Irish SR build

Got fed up looking at this thing so I got it running yesterday. Still can't kickstart it with my dodgy knee so I have to bump start it.
Before:

After:

Sounds like a real old Brit single and loads of fun to ride but I think I'll try and move it along and get another Triumph. Maybe a real Bonnie.

Mate that turned out awesome, Nice job Irish.

I sort of half finished it. I'd have liked to have spent more time but it's got a current rego and wof so it might as well be out on the road. Now I have to get the Panhead out so that's today's plan.

sh#t yeah looks like a different bike those clipons give it such a different look

great looker...... if your lookin at flickin what sorta $$ ya lookin at???

It owes me 10 which I think is too much but I can't aford to lose money just now. I'd swap it for a good Bonnie. Or else I'll keep on working on it to make it fast. You can do a lot with these little singles. Its still got all the emissions crap on it. That would be next to go.

That's cool. Wish I could work that fast! Is that a Nitro Head seat?

thats cool irish .ya need to piss off that huge headlight though.

Yeah its a Nitro Head seat. Very hard but a great shape.
I kind of like the big light as it looks like an old Brit. It was an accident though as I had to use the original Yam light on the W650 to fit the headlight brackets that went with the clipons I had for it. The Kawa light was the only one I had spare.

well done, its got a real good look, those bars look good'n low

cant wait to see it for real sometime on the road.

yes Irish that headlight does look old Brit, as it was patterned off the foglight they used on the Queen Elizabeth II Ocean Liner

I have been looking at YouTube videos of little Thai kids kicking SRs with Jandals on but I still have to bump this thing

Sorted. I found an Australian forum that said start it without the choke (different from what the factory says). Starts second kick now.

woohoo !!!!!!!
hey just remember to park near a downhill area & you'll be right, or find the nearest jandal wearing Asian kid to kick it over for you

Mate... that looks great on the road, real cool, a nice stance..

makes you look good.. haha

I was going to bring it into work this morning but I thought I'd look like a dick in office worker clothes so I came in on the Thruxton instead (its stock so I would have looked like a dick anyway!!!!).
I'll ride the Yam in on Friday when I can wear jeans and jandals

Excellent, Now you don't have to adopt that Thai kid.
