I started this bike last year to re-create the bike I streeted then later raced in the early '70s.
The original was a 1960 T100A converted to twin points and the later frame mods to the swingarm spindle end brackets.
40 years on and I found a basket case T100T frame (1967) with the original (wrecked) motor and a good T100R (1973) motor on ebay.
There are lots of good restored parts with this buy but most of it will be sold as this bike is pure special build.
So far the frame & swingarm have been enamelled, the engine & gearbox, carbys rebuilt and it's a loosely assembled rolling chassis.
The rear brake is Honda 350 in an 18" flanged alloy rim the front is Grimeca 4L/S in an 18" rim and the forks are brand new from the factory Norton short roadholders just like the original in alloy triple trees.
The oil tank, front mudguard and Dunstall style seat are home made in carbon fiber and the crowning glory is the fuel tank, a perfect replica of the factory race tanks used at Daytona from Glass from the past.
Next post I'll start from the beginning properly with what has been done so far.
