Hi, Glen. Did you have to replace the chrome wheels, or was the finish on them still good? My bike is same model and year, but the XL80S model. Had it since new here in the Pacific NW, and the chrome plating was so thin on the wheels that it has become very pitted and rusty. It cleans up OK, but they get rusty again in a year or two. I would like to replace them, or have them rechromed but would prefer replacing them. Do have a suggestion where I might get them?
@batorinternational8 ай бұрын
The wheels were still very nice so I did not have to replate or replace them. Sounds like you are going to have to source a set or have yours rechromed.

@@batorinternational OK. Thanks for your reply. I was hoping to avoid working with the spokes, but may have to buck up and git-er-done. Take care!

I love those early Sportsters, but that horn would have to go. At least for as long as I owned it. I used to own a 1966 Triumph Bonneville, and it had a normal motorcycle horn. I've never seen a British bike with a horn like that. It just looks tacky to me.

I got a question,im a bit of a triumph nut thanks to me dad lol,but why did they run the square head and barrels on the GP bikes and was it only for a couple of modles
@batorinternational4 ай бұрын
Only GP Models and stationary generators or air compressors from what I can recall

@@batorinternational The origin of the square barrel top end is because it was used as the engine for an airfield generator set during World War Two and the square top end was a much easier shape to shroud for fan cooling. It was the first time Triumph had use an alloy top end, it was sand cast and had pretty good gas flow apparently so after the war it was used for the GP engine of which I believe they made about 120 examples. They also used this engine in the 1949-50 Trophy of which I have a 1949 example. In late 1950 they introduced the die cast top end which had a splayed head and much finer finning and was used again on the Trophy and also the T100. I hope this helps.

It's a racing International, the term 'Manx' was not used on them until 1939. It has some parts used for the '39 model 'International to Manx specification', as they were named, such as the magnesium crank cases and 8" conical iron front hub. The head is aluminium over a bronze inner casting, and is the same as fitted to Internationals up to 1951, when they went plain alloy. The fins are not the large square fin item first offered to the public in '39 on that Inter to Manx spec. The 'Manx' Norton was made a separate model in 1947 when the first of the race bikes was made available to race riders after WW2.

how long can oil be left in?
@batorinternational Жыл бұрын
Depends on the bike and if the oil pump sumps in to the low end. If you are going to put it in to storage, I would suggest draining the oil, dry out the gas tank as well as the fuel lines and carburetor. Remove the battery as well.
