The removable front engine plate was only on the 1970 frame, Triumph finally made it easy to install the lump!.. Then changed to OIF and went back to fixed plates.
She's looking good. See you guys soon!
Is not good very slowly
Looking good, I have 1971 forks & yokes fitted to my 1969 Bonneville so have the later type gauge brackets but I much prefer the look of the earlier type you have, much neater!
Thank you for the referral. Enjoy the gauges.
Hi Jessee lm from NZ l just brought a 72 bonneville gold tank and the main fuse by the battery keeps blowing any clues please. There are some loose wires by the coils not connected.
I'm not sure how familiar your with 60's and 70's british motorcycles, but since you said you just bought it. I'm going to say something about these bikes that isn't always obvious all pre 1979 british motorcycles are Positive ground and are polarity sensitive. They have Zenor diodes if the battery ever gets hooked up backwards it blows out the Zenor diode and goes to ground causing instant fuse blow. The system can be tested the fuse wire is in the Negative lead Brown with blue stripe. The Red wire is the Positive lead it goes to the frame as ground. You first should now find the Zenor diode it gold in color and has a large blade with a brown wire plugged in its next to the battery box on the right side bolted to the inner air box. Unplug it. Then try to replace the fuse if it don't blow the fuse the Zenor needs replaced. To test it a Zenor in good condition is normally open if testing with a ohm meter red lead on the base and black on the blade needle should not move if it's good. So if testing and the needle moves showing a closed circuit it's bad and needs replaced. Those wires loose you might be talking about probably aren't and issue Lucas wiring harnesses have extra wires here and there for different accessories that didn't always get used and sometimes if points systems are replaced by electronic ignition systems then some more wires are not used. If the battery was hooked up backwards and caused this and the bike also has say a Boyer electronic ignition system in it they also are very polarity sensitive so it could be burnt out also but let's hope that didn't happen. If all is good with Zenor diode testing then there has to be a wire damaged and touching ground some where and can be anywhere from the taillight to the headlight but will need inspecting close. I hope this helps you.
Someone loved that scoot. Its got Headwinds.
I was wondering if there is a Part 15 and more I am restoring my 1967 Triumph 500 twin
There is definitely more coming I got to upload part 15 really soon, Thanks
I watched this entire video to see the cork, washer, spring and other washer and it’s not shown. Good video but I’m disappointed.
Thanks for the comment, sorry about not showing those parts, they are part of the brake backing plate and wheel and I should have shown them but I believe I show those parts later when we install the wheel and axle,
The easiest way to get a decent fork tube pulling tool, is just buy one of these fork tube pullers. The one we have is custom, There's other ones for sale, on ebay and different sellers this is just an example. www.eurojamb.com/products/fork-tube-puller-tool-triumph-norton-bsa-441-500-650-750-850
I am interested in finding a sourse for the same fork stantion puller used in Jesse's 1968 Triumph Bonneville restoration. Thanks
@@haroldhholden The easiest way, just buy one of these fork tube pullers. There's other ones for sale, on ebay and different sellers this is just an example. www.eurojamb.com/products/fork-tube-puller-tool-triumph-norton-bsa-441-500-650-750-850
Hi Guys…. I just bought 72 Bonneville and was wondering if the Nuts, Bolts and Washers are just regular Thread and size that are available at a store like Fasteners? Enjoy your Videos. Thanks.
@@nigelbeaumont1109 Thanks, 1972 the Triumphs are getting more hardware with 24tpi, But most all bolts and motor fasteners are special lengths and specific like 13/16 and 23/32 which you can’t find just anywhere and some nuts and bolts are still Whitworth in places And all screws are pozidrive but can be replaced with allen head sets if you want that look lots of people do, When you come across a bolt and nut holding something together you can change that, but if you come across a bolt or a screw screwing in to something be mindful to check those threads before screwing anything in to there,
If you're shooting for a "from the factory restoration" and it seems you are, in 1968, the jeweled warning lamps are opposite of your installation. Red goes on the left/drive side and green goes on the right/timing side. Green is to let you know your ignition switch is still on, and red is the headlight beam. In 1969 when Triumph added the oil pressure switch/warning light, they went to red for oil and green for headlight beam. Keep up the good work!
