Welcome aboard! (kinda new here myself). Stick around cause you got the best group of greasy ,two wheeling, sick and twisted freaks and assholes on the net right here. IMHO

the motor he has is a 73/74 T140 right side shift 750, the second letter of his serial numbers is like an"H' or "J".
so all 3 covers will interchange with a 67 and up 650.

Thanks Torch.
That gives me quite a few more options for parts.
My buddy has a lot of T-120 stuff. I'll have to pay him a visit this weekend.
Beer for parts Scotty?

So .. in my never ending search for Brit bike parts to piece the basket case back together ,I run across this guy selling "Old Triumph parts" ' Take the whole pile.. 100 bucks'.



couple small dings, scratches... chrome looked like it would clean up ok..


He bought a house and these parts were in the attic for who knows how long








Looks like all of it came off of the same bike
Coils were 12V so cant be that old... unless converted??
..Any idea what year this stuff might be?

my guess would be 1967 TR6.

Thanks Torch!

nice score for 100 bucks shoot the tank would fetch twice that cleaned up if you ended up not using it, nice one

Legit case #s or no?
E-bay cases.. look great.. cheap.. but the #'s look like originals have been ground off and re-stamped??
Yes.. No .. Maybe??

hmmm,looks kinda sketchy but IDK, mine has Triumph Emblems lightly stamped around it and it looks smoother tho too its no TR6.

Yea... the Triumph emblem looking stuff in the background.
Those cases have been up for sale on E-bay a few times but have not sold ,even though they appear to be in excellent condition, and are pretty inexpensive. My buddy offered up a T-120 lower with cracked cases, and when I was scouting for parts, I ran across those AGAIN. Can't tell if it's faking the funk or not. Anyways...thanks for the response Starwolf

my 1977 cases had a raised block where #are ,background has triumph logo covering said raised block(i,d plate)#s stamped into it over the logo.then again dont know what year they started useing the i,d plate and seen lotta older bikes stamped like yours,,,got paper with cases?

Have not purchased these.
They have been on E-bay a few times at a decent price but have not been bought.
Not sure if the seller has papers for them or not. I was going to piece together a T-120 that a buddy was going to throw my way that had bad cases and saw these .... looks a bit sketchy to me...

looked over photo of #s again,, looks legit ,,because look at area around #s,the beaded look of cases appears to continue all way across.also see the line of casteing ,,appears intact,also if restamped, the area would have depression when material would have been removed in attempt,,of restamping or slight rewelding over old #s,,,,,,,get papers with these , another alarm would be a highly polished look of # stamp area ,,,,be safe then sorry

those numbers are perfectly good 1968 stampings, the raised number pads didn't start until late 68 and the little Triumph stamps started in mid year 1969 along with the letter month and year designation,
This was true for the T100's, TR6, and T120's.
those are good numbered cases

Thanks Torch
Did you go with the Biltwell seat?
