New transmission

One step closer to a roller

I finally found all the parts I needed to rebuild the front forks. This might have been the hardest part so far of the rebuild. The original forks that sat outside for 25 years were rusted to nothing. The only thing I could use off of them were the Dust Excluder Sleeve Nut. I have bought 3 set of forks off of ebay and none of them worked. Just a warning people will say anything to sell there stuff on ebay. I finally found a local guy who sold me a 68 triumph front fork and all is good.

I used the internal parts from the 68 forks and bought some new tubes from my Racing Norton's guy. Mike gave me the bottom members and finally we are assembled. I also bought some new handle bars.

next up the front wheel.

Seat mock up

I have been working on the seat and think I have found the way I would like the bike to look. You have to use a little imagination but I think this is right there.

The cases are now one
