1977 Triumph Bonneville Restoration - Intro
Channel: rexstuff
Date: 29/01/2013

Take a look at my recently acquired 1977 Triumph Bonneville T140V. As I mention in the video, I hope to restore it to as close to how it came from the factory as I reasonable can.

Sorry about the crappy camerawork, all I have to use is my Galaxy S3 for now.

After some tinkering and analysis, I think before I strip it right down, I'd like to evaluate the state of the engine, and the best way to do that is by getting it to start. It's a ways from that still, so first I think I'll test out the electrics, see if I can get a spark. After that, we'll see, perhaps I'll see why the carbs were half-off the bike, maybe open up the chaincase.

And it seems that the bar across the exhaust IS actually standard on SOME '77s. I can't quite figure out which ones or why.

Feel free to leave suggestions, tips, advice and any other sort of feedback!
