Triumphrat

In the next few months (once I move cross country yet again to my next assignment) I will start my first ever frame off restoration of a 1969 Triumph Bonneville. In preparation I would like suggestions on the books, manuals, parts books I should buy. And equally important, where can I find them. I know I need to order a Haynes Book and one manual is coming with the bike. See attached photo of bike and included manual. More photos to come. Thank you in advance!

Here's another one...

Don't know who owns the bike but I like the seat and the lines of the bike. Wish I could talk to the owner for about 20 minutes.

The seat on this bike is a Corbin. And that is one nice bike!

Unfortunately, the Corbin is the only item I do recognize and now I realize I posted the solo seat picture in the wrong thread (sorry RPedersen...I don't know how to move it to the solo seat post that came in about the same time. Grrrrr)

:

While I'm here though, I can vouch that the "Building Budget Brits" book I ordered about two weeks ago is proving to be very helpful!

"Building Budget Brits" by Mike Brown.

There's another one I'd like to get soon but I'm pacing myself on the credit card in prep for the upcoming resto: http://www.bornagainbikes.net/My_Hom...es/Page11.html
