Thank you so very much it worked👍👍👍

Brilliant. Ta.

“He’s no longer with us” He moved to Hawaii 😂

Thank you for emphasizing that the ubiquitous click type wrench must be used from the handgrip in order to be accurate. Different designs where this isn't necessary are becoming more common nowadays, and that might be leading people to think that all torque wrenches can be used with a cheater bar or choked up on.

Got my 63 thru 70 shop manual from the bonneville shop today, kudos guys, very cool and informative,

Plz..are the spigots self taping or do i need to take off the head to my 71 t120 and have a shop thread the head ?...Thx...B.K.

I enjoyed the video. Find the music distracting. IMO.

Do you guys have any experience drilling out the little spiral nails that hold the patent plate in? I got a cover already sanded down and when I polished it I notice little starlike marks where the plate was..formed a triangle. I heard they were not easy to drill out. Any thoughts?

guys, it's ok to use a cheater bar, the torque wrench with still be as accurate as holding the handle. where you are applying force only matters when you're calibrating it.

what is the oil gap distance ? O,01? Is it?  

I have no idea what the fuck I was supposed to be seeing here. You obscured the orientation of the clip with your hands.

A lot of time and effort to remove the plug doing it that way. I suggest drilling and tapping the plug with a left hand thread, as large a diameter as possible, then inserting a bolt to remove.

Many years ago, when I was working for a Triumph dealership as a mechanic, we had a customer come in with a charging issue. My boss ask him where the Zener diode was? He said "the what?" My poss pointed to the location of the heat sync under the head light and said "the thing that goes there." "That" he said, "I fooled with it a while but I could never get it to honk so I threw it out."

O my god what a butcher i wont be taking any crank of mine to you lot, how about an impact wrench or rattle gun, or brill an hole dead center and use a large easy out tool not a dam chisel

Howd that motor run? Love the 500s I have two t100s and t100c. Fun to run.

Really good info! Any thoughts on bearings that work loose in the drive side crankcase? I heard the suggestion that too thick oil will work like a wedge, enlarging the bearing outer race, and thus the bore for the drive side bearing?

Great tutorial thank you

Just took the plug out of a '77 750. Tried impact screwdriver and didn't move. I read that the later ones have Loctite and need to be heated. It did have Loctite. I heated it then used an air impact and a drag link socket that was ground to fit the plug slot perfectly. The drag link socket is a 1/2" drive socket with a giant screwdriver blade. The end was ground curved to fit the slot. I held pressure on the impact and it still chewed up the plug. It did come out.

Good to see you continuing the Brit Bike hobby. Informative video, going neg ground for the gimcracks (60s Calif slang for bells and whistles) like LED and USB power for cam.

Very useful information ,thanks

What happened to measuring offset?

Hello; RHH; very good taste in Music. I have a question; I need to remove mine to send to chrome, but I have the dual discs kit and I do not know a good way to refit again with the right offset. I thought about putting a straight edge on the rim and somehow take measurements but is not so exactly... May be you have a better method? Thanks

Cool. I never knew. I have a few torque wrenches I never use. I never knew to store them loose all way to 0 while not in use. Great tips for tech tool tards like myself

My primary cover off my 68 BSA has scratches that steel wool won't remove. What grit is next step coarser than 0 steel wool?

Can't wait to try it on the shovel bsa &triumph

The word is Dismantle.

Thanks you guys, super important work you guys are doing to help us novices keep these machines on the road. So much of this knowledge isn’t around any more that we rely a lot on you.

Thank you both, you have no idea how helpful these videos are for beginners like me. This is going to help keep these bikes on the road where they belong.

Thanks for the video! When I install a new set of these do I need to lube them, and with what? Does it need dissembled to relube them periodically?

do you vapor blast your cases?

Friendly video. RIP Stacy... It's a pity that the two videos of dismantling and assembling the fork of a 1968 Triumph T120R are no longer available. They were very well made and I wanted to view them to help me in the restoration of my 1968 Triumph Bonneville T120R... Greetings from the south of France

Todd, how about a video showing how to install a siamese exhaust pipe for a 1964 T100SC? :)

Avoid the music in the background, its annoying!

Have you never heard of an impact driver? Your one handed 1st attempt with a screwdriver & an adjustable wrench had zero chance of ever working! I’ve done 20+ of these & every time it simply unscrews with an impact driver, you are making a mountain out of a very simple job because you haven’t used the correct (cheap) tool!

This is excellent!! I have a '67 that is not even in the zygote stage yet - but I will come back and refer to this alter... Many thanks again :-)

Where would I find a tap set for the exhaust port for a 1961 T100?

Fark ive ordered a solid state reg and a single phase stator started thinking about the rotor being alternator be a bit like my old rd 350 it has windings and all that shit! It has a bridge rectifer and a zd im gunna change it to a solid state parts are comming im in australia any help how to test the rotor? While ive got it apart

Thanks! Gonna use your tips for my Harley Davison twin 88

So helpfull to know, may thanks.

If the wrench is rated 20 - 100 ft pound, lowering it to less than 20 for example 10 for storage can affect the calibration?

Thank you for posting this. It was very helpful.

This is a great video for me. I'm getting ready to do mine soon. Would it be a good idea to keep the races in the freezer over night?

Dave...of all the bikes you've fixed up and sold over the years, is there one you really regret selling and wish you still had?

What about the old trick of welding (inside the hole) a nut on top of the plug like they do to remove broken bolts?

Will the Tympanium reg/rec work on a 6v bike? I'm asking because my 1964 TR6 appears to have an old tympanium reg/rec installed. The bike is 6v...it starts and runs great. The stock 3 wire stator was replaced at some point with a 2 wire stator.

Thanks for doing this live stream. Lots of good info. I had to skip out after the first few minutes but I came back to watch it.

What are the pros and cons of a positive ground system?

Thank you on the quide :)

I like running a bead of weld around the old race. Once it cools they usually fall right out.

Hey guys where can I get that shirt with the triumph on the pocket? Kinda wish you had examples there.
