Featured 1973 T100r Daytona

@graham kemp What a cracking bike. In the past i always put my Bonnies on top dead centre then marked all the points with a scribe. Then put it back the way i took it out. But there are a few very knowledgeable chaps on here if you get stuck. Myself i have help from them a couple of times at least. Good luck with the bike. I also think the covers are still available.

 

All the best for your project!
The bike looks great!

 

Lovely bike. I have a '72 but not as nice as that. I have an all black tank but your two-tone is so much classier. I also note the chromed(?) rear brake pedal and rod.
Re: timing. I have electronic ignition but I did treat myself to a TDC tool that screws into the crankcase behind the push rod tube. Makes doing tappets and timing a lot easier. Good luck and keep us posted.

 

That looks treat! All the best with it.

 

Beauty!

I had a good friend who has passed. He had a '72 or '73 Bonnie, I forget. He kept it in tip-top shape. His nickname on the old Cycle World Forum (now defunct) was Vert - for Vertical Twin, of course. I think/hope his son still has it. Anyway, although I've always liked the Triumphs, his Bonnie was what pushed me over the edge and I bought a Speedmaster.

There are a lot of very knowledgeable folks here.

 

Entertained my morning with studying your beautiful bike and discussing with my handsome hubby...always a great morning when it includes motorcycle discussions! Thanks! Best wishes getting your situation sorted.
