Tank looks perfect! (or will, after that ding is taken care of)

It just adds character,a little patina maybe.

Yaa...Not quite perfect....Original would be nice
Gary has a Good Eye for what works( Got the Tank from him) ;D
Then again...after SUPDAV works his MAGIC ;)
OK...Timed the Magneto as close as I could for today...just to fire it up
Rebuilt the Old Amal Monobloc Carb...( still getting tooo much air for some reason...OR...maybe back the timing off a bit? )
Here is a VEEDEEOOO for those who wanna hear and see the OL PeachBasket Triumph Running !! ;D

Its bout time!! did you fix the carb? AWESOME DUDE!!!
-

I dunno; look at the strong lengthwise line that particular tank gives: great sense of 'potential movement'; and the round back is going to flow so nicely into the seat...haven't seen the Triumph logos for real, but they appear to 'fit' the tank great.

the Basket lives!! 8)
-
starts easier than the panhead. :D
-
Yaa...you got me there....Hoping to change that this year ;D
Then again ...it starts easier than my little Yamaha MX !! :D
Hans,....Did you say that you were looking for another Yamaha....?? ;D

you should have told me - I won my auction for a Royal Enfield seat today - what are the odds?
what that bike needs - cries out for - is the sprung saddle off of a Puch
-
So it's you who keeps outbidding me 8) ....Cooked up some seat springs untill I find a "Proper" Saddle....
