Hi Dom thoroughly enjoy your videos. In 1964 I was 17 and bought a brand new 1963 tiger 90 reg 153 NF from Hunts motorcycles on Kingsway Manchester. It was painted in Triumphs Alaskan White and cost £280, an expensive bike then, but a real looker. After about 4 months the petrol tank started leaking from underneath onto one of the coils. Triumph replaced it with a 1964 tank which had a brace between the mounting lugs, and the tank sat onto 4 mounts off it. I used to rev the goolies off it as did the rest of the rockers in our gang. This caused one of the bolts to come loose holding the alternater to the crankshaft. It fell onto the primary chain, and as it went round the sprocket, tightend the chain and smashed the primary imput shaft. Triumph took the engine back to Meriden repaired it, and replaced other parts free of charge. The good old days! I am 77 now and still love bikes, it's something in the blood. Spud.
A couple of things when you fit a nipple on a cable the most important thing is to flare the inner cable out to fill the countersink in the nipple this provides a mechanical fix when he solder goes round the cable . The second thing is to make yourself a solder pot , a bit of 1 inch brass drilled out to 3/4 filled with solder then just heat it up and dip the end of the cable with the nipple on into the pot (dipping in bakers fluid first ) and you will get a factory like joint .
Dom I agree with Mervin about the nipple soldering the cable will just pull through if not flaired out. And why aren't you fitting a twin filament headlight or have I missed the intended use of the bike.
@@raysilver2445I also wanted to say the bit about flaring the cable. If it’s not done right It’ll pull out just when you’re hauling on the lever for a bit of serious stopping. Not good! I also think a front light has to be ‘dip-able’ (high beam / low beam) to be legal. I guess this machine is exempt MoT, but, keep it right! Exciting project though. Les
Yep a little padding in seat an a grease nipple on rear brake peddle , I can't wait to see it finished . Cheers mate from Rick in Sydney Australia 🇦🇺 👍 😂
Have you heard of RRC Restoration? How this man can take a bike, car, what have you, apart down to the last bolt, work on the parts then put it all back together, is beyond me. Well worth a look. I would love to see a collaboration with the two(three with John) of you.
Thanks for linking the music at the end dude - it’s ace defo be giving it a listen! Great work on the bike, loving seeing it take shape, I want one! 🤘🤘
If you can find it - “Mouse Milk” penetrating oil makes a world of difference. We use it in the Army Aircraft hanger to loosen impossible stuff. I maintain the flight sims for the RC12 and MC12 aircraft and it’s saved my butt.
Hi Dom, This is not meant as a critisisme. During the 70's/80's I competed in moto-x (scrambling) we where always making & repairing our cables. I was taught to flare the cable into the countersink in the nipple before soldering. This helps prevent the cable pulling out. Keep up the great work. All the best Paul Wood.
What a nice episode!! Breaks are cool, the front light, unique!! Seat??!! No need to shape it, already used😅 The bike! A Unicorn!!! Wendy!? Good company. Thanks Dominic for keep it going with a genuine way.🎉
Re Seat: years of experience here ... my best "results" for older leather ... gloves, jackets and seats especially ... Saddle Soap/Saddle Wax ... not sure what they would call it over there, but talk to some local horse people for their recommended brand for saddle treatment. I find it best for leather care, weather protection and NOT making the leather slippery or greasy. Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
14:45 Moisturiser. That reminds me of a summer job when I was a student. I got a few weeks as a general dogsbody at a general engineering works in St Ives, Cambs. The first couple of weeks were at the Chivers factory in Histon, then back to the works in St Ives learning how to use extreme heat and mindless violence to release stuck bolts. This resulted in filthy hands, and when I went to the loo I was surprised to find the soap dispenser outside the main lavatorial area. I applied it and rubbed the gloopy substance into may hands and used lots of water, but just could not get any suds. Then an old hand pointed out that it was moisturiser, and the soap was by the basins where you would expect it The final few weeks of the job were spent prepping a couple of the old traction engines from the company's past for display at the Peterborough steam rally. What a wonderful summer I had.
Hi Dom, I don't think your front brake cable is safe because I didn't see you flair the end of the cable to stop the nipple pulling through. This is a must when making or altering your own cables. Look up birds nesting tools for cables, you will be able to make your own. Love these unit Triumph bikes, keep up the good work.
Hey Dom please be aware that the bracket with the light on it will wobble about as you ride. I speak from experience! Mine wobbled about so much it eventually weakened and snapped off. Twice!!! Bung a little triangulation piece under the angle to stop it wobbling, and you'll be all good mate.
Really nice job on a nice project :) One though I'd like to share: be careful not to put galvanized (zinc based) metal in contact with aluminum; it would result in accelrated corrosion of both (oxydo-reduction couple)... ;)
You will find that the vibration of the ' Trumph ' lump will shake a one point fixing on the headlight rather a lot , also putting stress on the chrome casing
Thanks for another brilliant video..nice to see I’m not the only one that buys something that requires a modicum of ‘fettling’ once I get my hands on it 😊
To all the doubters, Dom did say he was going to treat the seat and he’s a man of impeccable taste. I trust Dom and Honest Jon to make an excellent job of the bike and we’ll all be drooling!
