1967 Triumph T100C: PT 9 "The FINALE! - Barn Find Desert Sled

This is it! The Tarantula gets finished up and I getta rip around on the desert. Thanks everybody who has watched this build video series. It was an exercise in finding spare time and money, but boy o boy did it pay off.

Man oh man! I binge watched this and I’m spent. Great videos. What a great build. 500’s are underrated.

This series made me want to rebuild my tiger cub. I love this 👍

[@suzukisav]

Sounds a treat! I reckon I'm 3 videos away from my 350 being started. Can't wait.

Hello, Thank you for your help with your videos, I'm working on my 1969 Triumph Daytona T100T. And trying to find parts for my 1955 T100R alloy head & barrel flat track racer. Fritz from Riverside, CA.

I had done the same clamp and spacer set up on my Ekins style pipes I guess were not that original

[@Ry_to_live_r]

Where did you get the Ekin style pipes?

[@vorhese]

I kept my eye on ebay for about 4 months!

[@mikecampell]

I haven't heard them called a sled since the sixty's.

[@ronpage101]

Thanks for the tutorial. That's going to be a hoot at the Bitwell 100!

Great bike. I did my first partial top end on my OIF Triumph T140 recently. (I needed to replace base and head gaskets and push rod tube seals which were leaking pretty bad.) I guess I didn't tighten down one of the valve adjuster nuts enough cause after a test ride I opened it up to double check my valve adjustments and the nut had come off and was just sitting there. That was scary. I reached in, picked it up and put it back on. The bike was running great for the first 100 miles or so I put it on, but one of the pushrods broke yesterday while I was out on a ride. Not sure what causes a push rod to break. I didn't replace them when I had the top end apart. Now I'm going to replace all 4 of them while I have the rocker boxes off.

[@pauliebots]

I don't know what makes a push rod fail (happened to me) but I put solid ones back and have not had a problem. I had the ones with the caps on the ends.

[@vorhese]

You change your valve springs? The wrong tension will pop those suckers.

[@weemsmotorco]

Heck Yeah brother! All about a good time!

[@jarrodscott6899]
