T100R Number 2

Well I have now bought a second one. The condition mechanically is good, whereas cosmetically it is a bit rough. However, apart from the shockingly poor carb balancing and the whole thing running a bit rich, it is going very well.


Update 24th May.
Yesterday had a glorious day taking apart the front headlight and all the mountings in order to give everything a good polish. The frame is slightly rough and I need to make a decision about the quality of restoration I want to do on this one.

The Bits I need for my T100R

I have bought a T100R from e-bay. It was a shed find in Canada and currently has no registration number. The engine is seized and there are a number of parts missing. Here is a before and below is a copyright free picture of one that I would be aiming for in the long term.

Engine and Frame Number match with numbers being PG 40533 T100R which makes it a November 1972 manufactured T100R.

Here is a photobucket entry of a really nicely done one.
Another one here.
Found this excellent site where someone did up a T100R in the states.

Shops I could use are
ebay
Tri Cor

Burton Bike Bits
Grint
TMS 

The Parts catalogue is probably pretty near this one  T100C 1971 or this one T100R 1973