It not the leather, it's the padding that needs upgrading. You could see it was beyond saving when he took the leather off. It will look great with new foam padding giving it the correct shape.
Hi Dom, Put that rusty headlamp into the electrolisis bath to remove the rust, then put it into a bath of diesel to soak for a week beforwe you even attempt to undo the nut on the bottom, I assume you are keeping the original worn chrome look if so be careful on the electrolisis so you dont strip that off, if you are going to re-chrome then it doesn't matter. cheers, Denis Harvey
I don't like the light. Previous comment is spot on about spreading the cable end in the nipple before soldering. Totally unnecessary to solder the bush into the rear brake pedal: I would have drilled and tapped the boss of the pedal to take a grease nipple and drilled the bush to suit so that the pedal would be lubricated. The saddle will be good with a little attention. Hope that the engine turns out to be good. Best wishes.
@@DominicChineas Sorry that it came across as negative. Not too late to incorporate a grease nipple in the brake pedal. Can't apologise about the light though: it just looks wrong to me. Again, best wishes.
Dom,great video as always,on your rear brake pedal I would have used brass bushing,but that’s me .bike is coming right along,looking good.just keep doing what your doing.👍👍👍😎😎😎
Personal thoughts, the mudguard looks well out of whack, it should follow the line of the tyre, it doesn't by a long way. Secondly, that's going to be the most shaky front light I think I've seen on a bike. Apart from these two small things, really good work! :o)
Hi Dom, it’s really coming together nicely. It’s the fiddly jobs that take the time and are no less important to the operation and look. Thank you for the video and thank you to the comment providers for the useful advice. Cannot wait to see the engine episode 😊
It amazes we how, even when I do stuff how long even the smallest job takes, really like the look of that seat if you apply that moisturizer it will look a 1000 times better. Have you thought of asking the leather wizard Suzie, to see if she can make you a spare cover? The bike looks really good, yeah ridding it outside and making motor bike noises would have been fun, even better if it was taped noises. 👍
I use "cardboard" but IF its critical I have a cheap 3d printer BEST investment I have made !! Have a Enfield rocker block in front of me the "holes need to be exact and the idea I have , there may not be enough clearance. Took a photo of part, drew part, printed all the parts, test fit IT WORKS ... ( calculate stresses to check all good ...) Made the thing ( normally I would screw up the holes or fit some where ,,and money would have been wasted !
I'm playing catchup here, but a thought I've had is that a spot light is not a headlight, the glass is different and the beam pattern will be incorrect. Only becomes a problem if you plan to get an MOT, but maybe you already have.
Every time I look at our project and say this now is time to start, then I sit nd watch you a bit longer. 😂 my Honda 750 W reg classic will be back to former glory promise xx
Hi Dom , loving the bike. One thing i have noticed check that the fork stantions are not hitting the tank , it looks like they are on the video. If they are you may need to check if yhe lock stops are worn , if so you may need to add some weld or your lovely tank is going to get two big dents in it. That would be a shame . 👍👍
Get yourself a 2800rpm motor for polishing & wire brushing. 1400rpm isn't quick enough and ends up giving you a less than factory finish. Always enjoy your vids. Take care.
Really enjoying this series Dom. I'm just rebuilding the engine on my Tiger 90. So I guess the race is on to see who's runs first! 😂 I'm on Episode 4! Feel free to check it out. 😉
Cracking videos Dom, nice to see it coming together so well. Takes me back to my early biking days in the seventies when I had 3 Tiger 90s! One after the other though, not all at the same time. If you’re concerned about the headlight mounting stem fouling the headstock, perhaps you could put washers/spacers on the mounting bracket bolts, between the bracket and the lower yolk clamps? That should move the bracket and headlamp forward to give a bit more space. Cheers 👍🏻
Looking at the condition of the old rear brake lever pin it is obvious that it never got any form of lubrication - EVER... May I suggest drilling and tapping the brake lever for a grease nipple? Also, great work on the headlight bracket but please don't cut the mount down... Rather put the spacer on the bottom. And that seat... that is special...
I did exactly the same thing as you while building my trike, i didn't have a front light so bagged an old 4 inch one off ebay and converted it to 12v halogen and it works great. That old bates seat is beautiful, perfect patina and everything. Oh, i know its a bit late now but maybe a bronze oilite sleve made to interference fit would be more suitable for the brake pedal.
Great video Dom surely you'll tidy up the bottom of thr seat and paint up nicely . New foam for seat ? Can't wait to see it finished. Gonna look amazing
So enjoying watching this come together.. really great video thanks Don.. my vote would be to lose the spacer under the headlight and drop it down a fraction.. 👍🏻
Dom, if that nipple soldered to the cable is for the front brake please throw it in the bin and buy a brake cable that fits. The cable centre should be balled out in a counter bore on the nipple before you solder it. I pulled the nipple off a cable on a t100 when I tried to grab a handful of front brake, not something I would wish on anyone. Shouldn’t the headlight have a twin filament bulb, main and dip beam?
To make rigid templates go to a printers and ask them for an old printing plate. There’s a lot of uses for them in the workshop. Enjoy all your videos; whatever it is you’re up to.

