Just love this build. You and John should do your own TV show. Its just like hanging out with a couple of mates. Keep up the good work. P.s. love Wendy getting in the way!
This is so nice to watch in these day’s. Two friends having a great time together building up an historical motorbike. How beautiful life can be??.. Regards from The Netherlands.
That tank really is the cherry on the cake! For tyre fitting, try warming the tyre beforehand for example, with a hot air gun. It makes the carcass more flexible and the bead pops over the rim more easily.
After 30 years of my dad's passing, I miss being in the shop with him. You and John fill this void for me. You both are enjoying yourselves which fill this old woman's heart. God bless you both and Windy too.
Comedic gold @9:25,..............If everyone had a friend like John and a dog like Wendy, the rest of us would change our name to Dom, and the world would be a better place.
😂😂😂 reach thé target !!!!🤭😂 She stands up!! Very good, without fails and sense of humour I wouldn't even seen your trully nice adventures!!! Let's see next episode! Thank you to both
Good to see you having fun with the restoration and it makes me feel better about the struggles I seem to have when doing jobs on my cars and bikes........
Dom stand back and look at the design of how the pivot of the swinging arm is attached to the frame. That single vertical tube of the frame will be like a torsion bar and tend to twist and allow the swinging arm to flex side to side under cornering loads as there is no bracing to support at the ends of the pivot. Probably not an issue at low speeds on a 350cc Triumph but on higher performance 650cc it was a serious handling issue hence why Triumph engines were put into Norton frames in the 1960s to create Tritons. Enjoying viewing the work done done so far.
Looks like you'll be needing a set of desert sled pipes? 😉👍 also with the comments about the brace.. I know alot of the trials lads, put an oil tank inside the brace. Using a piece of 2inch tube, with tabs welded to each end, to fit to the back of the head stock, and to the top of the rear bend on the frame. May be worth looking into. 😊👍 Ben at Raysons Exhausts
Those were the days! Fabulous nostalgia project. Passed my test in '63 on a '54 Beeza C11G and then graduated to the big brother of your T90, a T100SS. I always wanted a Bonnie or a Rocket Goldie but couldn't raise enough dosh! PS Might be a good idea to invest in a cheap gimbal/stabiliser for the handheld shots...I'm getting seasick.
I don't know if you have ridden 'off road' before, so ignore this if you know to do it already. That mid-stiffener bar on the handle bars needs a piece of 'pool noodle' zip tied to it, just to save your teeth from a mis-timed jump over a log or gully... Saved my face several times when ripping through the woodland fire trails on my DT 400. Hope you guys have some open countryside you can ride in...
That old bike is looking very handsome, even without the bits and an engine. I spent my youth around bikes like this before the Japanese brands became super popular.
One tip I found over the years fitting bike tyres, three blocks of wood on the floor, place the wheel on the blocks, then lots of soap on the tyre then tread the tyre onto the rim. Much easier.
Had a worn '68 Ducati...new rear wheel bearing dropped in without press like yours did in video snippet...lasted one trip around the block and knackered just like the one I had taken out. Maybe not a problem in your case but you might want to keep an eye on it when you start riding the thing.
Love your enthusiasm, you will probably need to remove the rear wheel to fit the mudguard, front too. The footrests and brake pedal may also need to be removed to get the engine in. It’s always an achievement to get a bike back on its wheels though. Well done
And God said unto man "thou must ride a harley !!!" and Jesus said "bugger off you old git I'm riding a triumph !!" 😂 See you both next week . Peace out ✌️
ALWAYS rubber mount the the Ally tank. If you do not, It WILL split. Also it might have been easier putting the frame OVER the engine, rather than putting the engine in the frame.
Just love this build. You and John should do your own TV show. Its just like hanging out with a couple of mates. Keep up the good work. P.s. love Wendy getting in the way!
Wendy loves watching what your doing ☺️
Cracking job lads. I don't ride bikes anymore, and I have no intention of resorting one, but watching you two is one of my little pleasures in life!
I would never seek out motorbike or Porsche renovation videos - i just watch it because it's on your channel. And i love it! 😊
I really appreciate you watching!
A very attractive bike chaps; looking forward to more videos. Well done. 🤘🤘🤘
This is so nice to watch in these day’s. Two friends having a great time together building up an historical motorbike. How beautiful life can be??..
Regards from The Netherlands.
Putting the tank on your tiger is a nice variation of putting a tiger in your tank! 😉 Congrats! 😊
Love the background music 🎶🎵❤
Does Wendy obsess over everything that could be potentially thrown and retrieved? Love her.
Well done with the Tiger progress 👏👏
Great job guys, I am really glad you are doing an almost full restoration on this old beauty! Keep up the excellent vids.
I'm so impressed with the tank every time I see it! 👍
Love the proportions of the bike, Dom n John. The tyre size ratio is spot on. All the best, Mart from Mart's Garage.
Thank you!
Love how Wendy thought that John was going to chuck the rear ...no fetch for Wendy 😂
lol you have the best help and sidekicks I laughed when Wendy put in her 2 cents!!
Wow! This bike looks already amazing ! And love your team and Wendy is watching 👍cheers from Canada
Dom and Jon you are amazing and oh so natural……Perfect watching

