Tommy10bikes Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Been busy for the last 12 months sorting out a few bikes including another TT500, its taken some time and effort and apart from one or two very minor bits to do its neally ready for registering, i started of with a rolling chassis but had accumilated parts over a year or so.Home made wiring harness with full working lights and horn, home made speedo bracket and cable guides made from stainless welding wire. Oh and this is how i bought it. On another point my lad bought this a few weeks ago, put some time and effort into it as well as £400 and now its ready for mot, engine sound great which is a good thing. Other thing i did restore as it was on my wish list was this , a rare Triumph TR5T. Enjoyed it but i wouldnt want to do it again due to the parts being super rare. I also managed to get another TT500 which is great fun on the lane. Someone will ask whats next , well after 2 years waiting i have got my hands on the Paris Dakar replica tank i had made. This will be next on the list, well thats unless something else pops up Hope you enjoy the photos chaps. TTB 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

too slow Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 like the xt's myself but prefer the 250 as the 500 can be awkward at times to kick over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy10bikes Posted November 4, 2014 Author Share Posted November 4, 2014 like the xt's myself but prefer the 250 as the 500 can be awkward at times to kick over For the extra fun and bottom end grunt of the 500 i would go for a 500 any day of the week. 500 are easy to start really all you need is the knack and make sure you follow through on the kick start and make sure theres no throttle.

Moderator Airhead Posted November 4, 2014 Moderator Share Posted November 4, 2014 Vey nice job as usual, I cant tell much difference between the TT's and the XT...do they share many common parts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy10bikes Posted November 4, 2014 Author Share Posted November 4, 2014 Vey nice job as usual, I cant tell much difference between the TT's and the XT...do they share many common parts? There,s a ton of differences, main parts that are shared are motor, forks, bottom yolk, rear suspension, air box, coil,clutch and brake perch,right hand front wheel spokes, inner mudguard, front mudguard dependent on colour. Everything else differs , even the main frame if you count the mudguard lugs are in a different place and theres no steering lock. TTB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
