Lovely Art , when motor is sorted and wiring brought up to date becomes a light weight enjoyable ride . I've noticed with new and old riders on early models with large capacity machines they seem to forget a good mouthful of fuel for each piston on start up , a strong spark and a good mouthful of fuel and bang first second kick and that motor will happily start , one more point on start up particularly with a cold engine is , when your engine has just fired up do not let your engine strain because you have set your idle speed too low , keep 'warm up revs' to a steady idle speed , you can feel when your motor is at its own happy idle warmup speed , it's all about having even and smooth pressure pulses on the crankshaft, especially with older British machines.. twins ,triples in particular.
Bought a brand new bonny in Sept 69 for £395. Once it was sorted out by the factory in Feb 70 it was a brilliant bike. Did over 20,000 miles on the bike before parting company 2 years later. TUM66H, still out there somewhere.
Motor is 1970 or later, '66/68 seat ( no pillion grab rail ), '68 front brake & nave plate, exhaust system, tank & badges are '67/68, rear shocks no later than '68.Wrong speedo fitted.No oil pressure switch fitted so why is headlight oil warning light coming on.Tacho drive / cable incorrectly fitted. Frame could be anywhere from '66 to '69 ( not '70 ) so engine & frame numbers will not match.

67 to 69 triumphs were beautiful bikes.
Very nice example of a beautiful machine.
Nice bike. They sound almost as good as an A10.
The bird's wing badges were the best. TLS brake drove me nuts!😂

Might be a 69 reg but thats a 68 spec bonnie lovely bike
I agree 100% about NGK plugs, I'm not a fan. In old stuff anyway.
Had a 69 T120R. Not a comfortable bike and battery would die if you used the headlight. Easy to work on though.
its a 68 not a 69 look at the front wheel and no exhaust balance pipe.
‘68 model, but registered 1969 (G) by the looks
@@timparish172 the seat is not a 68 0r 69
