    Today i picked up a 2 owner 1959 t3a street twin

    so far only just put in into workshop so not looked at it, not attempted to start it as theres no battery, so

    here we go again, i quite like it just as it is, but im seriously tempted to dress it into its street scrambler brother.

    dont know
    any thoughts

    Yes I like it. But either would be good. Great looking machine.

    I'd leave it just as it is. A very nice example of true classic.

    Looks more like a 3TA to me.:confused:
    Good looking solid bike, i had a T90 field bike in the 70s, great fun.

    63 yrs of joy seen by 3 owners now. Polish her up, touch her up, and leave it. The stories it could tell.

    Is the front fender supposed to be flared up like that?
