Triumph Motorcycle Restoration Pre Unit (PB) - Description
Among the classic English motorcycles, the Triumph twins stand at the
top. Many enthusiasts consider the Triumphs to be the fastest, the best
looking, and the most popular then and now.
Triumph Motorcycle Restoration: Pre-Unit, takes a thorough look at
what is required to restore a Triumph 650cc Twin built before 1963. The book
includes two-start to finish restorations: one done on a 1959 and the other a
1962. The book provides additional information on the restoration of a 1948
Triumph. Hands-on sequences make up the heart of this book. Abundant colour
photographs show the complete assembly of both bikes, from installation of the
swingarm and chassis parts to the attachment of the fenders and gas tank.
Author and experienced Triumph mechanic, Garry Chitwood, explains the
right and wrong way to assemble these bikes, and the little things that
separate an amateur restoration from a proper and award winning Triumph
restoration. More than just a motorcycle assembly manual, Triumph Motorcycle
Restoration: Pre-Unit, includes the overhaul and assembly of a 650cc twin
engine, and the four-speed transmission. Both operations are explained in
detail complete with photos and torque specifications. Rather than try and
explain the minute differences that separate different models and years, Triumph
Motorcycle Restoration: Pre-Unit offers a series of colour plates in the
middle of the book that provide left and right side view of most of the
significant models sold in the 1950s and early 1960s.
Triumph Motorcycle Restoration: Pre-Unit offers the Triumph motorcycle
enthusiast 144 pages and over 450 photos explaining how to buy, build and
restore a Triumph 650cc twin manufactured before 1963.