Thank you to both
Makes me wonder why I spent so much of my life restoring classic cars when motor cycles look to be so much easier and so much fun!
That's what weekends and spare time are made for great work so far guys
You’re doing great, always fun learning on the way
Hi Dom & Jon. Well good to see super wheels standing on its own.
Roll on next week for more bits added. Have a great week at work.
Good to see you having fun with the restoration and it makes me feel better about the struggles I seem to have when doing jobs on my cars and bikes........
It’s always a struggle!
Excellent vid as always Dom, look forward to these on a Sunday evening, I’m not a bike man at all, but finding this interesting to watch.
I appreciate you watching, thank you
That dog is a real piece of work...
Hi Dom and John and Wendy, just mind blowing , coming along fine, keep reading the manual, next installment please 😅, All the best Brian 😃

Love it Ben thank you for the advice! I am looking forward to being at the point of needing an exhaust! Thank you
Really good job. Nice to see the use of a number of original parts and new parts. Looking forward to seeing the finished bike
Looking good!
I hope John gets a really good Christmas gift from you for helping with this!
Very smart Dom, thanks again for posting. I guess every week is a little triumph now!
This is why God invented Sundays 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Spoilt by Sunday trading.
Sundays wernt invented, they evolved, check the fossil record...
Grea progress! Looking awesome.
Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
I only watch for wendy! Joking what a marvellous accomplishment this week well done boys.
Great work and entertaining video dom looking forward to seeing it done.😊
Great video again guys. You work well together, love the interplay. Anyway It inspires me to get onto another project of my own.
Those were the days! Fabulous nostalgia project. Passed my test in '63 on a '54 Beeza C11G and then graduated to the big brother of your T90, a T100SS. I always wanted a Bonnie or a Rocket Goldie but couldn't raise enough dosh!

Wendy wasn't learning, she was thinking John's making a right dogs dinner trying to put the rear back together. 😂🤣
Ace Classics are amazing. Been there for a while and have some lovely stuff!
A wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon ! Thank you guys for making this happen
Cheers From California 😊
Always very entertaining you three! Thanks
This whole project will be a triumph.
Its that time of the week again!
A Triumphant day in more ways than one. Sorry just had to say it.
It is beautiful already!
Love the little bike and that gas tank is awsome. Love your UA-cam, thank you for sharing

House hold soap will rust the rims.
Use the correct stuff, it's very cheap.
Sorry I need to say LOW PRICED.
@@who-gives-a-toss_Bear Thanks, a good point.

That's gonna be a nice little bike. My first one was a 650 Trophy [ex NZ Police bike] so this takes me right back.
Another great video and impressive progress.. loving it!
Flintstones bike now, great one Dom
Great job, nice to see Wendy is doing her job ad supervisor 😂😂😂
gonna look great! well done chaps!
brilliant chaps
Wendy helping was good to see. A paddock stand maybe a good idea.
Once again, Wendy steals the show. 😊
Always!
Well done! A very pleasant visit.
The editing on this channel is just superb.
Thanks for the video Dom,nice to see you and John hard at it.👍👍
Totally awesome Dom & John thank you
Your so welcome, thanks!
Another great episode Dom. Lovely bike.
Thanks so much
Essential viewing as always.. Great video boys.👍👍
I do love these videos on the Triumph Cub. So envious thanks for the video
I got Ace Classics to help with the top end on my 1972 T120R. The bike runs like a dream now....
The swinging arm pin should be push through by hand it just needed the frame reaming that will be fun to get out.
I hope they checked side to side play first. Thats going to be a pain to drift out to shim it. 😂
@@suzukisav😂
Brum brum! Not a project, definitely not a project!
Nice to see Wendy getting in the way!

Hi Dom, don’t forget Rockerbox in Wrecclesham for parts. It’s a real time warp place full of nostalgia! Loving the progress updates too! 😁
Wendy the supervisor is great!
Ah brilliant ! It’s what Sunday nights were made for 🙌🏻
Good job. That tank is wonderful. You will likely have to take foot pegs off again but that’s easy.
Yeah I agree, but I couldn’t help it!
She’s going to be a beauty
Lovely to see.
That fuel tank is beautiful!
Looking great!
Ooo, intriguing.
Looking good already. Could be a rebuild, refurb and remanufacture. Definitely not a bodge! 😊
You have to grab maybe an old BSA for John and restore it for some cool rides together!
He has an awesome Bmw he found in a bush! I recon that’s up next
And a sidecar for Wendy
Going great, guys..,👍😊
Gotta say, that looks uber old skool kool
Getting there now great stuff boys...
Thanks so much!
And God said unto man "thou must ride a harley !!!" and Jesus said "bugger off you old git I'm riding a triumph !!" 😂
See you both next week .
Peace out ✌️
My dog does all the recycling \cardboard shredding in my workshop
Nice to see that my reaction and warning is removed 👍
A great series more please guys 👍🤘🏻
There should be a shim between swinging arm and bike pivot, if there’s some play it will flop from side to side.
Thank you, we did shim it
@@DominicChineashope you scraped the paint or power coat off first before checking the gap?
The ‘A Team’ is on the job … I have every confidence. 😅
Great job looks fantastic
Looks cool
Impressive,gonna be a nice looking bike when your done👍👍👍😎😎😎
In a word Dom, brilliant! This little beauty will provide bags of joy for you. Thank you, cheers mate.
She's looking good, another fun packed episode👍👍👍👍 What I want know is - what the heck is Wendy staring at?????😂😂😂😂😂😂
The tiniest fragment of a stick! Haha
@@DominicChineas Thought you'd hypnotised her to stop her barking🤣🤣🤣🤣
Another great video! Thank you 😊
Good work guys
Wow! That looks the part.
It already has the look
ALWAYS rubber mount the the Ally tank. If you do not, It WILL split. Also it might have been easier putting the frame OVER the engine, rather than putting the engine in the frame.
Wendy is very attentive, when is she due to finish her apprenticeship?
