Chopper Top End Install! Pistons, Cylinder, & Head!

[@shadyvito]

That is a bike that no one owns. They are merely the present caretaker. I think, that for now, you are the perfect caretaker of that motorcycle. You should hold onto it until you find someone that is worthy of the job being passed onto.

[@weemsmotorco]

Good Call!

[@williamwarren9362]

Keep it. That is a piece of motorcycle history.

[@weemsmotorco]

Sure!!!

[@jamesdimario8359]

I've been riding for over 50 years and have owned 3 BSA'S, 6 or so Triumphs, and many Honda's etc. I'm down to 1 63 TR6 that has been with me since 82 and till I'm done. Would love to have almost every single one back and would keep that gem in a heartbeat ..JIM

[@weemsmotorco]

1963!!! The first year Unit Construction, such a great bike!

[@mikealphonse1883]

Sell it Weems. Somebody out here should have that awesome bike to ride around.

[@weemsmotorco]

That would be cool!

[@PeterSmith-or3pq]

😢 no give away

[@everetttew6040]

You've done a pile of work on her. Give her the respect she deserves, make her a daily rider.

[@weemsmotorco]

Okay!!!!

[@papawpopsrigby7664]

Are Ya Kidding ?!? Keep It and Ride the Hell out of it !! Love It !

[@weemsmotorco]

Right on!

[@krisrehn]

Cool bike! Put it at Wheels through time

[@weemsmotorco]

Good idea!

[@oldgrunt32]

Keep it so others could see the history of the culture..PARTY AT THE PEN crowd would dig it

[@weemsmotorco]

Good Call!

[@angren8]

Keep it! Eventually you can do a family Triumph ride!

[@weemsmotorco]

Maybe one day!

[@docdp5532]

I think you should hold on to this one for awhile and enjoy it. It has such an awesome story that you have added on to and brought it back to life.

[@weemsmotorco]

Thanks and will do!

[@greybrawn]

You gotta keep it and ride it.... A lot of history in that Triumph. A Weems legend so say'th the Judge haha .... Great video

[@weemsmotorco]

For sure!!

[@troubledtraveler9684]

The judge needs a road tour. As many states you feel comfortable doing. Be safe and have fun.

[@weemsmotorco]

That sounds awesome!

[@chopperguy6661]

Keep it and pass it around to the differant motorcycle museums!

[@weemsmotorco]

Great idea!

[@LaRangerDave]

I'd have to say that it would make an awesome daily rider.. its got provenance.. keep it and ride it.

[@weemsmotorco]

Agreed!

[@tristanbuckoke9121]

Keep it mate You have done a respectful rebuild on it keeping the outside in as found condition. You are probably one of the few people best suited to being the carer of such a historic motorcycle. Take care mate cheers from Australia 🇦🇺

[@weemsmotorco]

Thanks 👍

[@vangoodwin7335]

The JUDGE deserves a quality home with you Brother! At this stage I can already smell the exhaust. Through the video all I could think was wiring. Never done a Triumph but I always want to rush the wiring to fire up a new engine. But you are the MAN and that's done, can't wait for the fire up!!! Maybe it's time for the wifey to have her own bike and the Judge could be it. I've never had a passenger. Every woman I've been with either got her own or stayed home, I know- I am an ass. Good Luck Jared, she's a Beauty. RESPECT You are in my prayers Hoka Hey

[@weemsmotorco]

Great Idea!!!

[@zacjohnson_87]

Ride it on a trip, show it.. has an amazing story

[@weemsmotorco]

[@weemsmotorco]

[@motoalley]

[@weemsmotorco]

Thanks! Will do!

[@westhighlandtradingco7432]

I'd say keep it unless you can find someone who will care for it the way it should be! I'm not totally a triumph guy and I think it should stay the way you've built it!

[@weemsmotorco]

That person may be hard to find!

[@brunocoppola2639]

Good Day Weems Motor Co

Morning!

Keep it and enjoy until it’s time to part. Thats an awesome piece of history

[@fearsomename4517]

Just make it a daily rider. I really like the patina look. Your 56 drag bike is a masterpiece.

[@weemsmotorco]

I love this bike series and watching this bike get put together. Peace buy peace this is a special bike, keep it for sure✌🏽

[@weemsmotorco]

That will make an excellent daily ride. I had one in the early 70s for commuting to work and sunny day rides

[@weemsmotorco]

Right on!

[@littlesamshow]

Keep it and ride it.

[@weemsmotorco]

Oh Yeah!!!

