Project Choice Advise
I'm looking at a couple Triumphs and BSA's as a potential project for me and my kids. The choices include a 71 Tiger, 68 BSA Lightning, 68 Trophy/Daytona Chopper and 70 Tiger. All are in need of various levels of restoration and a couple will need parts, such as forks, seats, etc. I like the looks of the BSA, but I was told that the motor is locked up, but the owner indicated that he wasn't sure if it was the motor or tranny. Silly me neglected to ask if he could get the bike into neutral to confirm the problem was in the motor. This will be my first English classic rebuild and we are not in a hurry...it's a two part plan: 1) teach the kids some shadetree mechanics and 2) get a second bike in the garage... Any recommendations? I don't have a lot to spend up front and really like the BSA "package", but a little concerned with the locked engine. I gather this could become a major expense...
