    All good ear ta Dennis. I use Silkolene or Castrol Classic 20/50 engine oils and EP 90 gear oil, as with any air cooled Triumph motor change oil often :)

    Thx, hard to find a non-detergent oil here but did find GTX 20-50 and a 90 gear oil. One small leak at the sump cover at bottom of frame. Easy fix I hope but will have to drain tank. Should get plug wires today and then it's time...getting nervous!

    Just finished my first rebuild. Didn't own a bike before this, was just looking for a winter project. Originally purchased bike in pieces for 400.00 at a tag sale. Put another 1800.00 into it for parts. A lot of work and learning
    But made it through the process. Pretty happy on how it turned out.
