Oooops. Clarification. The bikes mufflers are not pea-shooters, but they are not the stockers for this (1972) model. They are stock style as used in earlier Triumph models. Great sound tho!
My guess is the bike is wet sumping. When on the side stand the oil pooling in the crankcase is transferring to the primary. There should not be 18 oz of oil in the primary. Check the oil pump to make sure there is no debris preventing the balls from seating.
I'll be really curious to see how high the primary oil gets on it's own. Seems weird that it would get high enough to leak out of that timing cover, but we'll find out.
No. Just stock Triumph mufflers. Search thru the published videos and look for some of the 1971 Green Goddess vids.

Hi Frank, I did some research and found the source of my confusion. Apparently lots of people are calling the original "sausage on a stick" mufflers pea shooters. When you see real pea shooters (green goddess) you can see the name fits. Looks like pea shooters are a Norton muffler. Emgo makes them to fit Triumphs.
Frank, thank you that clears it up! I love the sound of the stock mufflers and never liked the look but they are growing on me.

6:48 the small pipe is to vent the oil tank vapour down to the branch fitting, otherwise the oil tank/tube could get pressurised (or is unvented)
@@fjdelmonteStock mufflers, albeit from earlier in Triumphs production years as a 72 Bonnie should have reversed cone type mufflers.
Yes, correct. Earlier model stockers. The 72 had tapered mufflers and a cross-over tube between the pipes. Thanks.
