Storm came before I could take more Picts. Every nut and bolt gone through. Lots of fun and reliable upgrades. I’ll post details during the week

Every time I see these Lemans rebuilds/restos, I have to resist the urge to fill up my garage with all manner of rolling baskets, boxes of parts, half started projects and the like. Took a move cross country to finally clear out the debris, except for the bin full of junk I have for my Triumph.  Gah, I can't wait to get them kids out so I can go full greybeard :cool:

Nice job. It looks like you built it to ride it, not put behind a glass case.

Looks great!!  Kinda jealous of your seat.  Though willing to give the stocker a try on my own.   Those header pipes look nice n fat!  Imagine she sounds terrrific

What's the consensus on fork braces for the 35mm stock forks?

The Gamman saddle is tolerable, I have one and a corbin gunfighter. But the stock unit is like a 2x8 with pine knots on your arse.  :wink:

Made a noticeable and positive difference on my '83 SP. Same forks.

Thanks, LarryS...I'll have to keep my eyes open.   Seems like Tarozzi was the main source for them.

I had the Gaman seat many years ago and it was too hard but maybe they are better now. While I currently have the stock seat on my Lemans,which I find to be too soft on long rides, I will probably install this new seat which I purchased awhile go for my project. They are on eBay now for a reasonable amount of money.
