Just picked up a pretty nice 79 t140e here near me. It is sorta 70's style chopped (long front end, king queen seat but the rest is very nice.
It sat for years and then was inherited by a guy's brother. He took it to a shop, had them tune it up, and then he decided against it. I bought it non- running but feel I got a sweet deal.
I am thinking of turning it into a flat track style rather than a full bore resto. I have a couple HDs but enjoy these "orphan motorcycles" (as my wife calls them). Anyone can help steer me into some cheap sources for kits or home brew , I would greatly appreciate the help.
I recently did a Honda 150 for the wife and she didn't want it when it was finished. Sold it and used the money for this priject. Had Triumphs back in the 70's and owned HD since. My first Triumph since 1978!
