Motor extracted
This afternoon, while giving the dog a break from his haircut, I decided the time was right to remove what is left of the engine and transmission from the ‘Tri-Beast.’ The hound, much relieved to be away from the scissors, continued to get in the way and even once knocked me over as he tried to interest me in playing ball instead of wrenching.
Here is the result:
Plonker guards his ball while wondering why I have moved his new pissing-post! I’m sure the idiot thinks I bought the bike for him.
Now the rest of the engine strip down can take place. I have a lot of cleaning and polishing ahead of me and a large number of parts to order and make. I can also dismantle the frame and suspension.I have already acquired new fork tubes to replace the rusted originals. The main frame will be cleaned and powder-coated ready for a new rear end to be designed, made and bolted on.
Does anybody have a T160 4.5 gallon gas tank going spare? If you do, please contact me.