No it won’t work with stainless cables, you need a different flux it’s a lot more difficult!

No problem 👍
I think that seat would look better with some extra padding ! 😊
Same!! Please, new foam Dom!!
Exactly. It looks very withered and.deflated.
I will unsubscribe from your Channel if you don't replace the foam on the seat. It doesn't look vintage. It looks cringeworthy 😂

Loving the music you've been adding to the videos lately Dom. Really adds to the quality of the videos.
Good progress. I'm sure Suzie would do a great job on that seat without making it look too new.

I made a similar bracket for the bates headlight on my BSA A50 Wasp project, except I kept mine flat.
Nice fix for the brake lever pivot.
Well done, Dom. Looks great. Wendy looks so different with her haircut, but she's still a scene stealer. Take care and have a great week. 😊😊
Hello Dom,not read the all comments, but maybe you will need a stop,to protect the tank from stanchions . Keep up the good work. regards Alex

I am sure that front brake lever is bent where the bike has been on its side at one time - or probably more than once

You can't use that spotlight as a headlight unless you change the reflector and fit a dual filament bulb.

May I suggest drilling and tapping the brake lever for a grease nipple?
Also, great work on the headlight bracket but please don't cut the mount down...
Rather put the spacer on the bottom.
And that seat... that is special...
Probably need beefing up a bit, those old Triumph vibrations will soon fracture that alloy plate or maybe some rubber isolation bushes.
I did exactly the same thing as you while building my trike, i didn't have a front light so bagged an old 4 inch one off ebay and converted it to 12v halogen and it works great.

I had a couple of lights like that(one fog, one spot) in the early 70s on my mini. The one you fitted is the fog light.
Looking good!😊
The seat needs new foam padding. But its coming together great.
Great work Dom👊
Dom, the forks looked to be touching the tank on full right lock. There are stops that need to be adjusted to stop 🤣this.
Brilliant stuff Dom. Well done mate! Keep up the good work 👍
Enjoying this one Dom I much prefer a non Concourse do up, if its not for everyday use then you can tunker forever :)
cant get enough of this type of thing dom...thankyou
Coming along great dom,👍🏻👍🏻👏🤠🇬🇧
Rather than diassembling the seat,use ' elevator bolts'. They have a thin disc insteead of a hex head,and weld on to the bottom of the sest base.
Dom, if that nipple soldered to the cable is for the front brake please throw it in the bin and buy a brake cable that fits. The cable centre should be balled out in a counter bore on the nipple before you solder it. I pulled the nipple off a cable on a t100 when I tried to grab a handful of front brake, not something I would wish on anyone.
Shouldn’t the headlight have a twin filament bulb, main and dip beam?

You can wonderfully improve the chrome of the reflector to former glory with chrom spray. Does not last forever, but for quiet some time. Good luck!
