Just finished extensive repairs and upgrades on this magnificent 1969 Triumph Bonneville T120R. Fixed all the oil leaks, rebuilt front suspension, replaced rear brake drum and installed new shoes all around, cleaned carbs and fettled a myriad of niggling issues with electrical connections, missing or damaged hardware and removal of silicon sealer where it never should have been. So often I find previous repairs inordinately smeared with mounds of silicon on any old bike, but someone attempted to replace o-rings on the fork seal holders with it on this bike! Ehh, it don’t work like that…

Ye Olde Picture Ad
My wife put together this artwork to commemorate my first complete restoration since opening G6 MotoSports, and to present it to the Triumph owner when he picks up his beautiful bike this weekend! An original advert from an old Cycle mag and photos of before, during and after completion of his very first motorcycle once again in his possession!! Here’s to many miles of enjoyable riding and reminiscing for him!

This 1970 Bonneville only needs some simple service work, fork seals and rear brake shoes, etc. The plan is to make this sweet old bike ride and run like a proverbial Swiss watch!!
