The Triumph Speed Four wasn’t the moste beautiful bike, so I decided to give this 500€ bike a new chance!
Looks real nice! You do all the paint and stuff yourself? So what sort of Euro did you send on the build...
I everything at home except the upholstery of the saddle. On this one I’m under 1500€ and that includes, new chain, fork seals, front lamp, engine service, paint etc The exhaust is a used Z1000 unit =80€ I’m in a group of builders where the King is who spend less making a great bike! With a lot of money spending it’s to easy and less fun, the other way it’s a trill
Muchas gracias This bike was finished a month ago and sold, but as the new owner not a to good pilot he felt with it twice already, I had it back today to respray the tank and rear panel...... I told him to search for a paint shop in the future, I’m not!
Nice job. I've done work on two of them. Both had badly corroded wheels, so bad they leaked air at the spoke. And both had generator set failures caused by corrosion at the first connector after the stator.
My first time on a Triumph and to be honest the wheels was a nightmare! The front one was bent so I have to make it strength and weld a crack (just normal). But the I begun to discover that damn oxide! Holy shit! Next time if I come up with something like that I just search for a couple of used cheap Japo wheels!
