Re: TRIUMPH DESERT SLED RESTO

The carb which is an old Amal 376 Monobloc will be replaced with one similar but in good condition. The air cleaner is missing so the plan is to make one. Webco made one for the TR6 back then.

Re: TRIUMPH DESERT SLED RESTO

I got the primary cases welded up and machined so it will be oil tight :lol: One of the reasons the center was badly broken is due to the loose foot rest bolt that goes through the primary cases, through the frame and to the right foot peg.

TRIUMPH DESERT SLED RESTO

I started riding seriously in 1962. The day after I graduated from high school I bought a brand new Triumph Bonneville.
