1960 and 1963 Triumph T20 Tiger Cubs

These 2 bikes were delivered by a customer to receive complete restorations. These bikes are very uncommon here in the States. In the UK there are still some around. As is obvious, these will require a fair amount of work. But when completed, will be once again gorgeous pieces of early British motorcycle history. I will add photos as work progresses, so stay tuned.

Owner decided to start with the T20S. The frame and engine lower end is completed. Many NOS parts have been purchased, to continue with rebuild.

I am approximately 3/4 through the build on the T20S. The top left photo is the latest. Still some challenges await, but it will be well worth the effort when completed.

Had to make a new pipe out of the old pipe, and another new one which was as close as I could find. It is at the chrome shop now.

Done!!!

1973 Yamaha DT-3 250 Enduro

Here is a bike that is getting harder to find. This is a show and go bike. Original parts were rechromed, and replated. Bike has original wheels, spokes and nipples, handlebars, fenders, tank, mirror, shocks, exhaust, and most all else. Original engine was totally rebuilt with new rod kit, piston, bearings, seals, and gaskets. Fuel and oil tank were stripped, and repainted correct Competition Green. All new OEM cables. Correct original Mikuni carb, rebuilt. These Enduros are continuing to go up in value. If you want a bike you can ride, and take to the shows, this would be a good one for that.
