1964 Triumph Thunderbird 650 Street Tracker project to be For Sale

ALMOST done, just need to get a bit of fuel line, dump in some gas and start kicking. New Accell plug wires installed, found a pair of Lucas 12v coils, instead of the big fat Sibas.
I must have lost 5 pounds in sweat today, it's hot in that shop, even with the big Port-A-Cool going. Searching for the main oil tank outlet fitting is several places that are NOT in the "line of fire" of the fan is the pits. New Renthal grips and concentric carbs off one of the race bikes (for now)

Sweet little bike. Why not toss a set of guides in and freshen the head along with the valves tho?
Haven't seen "shemozzles" sp? for a long time. Those concentric velocity stacks were invented by a Triumph mechanic Jack Shemans for the Beezumph (BSA/Triumph) works triple racers.
