Featured Speed Triple 94´s Resurrection

Nice period pictures, and good advice, I agree with painting the parts you have for the time being, or when you have completed the the project and done a few shake down miles.

 

Just to mess with your mind's here is a triumph approved special from back in the day, currently available on eBay UK.

Thanks Joaquin.

I'm surprised to hear that you couldn't get the cover to fit on the Trident seat - I will check that out at some point in the future as I have a '92 Trident (which I've owned from new) and a '96 Trident and the seat bases are identical to the Speed so the cover should physically fit over the seat but, of course, can't be attached without the proper mounting points. The seat with cover won't, I think, fit on the frame without removing the pillion grab handle.

Yes, I will, at some point, get some pictures of the inside of the cover for you - I have one from Sprint that I plan to fit to a '91 Daytona 750. I know, they weren't actually made or fitted at that time but I think it should, once it's painted up and fitted, look like a 'standard' fitting. I had to swap the seat over from the the one that was on the '96 Trident - which had obviously had a replacement seat at some time in its earlier life as it had the cover fittings - but that was straightforward enough.

I don't indulge very much in modern technology any more so it may be some time before I get the pictures taken and loaded up but I will message you to let you know.

By the way, I SO wish my Spanish was as good as your "basic English"!!

 

Now THAT has got my wallet fluttering with atrial fibrillation .................

 

I'd better not say in a public forum! More than a few and from Meriden and Hinckley!

 

Not at all - a perfectly reasonable question. It would be MY indiscretion to tell!

Let's just say that I have several - we know I've got 2 Speeds; a Daytona and a Trident. That's a good enough tally for the time being!

By the way, I've just agreed a deal on those panels. The seller has some other parts (various coils, clutch bits, etc.) that will make it worthwhile me getting the lot. We just need to see if we can get the panels over to you at a reasonable cost. That won't be easy and it certainly won't be cheap. However, if you decide it's not worth the expense then I'll just keep them as spares for that (inevitable?) "Ayeee CARAMBA" moment when my age and stature take over!!

 

HEY @Speedy Pete ..... THANKS for this heads up. Got 'em sorted! If you see any more, let me know, please.

 

My pleasure, always happy to help.
If posting to Spain, I would avoid Hermes if possible, they have lost items that I sent to Spain in the past

 

In case of interest this was listed in last months TOMCC mag. I guess by now it's probably available for download somewhere.

 

Great work, Joaquin. That Trophy looks really nice and should be a great donor. It shouldn't be difficult to sell off the parts you don't require post transplant - it might even be worth trying to sell it as a 'whole machine without engine'.

The game is very definitely on.

 

If you're going down the internals route this is what you'll find! Best of luck!
