Amazing looking bike Rick and Will, I really enjoyed my time working with Rick, he taught me everything about workbench management and organisation and also everything I know about wooden brake blocks. Legend.
Cheers mate! He's a legend indeed, invaluable to the motorcycle world and always keen to pass on knowledge. Theres more to these old bangers than the average Joe would think!
Thanks mate! Pipes are a suprise, no high levels but very cool none the less. They are one of my favourite parts of the build. Hopefully get them fitted next week 🤞
Cheers mate! I can't wait to have it on the road, hopefully I can run it in before summer. The sealer is loctite black silicone. Definitely leave it to dry before fitting under compression!
i put motor on the lawn then drop the frame over, but then i don;t have useful mates like Rick. £'d of gone EI, just sayin', or are you going capacitor ignition?.
Yes that's always a handy way of doing it! Battery and points with a capacitor at the ready for emergency. It's possible I'll go ei in the future but points can usually be fixed on the road. Ei not so much which put me off!
Dear Sir(s) Love the rebuild, however, there are different push rod tube o-rings at different thicknesses , This should have been mentioned as the proper"crush" should be checked as the cylinder head is dropped on the barrels which should be 1/16 when you set the cylinder head on the barrels, Just as he pointed out the different crankshaft gears.
Hi Mike, cheers it's coming along nicely now! Yes you are right about the varying thicknesses. It probably was a point worth mentioning however my videos are not "how to's" more a vlog of what were up to with the occasional tip or pointer. It's very difficult to prioritise what gets mentioned and what doesn't. I cut a lot of stuff out as there is something to be said for every part of a rebuild but if I did the episodes would be be very long and potentially quite boring. That being said I will be taking on another triumph project soon and will be sure to mention measuring the proper crush. Cheers, will
One cannot overstate the advantage of having another set of knowledgeable hands at one’s side.
Another great collaboration video Will. A great watch.
I look forward to each weekend for your video to appear. Well done.
Cheers mate! Glad you enjoyed it, I can't wait until I get to fire it up.. New video tomorrow but hopefully fire up next week!

Cheers mate! Well happy with how it is coming along 👌
Great work guys 😁
Cheers mate!
Hello Im a new subscriber and I'm loving these videos. Keep up the good work! I also enjoy the music.
Thanks for subscribing! Blues in the workshop can't be beaten! It's working music after all..
Coming along nicely. Very nice work.
Thanks mate it's certainly getting there!
Great progress Will.Looking forward to the next video.👍
Cheers Trevor, I have been out riding this week. Next week fingers crossed for a fire up!
Looks ace and it's been a great journey to watch.
Thanks mate, still plenty more to do! I always find the final jobs take the longest
@@ColemanCustoms While I do look forward to the hooning about part I can surely wait for that in exchange for 'plenty more to do'.
Nice progress
Thanks mate!
imho, built is ALWAYS better than bought!
🤘😎🤘
Absolutely mate, couldn't agree more! 😁
@@ColemanCustoms 🤙
Fantastic progress Will and Rick. What a solid motor you have now.
The bike looks the part, very Steve McQueen!
Best wishes, Dean.
Cheers Dean, hopefully it'll plod on for many years to come. Shame the rider doesn't have Steve mcqueen looks!
The bike looks great Will, now I also know how to mount two pistons in the cylinders at the same time.
Cheers mate! Yes definitely a fiddly thing to do but made easier with ring compressors and 2 pairs of hands 👌
Brilliant video mate 👍, soon the old girl will be on the road.
Peace out ✌
Cheers mate! Yes not long now, hopefully we get a good summer for her!
Excellent progress guys. It would be nice to see a video on Triumph cam timing at some point when this project is done. Keep up the great work.
Cheers mate! Aye that's a video for Rick and my mate Pete from ace classics, he's a real wizard at that stuff.. Maybe some time in the future...
Fabulous looking build Will. What pipes are you going for?
Thanks mate! Pipes are a suprise, no high levels but very cool none the less. They are one of my favourite parts of the build. Hopefully get them fitted next week 🤞
Very cool. I can't wait to see it back on the road. What kind of sealer are you guys using with those pushrods?
Cheers mate! I can't wait to have it on the road, hopefully I can run it in before summer. The sealer is loctite black silicone. Definitely leave it to dry before fitting under compression!
Nice videos,quick question when you rebuilt the 650 did you use the original con rods ?
Hey man, where did you get the rocker box covers? Thanks

Why haven’t I got a Rick next door😢
A Rick Is always handy, but don't feed after midnight or expose to water!
