I purchased this as a basket case and it has been a long <B>slow</B> process but I am getting closer now to what she is to be. These are all fairly recent as I have not gotten my film developed for the older pics.</div> <div> But first a quick overview for you to read while the pics load (click on any to enlarge).</div> <div> 1973 Triumph T140V</div> <div> Tiger head (single carb): some mild porting, performance springs, and hardened valve seats.</div> <div> .040 over bore</div> <div> Has a spun rod bearing so hopefully I will be able to spin the crank down and resize the rods. Don't know how far yet but keep checking back as I am going to do the rebuild myself and will document it all here beginning with the tear down in the next week or two. And the rebuild as money and time allows.</div> <div> Forward Controls (either home built or maybe purchased from <A HREF="http://www.mapenterprises.net/mapcycle/" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.mapenterprises.net/mapcycle/"><U>Map Cycle</U></A>)</div> <div> The forks are approximately 6" over from a T140 (had to purchase 2 sets in order to get 1 useable set).</div> <div> Home rewire with Typanium replacing rectifier and zener diode.</div> <div> 4" over hardtail</div> <div> That's probably enough reading for now. Let's get on to the pics:</div> <div> <A HREF="id77.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Engine Rebuild"><U>Click here for the engine pics</U></A> or <A HREF="id94.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="More of my Triumph pics"><U>here for the next round of pics</U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id68.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Stock front"><U><IMG SRC="14982b40.jpg" border=0 width="130" height="180" ALT="The first front end" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="5" VSPACE="5"></U></A><FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Book Antiqua" >This is the first front end. The trees turned out to the wrong ones and the tubes were shot. Although the internals are all good and some needed in front end #2.</FONT></div> <div> I traded this for the mag that is on the showa front end that was on the bike when I got it.</div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id69.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Extended front"><U><IMG SRC="14efab40.jpg" border=0 width="250" height="180" ALT="Front end #2" ALIGN="LEFT" HSPACE="5" VSPACE="5"></U></A>The second front end tubes are about 6" over. This one had the right trees but one leg wouldn't move. I tore them down and found that the damper tube and valve had corroded to the point that the o-ring had frozen in the bore (good thing I have two). The fork leg which carries the brake caliper has stress cracks by the drain plug I assume from the caliper being on the wrong side of the bike and trying to tear the leg off at every stop. Tubes are kinda rusty but are cleaning to a useable condition. By the way I am not building a show bike. I plan to ride the living shit out this scoot!!<BG></div> <div> <A HREF="id70.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Oil tank"><U><IMG SRC="150fab40.jpg" border=0 width="250" height="180" ALT="Oil tank back side" ALIGN="LEFT" HSPACE="5" VSPACE="5"><IMG SRC="152fab40.jpg" border=0 width="250" height="180" ALT="Oil tank front" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="5" VSPACE="5"></U></A></div> <div>  I swapped the showa forks I had gotten with the bike for this oil tank.</div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id71.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Oil tank installed"><U><IMG SRC="154fab40.jpg" border=0 width="250" height="180" ALT="Oil tank on left side" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="5" VSPACE="5"><IMG SRC="156fab40.jpg" border=0 width="250" height="180" ALT="Oil tank on right side" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="5" VSPACE="5"></U></A></div> <div>  Here is the oil tank mounted onto the hardtail. I made a couple L shaped brackets and loosely bolted them to the tank held the tank in position and tacked them into place, removed the tank from the brackets and welded the brackets solid. Don't forget to wear gloves as I burnt the hell out of my fingers tacking them on. And don't let someone come over and bother you it ended up taking a case and a half of beer and two days to get this done.<G></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id72.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Frame"><U><IMG SRC="158fab40.jpg" border=0 width="250" height="180" ALT="Frame as I puchased it" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="5" VSPACE="5"></U></A>Here is the T100R frame pretty much the way I bought it. The hardtail is broke and the kick stand didn't come with it.</div> <div> These are the forks and wheel that I swapped for other parts.</div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id73.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Assembled right side"><U><IMG SRC="15afab40.jpg" border=0 width="250" height="180" ALT="Assembled" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="5" VSPACE="5"></U></A><A HREF="id74.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Assembled left side"><U><IMG SRC="15cfab40.jpg" border=0 width="250" height="180" ALT="Assembled (left side)" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="5" VSPACE="5"></U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id75.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Front end"><U><IMG SRC="15fb4fa0.jpg" border=0 width="180" height="250" ALT="Front veiw" ALIGN="LEFT" HSPACE="5" VSPACE="5"></U></A> These three are of the assembled bike as it sits right now. I assembled it after receiving the extended front end just to see how everything fit and looks. The hardtail in these and in the oil tank on frame pics is the one I bought to replace the broken one that came with the bike. The battery box and those other brackets were already on it and I have no idea what they were for but I think they will make for a good spot to mount exhaust hangers. The tank, seat, and rear fender all came with the bike and I plan to use the tank and seat but the fender is shot and will have to be replaced. The risers in these pics either need changed to use my 1" drag bars or I have to find a set of  7/8 inch ones. Just waiting till I get that far.</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id76.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Map cycle forward controls"><U><IMG SRC="161fab40.jpg" border=0 width="250" height="180" ALT="Forward controls" ALIGN="LEFT" HSPACE="5" VSPACE="5"></U></A> This pic is of a chopper that was on <A HREF="http://www.ebaymotors.com" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.ebaymotors.com"><U>EBay</U></A> a while ago.
