    s-l160110.jpg Hi I have just bought myself a Hybrid of a 900 / Sprint / Daytona/ Street.

    I am waiting for it to be delivered, it was built as a Bobber, but I am going to Cafe Racer it.

    Any help much appreciated, I will start a thread as soon as I can in the build section
    Anything to look out for. I have no history only the Reg and will need a bucket load of parts

    For_GDW69.
    Welcome to the Family. Great project. But sorry they all look the same in that state. So I don't think anyone will remember it. As for model it looks like the early Daytona or the speed triple. Need to know more to narrow it down. Some of the peeps here are good with the frame numbers. or any more body work might help. Do keep us all in the picture as to you rebuild.
    Regards
    Joe.

    Welcome. Interesting piece of equipment you have there. Looks like.A "grey motor" out of a Sprint or a Daytona and I'm guessing 6 speed. Can you send us a photo of that front brake setup ? I don't recognise that piece. I have been playing with Hinckley Triumphs for about 17 years. I currently have 2 T-3s in my fleet. ...J.D.
