1966 Triumph T120r Owners Manual
WORKSHOP MANUAL. Pride of ownership is built into this Triumph, Rugged good looks combine with complete dependability for supreme. TRIUMPH BONNEVILLE 120 (T120). Oil is fed to the valve operating mechanism.
As much I was want to start going clockwise, I am still waiting on a few things. I called Walrige to check on an order placed over a month ago. They sent my spoke kits and front rim, but never received another of my online orders for a bunch of other parts, so I reordered.
I would like to have everything at hand before I can build a rolling chassis. In the interim, I sorted the hardware, and prepped the tank for paint. Skip from installed new valve guides and new seats, valves and springs arrived from Kibblewhite so he will finish my head soon. For me, motorcycles are not investments and should be ridden, hard and often. But given the amount of time and money I put in to my bikes I am curious to see what they are selling for. There was a Mecum auction in Las Vegas this weekend with six 1966 Triumph T120R Bonnevilles and and two TT's models.
Five of the six Bonnevilles sold for and average price of $11,150. My project should come in under half that amount for parts, machine, work, plating and vapor blasting, but I am not calculating my labor which will be around 200 hours when I'm done.
Mind you, much of that time is researching and sourcing the cheapest parts and a fair amount of time drinking beer and staring at my bike, processing and thinking. This is a fun hobby and would not like to do this for a living. Hot off the truck (well cold actually, Minnesota, it's winter.), my freshly cadmium plated hardware! I can start going clockwise on Friday. The final parts are trickling in and when I get a window of time, this bike will come together rather quickly.
Ray, I bought quality Japanese Nachi wheel bearings so I should be good to go. It would be interesting to know how they plate all these tiny bits without there being 'bare spots' where they are touching each other at some point.? Are they all completely plated when you get them back or are there little 'contact points'? I've never had anything cad-plated. 3 steps forward, two steps back After two days in the shop I have the wheels laced and trued and am doing the final alignment of the center of the rims.
It is is a long, slow and tedious process to get the center of the rims perfectly offset and aligned to one another, but worth the effort. I trued both rims to.004' radial and axial runout. The front fork seals and fork sliders took a couple of hours to clean and chase the threads because there was old paint, thread sealer?, teflon?
Crud and the seal holders would not go on easily until perfectly clean. I should be able to mount the tires, rebuild front and rear brake drums, and have a rolling chassis by Friday. Skip bored and honed my freshly painted cylinder barrel and I can start on the motor next week. The days are getting longer and looking forward to the first ride this spring.
Thanks Allan and TR6. This bike is starting to come together. Allan I have done 5 CB400F's. They grow up so quickly I had a productive evening in Skip’s shop last night and finished aligning the rim centers, mounted new tubes and tires, assembled the brake hubs and now have a roller!
Skip finished a perfect hone on my cylinder and the ring gaps were dead on. I have a little bit of time this evening to mount the centre stand, bars, brake stay, fender stays, and more. More good news, /Burlen emailed me this morning to say the carb set I need was back in stock so I ordered them.
The carbs the final piece in the puzzle so the bike should come together fairly quickly (when I can eek out some free time). Rubber meets the road, err, the shop floor Skip, master at work, honing freshly bored cylinders. A quick update, I have made intermittent progress in the last 2 weeks. Although it does not look like much, it took many hours.
The fenders were repaired in the English wheel, sanded, polished, and mounted. The tail light and seat were installed and I started on the oil tank I bought off E-bay only to realize it did not have mounted tags as my original chrome oil tank has, so I fabricated two tabs and had Skip weld them. I cleaned the interior of oil tank a few more times, fogged it with oil and then mounted it. We also welded up the crack on the side cover and I will finish prepping and painting it this week. I started on the wiring yesterday and finished all the wiring, soldering new bullet ends, etc in the headlamp assembly. I still need to research and decide how I want to wire a kill switch. There is a lot of confusion on the kill button for this bike and I am not sure which to use.
I should be able to finish the wiring, mount the new Podtronics regulator and ignition this week and then hound Skip to finish cutting my new valve seats so I can build the motor. Spring is here and I should be able to get out on the Gold Star for the first ride of the year!
Soon I will be riding this bike too. I eeked out a few hours of free time this week and continued to go clockwise. /URL Heated in the shop oven Bearings in the freezer Here we go Clean and reground crankshaft, new sludge trap and cap Machined con rods, new small bushes, new shell bearings, and con rod nuts. The lower end is in the frame, timing side is done, and I’ll try to find the time to install the gearbox, primary components, pistons and barrel this week. Skip will machine my head’s valve seats this week too, so the motor can be finished soon.