[@dietrichess9997]

That's great information about the gaps in the rings, thanks! I missed this episode on Sunday. I was out of town, at "Canada's Largest Outdoor Flea Market" apparently. This cool older cat had a shed full of tools (and some good stories) and I rooted around in one of the boxes and found myself some Witworth wrenches! 🙂

[@weemsmotorco]

That is RAD!

[@upchuckchops]

That rig is looking good. All my motorcycle shows on KZbin come out on Sunday, Weems Motor Co, Her Two Wheels, Shadetree Surgeon, Cheylesi, and SaddleTramp. It is like back in the day "must see TV " on NBC.

[@weemsmotorco]

And we are all friends too!

[@corricatt]

[@weemsmotorco]

Perfect!

[@life_behind_bars]

You should raffle it off! I would love a shot at winning a classic Triumph, and I promise I wouldn't let all the Harleys in my garage pick on him 😂

Need to get some of those WMC stickers, raffle that beautiful bike off for charity

[@weemsmotorco]

Thanks Gary!

[@lowdat1494]

its a keeper for sure. make a plaque with the bikes history, and take it to shows. seems fitting.

[@weemsmotorco]

Deal!

[@gaydes1012]

once the bike is done I think you should hang onto it, as cool as it would be to do a giveaway or sell it, you're probably the best caretaker for that bike

For Sure!

[@weemsmotorco]

Thanks!

[@KeithHuntsman-TaFl]

Thanks for another great class...I'll have to review previous vids, wondering what the cam lift and duration is for the valves. You have to stay the owner, it's part of you. At least for a couple years. I like that idea someone mentioned about loaning it to the museums. ✌️ 🤍

[@weemsmotorco]

Sounds Great!

[@terrymassey7619]

[@weemsmotorco]

So cool!

[@Sherry-jx9hs]

So I missed the ring compressor removal. I am assuming you get the pistons started and take it out before dropping the cylinders on. really like watching you fix them old bikes :)

[@weemsmotorco]

That is correct

[@robklunder2700]

Awesome machine. Love your show. I've got a couple unit Triumphs. I'd daily ride it. Kind of a shop truck. Through some old period correct looking leather bags and use it for picking up parts. I want to build my 69 bonnie to resemble this bike your building.

[@weemsmotorco]

Right on! Shop Truck!!!

[@TwoWheeledHepkat]

I would take it on a nice long road trip with some buddies. Maybe head to the Ozarks for an amazing ride. Then, If you’re looking to finance your next project, either raffle it or make it one of the Forgotten Angels bikes. But honestly, I don’t sell anything, so I’d just keep it. Still go to the Ozarks with my buddies, but just keep it.

[@weemsmotorco]

Same here, I feel it may be a keeper!

[@chrisbaucom4832]

@@weemsmotorco Thanks for adding all the detail on the SQUISH - It took me about 12 full hours today; slowed down by rocker box gasket removal, and the 100 tries to get the intake pushrods into position. Now to get some mileage on it and hopefully not bathe the engine cases in oil!!!

Oh That Bike is so awesome, hard to say what you should do with it. I mean, if I had it i would keep it till the day i died, I would also have to go to town teaching myself to to TRIUMPH for sure because, i doubt I would trust anyone to tinker with it if something occurred. Since i could never afford to buy it though and You are already triumph schooled hard core, i'd suggest you keep it forever. but i know how ya are and you always got something going on and I know it;s hard to say but sometimes people say I have too many! LOL this ones so cool though, i imagine it sitting next to the rainmaker. ( yeah, if I had won that raffle broham, i'd be sending you a pic every Christmas . Moondog on the Rainmaker LOL... and My wife would still be mad of course. i do wonder that would bring for sale though. it's so bad to the bone. not enough to want you to sell it of course but still "I wonder"

[@weemsmotorco]

You are on point! Im gonna enjoy it!

[@brianb7960]

First could you please tell me what brand spring compressor you use? Now as for the bike it seems for now you are the caretaker of its story and you are adding to it. When I see a bike that the shadetree surgeon has up for the raffle it's seeing his adventures on the bike and the work he puts into it that makes it cool and that is what you are doing with the judge. Have fun go on adventures and maybe someday pass it on to the next one. Take care and be safe

Did someone bet him how many times he could use the word 'index' incorrectly? It's good that gaskets are now being used and attempts made to keep the oil inside. The Richter video is well worth a watch, he waffles on occasion, but goes more in depth and seems competent. It's worth buying a new Amal Premier carb, if Mikuni is considered unoriginal, then you won't have a worn Amal body, slide and inaccessible pilot passage to drive you nuts on mixture settings.