@@RobertJones-fq9dk Thanks for the comment I may have interpreted the parts book wrong it shows the green light to the left but not exactly what hole it's going in, and also may have referenced other motorcycles that were wrong as well, In an earlier video I think number 3 we talk about adding the sensor and light for oil and how the cam cover changed and what your saying makes sense s for I may have had bad references but going forward for this bike, We really want an oil pressure light instead of a constant on power indicator light. And it will keep this bike from being 100% accurate and will have the touch of 69 in the headlamp and It is a sacrifice we feel makes the bike better in our preference. Thank you again for your awesome comment,
I believe the video is fixed, I will work at getting better at proof reading, 🙂
Looking good. Nearly completed my 1969 Bonny project.
One of the segments got put in again and repeated, sorry for the confusion and inconvenience I some how I missed this while proofreading,
I’m going to try and fix it🙂
Back in 1978 I bought a 1967 Bonneville for $400. Owned it for 24 years. Still riding. Great job and good luck.
@@fearsomename4517 Awesome and thank you
Hey guys great video, I installed the same setup I installed a 7081 billet aluminum can plate, and high flow oil pump, lifters and I have an existing G37 Andrews cam , easy s$s easy pushrods,With a '95 cubic inch motor ( on a 2005 15th anniversary Fatboy) My question to you is it's loud always been loud, but from the cam area it sounds like a 350 Chevy it's constant doesn't blow smoke runs like an animal, it just drains oil to the crankcase in two nights? My indie rip the bike apart twice to check for the o-ring on the oil pump and it was there. Just wondering what the loud 350 Chevy sound is lol, thank you in advance sorry for the length
@@-MrRichBiker1967 Well you have a softail "B" motor which is a balance motor our video is for a "A" motor that isn't a softail balance motor so there is a threaded plug we installed that you must leave open but also needs an oring placed there to seal properly. Also it sounds as though you're running a gear drive so your set up requires feuling #8016 block off plates to be installed because your not needing the hydraulic chain tensioners there's a block off plate required on both sides of the cam plate. And feuling requires pinion shaft run out to be 2.5 thousands or less and the gear drive has a specific amount of run out also.
Very few people watching but man this is super helpful, keep posting ❤
@@faizansaeed987 Thanks, for the great comment
She really looks great I always liked the stainless steel fenders.
I'm restoring a '75 Mk3 with a COMPLETE teardown & rebuild.... and I just now stumbled upon your videos. EXCELLENT WORK!!! Between the silly manuals and "rebuild books," it's nice to see someone actually DO the steps who speaks good 'ol American English! Cheers to you guys!
Jessie… My name is Mike. I am restoring a 48 UL that I’ve had since 1989. Your videos are great. Where did you get the wiring harness? Thanks for all the videos. I’m 76 and have owned and built many bikes since 1965. I don’t ride anymore but love to work on them. Thanks
@@grumpy48 Hello Mike thanks for the great comment, I got the wiring harness from deluxehdrestorations.com another place that has wonderful parts including the correct spot lamp wiring harness is www.cimarroncycleworks.com thanks again, sorry had to edit this a couple times to get the links to work
Really glad I found your channel in diagnosing my 73 tiger
Thanks! These bikes are great but they can be challenging, Glad you are getting it back together!
Good job, bike is looking awesome. Quick question as I am wondering if I should powder coat or paint my frame. It looks like the stand will rub the paint off, will this be an issue for rust since it exposes the raw metal?
@@cdpd3 We have powder coated frames and other parts in the past. It's important to know locations where ever the motor and transmission bolt up tight to the frame can't have powder coat on or those locations won't retain torque on the bolts as the powder coating is so thick it wears from vibration. The other thing about powder coating is it dissolves with brake clean. So setup for powder coating is very time consuming and after powder coating the bare metal areas will need touched up with enamel by a brush. We have very good luck with Epoxy or Enamel another good option is POR-15 as long as the person applying that knows what there doing with the hardener otherwise it be to soft forever,just be sure to use Top coat as it has UV protection as their chassis and engine paint doesn't.
Perfect year for a restoration. I like the way you guys do business. She looks really good.
@@fearsomename4517 Ya it's a great year, and thanks for the great comment,
Did your S&S lifters have any numbers on them I ordered some from J&P cycles and they have 22 MA 24 CI on each lifter
Where can I get one of the felt. Washers?
