Description

The windows were rattling in the villages near Mount Edgecumbe this weekend. Posted this one for Dale (Tallpindo) because I know he's a cafe racer fan. Thanks for looking.

The twin down tubes say it is probably a custom frame. No ugly malleable iron lugs to attach either. The engine looks to be a unit consgtruction Bonneville with twin Amal concentric carburetors. I better be careful Triumph did make some 750 twins after my time. Clip-ons and tank dents for quick eSSes. Simple megaphones for all out speed not reverse cones for more torque. Twin leading shoe front brake but not particularly large in diameter. Girling rear shoes. Most likely revalved front forks and not the stronger internal sprung type with bare sliders. Avon or Dunlop rubber not triangular. Five and maybe six gallon gas tank. Tachometer over the head. I guess for British I would wonder why it has headlights and taillights and no fender sideways plate. Can it ton up at the Isle of Man? You would have to ask!
