Well I have plenty lined up. Summer is very busy here and I seldom have time to be in the garage so Winter is a good time to hibernate and hopefully get 'er done.
The World's Loooonest Triumph Restoration... '78 T140V Bonneville.
I am very close, after nearly a complete resto, I replaced the Boyer Mk III with an updated Mk IV and I must have crossed something or missed a ground connection or something, no spark. Great, troubleshooting shall commence.
Next lift over is the '76 CB550 that I dragged home and did quite a bit to it and the wiring stalled the progress. The poor thing showed up with Ape Hanger bars and I changed them to a nice, 2" rise bar, installing the new right hand switch which included running the wires through the bars to the headlight...!
Carbs have been gone through...
And finally, there is his '86 LeMans IV that showed up and is in need of recommissioning... I have started the process, carbs, all brake components, cables etc...
So, yeah, I have lots to do... I could bore you to tears with the home projects but, couldn't we all...?
Be well,

What a fantastic thread. :thumb:
Please everyone post plenty of pictures. Some of us really enjoy watching your projects vicariously.
I have nothing to report. Just riding the Zed for now. Probably look at valve lash again at 60 or 70k
Need to motivate myself to get my old BMW F650 back in running trim.
Shorty:
The original throttle body in my RE 350 Meteor has built in electronics that limit the top speed to an indicated 72 MPH. I found out that a different model, The Hunter 350 is unrestricted. I bought the Hunter item from India (the one on the right), and installed it on the bike. Test ride showed about the same slow acceleration, but now it shows an indicated 80 mph. Figure about 25-30 bucks per mph . :grin:
That and now I'm trying to learn guitar. Slow process.
