pick who was at the swap meet.............Great production once again.

Glad I could turn the volume Off

Im mobily immobile So this is fantastic, cheers beer's

Great video. I remember the Bultacos and the rest being tested up and down Marshall Crescent as a kid back in the 70's. We lived across the road from the Sens'.

2025 is the last year

I was there it was so awesome

Cool thanks

Love the video. Can you tell me what the last song is.

What's wrong with the music?

The Gatton Swap Meet died . ...now its all deluded grifters onthe net

Thank Christ I could mute, that terrible background noise.

Mate, at the risk of sounding like a dik, what's a three speed clutch?
