Description
Restoring a Triumph 650cc Twin built before 1963 requires attention to detail and a thorough understanding of the process. This comprehensive guide covers two complete restorations, one of a 1959 and the other of a 1962 model, as well as a restoration of a 1948 Triumph. The book features hands-on sequences and over 450 photographs that illustrate the assembly of both bikes, from installation of swingarm and chassis parts to attachment of fenders and gas tank. Author Garry Chitwood, an experienced Triumph mechanic, shares his expertise on how to assemble these bikes correctly, highlighting the differences between amateur and professional restorations. The book also includes detailed instructions for overhauling and assembling a 650cc twin engine and four-speed transmission. To help with identification, color plates provide left and right side views of significant models sold in the 1950s and early 1960s. With its clear explanations, photographs, and practical guidance, this book is an essential resource for Triumph enthusiasts looking to restore their classic motorcycle.