I bought some of those from a Norton parts supplier from England a few years ago. They might be available from other sources but I'm not sure. The place is RGM Norton Here is a link to them. rgmnorton.co.uk
I’ve really enjoyed your series of videos on the Commando restoration, great detail and thorough explanation of the whole process, it’s improved my knowledge of this wonderful machine enormously. Thanks guys.
I just got done restoring my '68 Bonnie. They're such a neat old bike.
@@highpower3006 Great job, yes I feel the same way about 1968 one of the best years for Triumph and a lot of other vehicle manufacturers just something about 1967 to 1970 for everyone
Great work guys........... Honest and original, we like that 👍
Set up properly that is such a great brake. Thanks for the video
Excellent thorough explanation thank you. Really helpful thank you. I did notice that you didn't use the spacers listed in the parts manual (E12598) shown as going above the centre head bolts between the top ov the bolt and the inside of the rocker box. My friend Mark, who has rebuilt many T120s and T140s has never seen one used. Any information about these spacers welcome. Thank you again for brilliant, informative videos. Richard
@@richardeblack we didn’t use those spacer’s because they were not needed when we converted the bolts over to the 1972 style, We switched to the mid 1972 and later style because of the better larger Allen wrench and special tool so it can be torqued better, it’s just a better setup, and that could be what your friend did, thanks for the great comment,
Thank you very much for that reply.
Isnt there a paper washer that goes on top of the bushing before the seal? Just curious if you missed that for a reason? Its part 31 on andovers diagram. Great idea with prefilling the oil before the tube.
Well that was a good question and we should've explained that in detail. The paper gasket is used with original seals, but we didn't use the original seals so the paper gasket wasn't needed.
Nice job!
Thanks for the tip, my '79 Bonnie has about 9000 miles and I never thought to grease the speed drive. Will be doing that for sure.
Good content, thanks for sharing your project. Chrome has gone bad on all the casings on my 99 FXDL and still running spring tensioners that have no real signs of wear on the shoes at 25k miles,nothing looks like they have been changed.
Head gaskets going to leak now you loosened it, do it properly man,
Most of the reproduction parts seem to need a little fettling.
You are correct, though there are still some good reproductions that work, but you never know until you start working on them and when you come across something that is not right from a reputable source it is trying to figure out how to get it to be right if it’s even possible that is frustrating,
I like the way you guys do business!
At 1:04:43 I can see a dot and "TOP" on the ring just right of the 6-o'clock position. You flipped it back and forth, but it ended up the right way up. Really should use a ring file machine or make a jig to get the cuts perfectly square, otherwise you cause problems. Doesn't matter how you clock the rings because they'll rotate the way they "want" to anyway once it's running and breaks in. Good video though.
Very good video. Thank you
Combat engines were made to produce more power by increasing compresion and revolutions. However, if you revved them hard, the valves hit the pistons and the engine went Bang. For a 1949 500cc engine designed by the great Bert Hopwood, they survived being stretched to 600cc, 650cc, 750cc and 829cc. The Combat motor suffered from porosity, gasblows and a tendency to blow up. They can be set up properly, but the owner needs to be a wealthy enthusiast.
Thanks for the excellent tour!
paint works well
Great video watched from the beginning part one all the way to part four, glad you got a touring bike for the road for several years to come.
That red white 2 tone 56 nice
My friend Ed hunter had a 61 pan very similar to the 61 pan toward beginning of the video ❤
Looking for someone to work on my 1942 flathead
What kind of work are we talking about? If you want to go in to detail email us here at jessesvintagegarage@yahoo.com
Your wrong im sorry but you are it was the BSA m20 that was the real liberator of Europe it was lighter faster more nimble and they built over 126,000 for England /Canada/Russia and served in almost Every theater of war from the 1938. it was the largest produced bike of WW2 Harley only produced 70,000 Norton built over 100.000. But the best bike of all was the German BMW R75.during WW2 more reliable built stronger and started up a lot easier. Americans say the Harley was the liberator of Europe because of pride but the numbers say otherwise. because they was so rare. It was also a common site to see the odd american riding a bsa m20. bloody facts hey there annoying arnt they lol. i hate bmws. Sorry my american freinds
