I 'acquired' them 'privately'.

They need a bit of work, but I'm looking for a welder before I remove any metal to have a look inside.

Not close up, they need work.

Lafranconi Riservato Competizione anybody? They are not anti social and sound wonderful.

Hello,

Defo not Summer here!

Since the change to Chineese ownership the factory no longer deals direct to customers but via importers.

If you go to motomorini.com and select service you will find the importer in Auckland.

Triumph Motorcycles (NZ) Ltd.

Yes, that is the code. See below - I do not understand whether a K 350 can have either A or K or A/K stamped as there is no explanation on the site. However, my '81 K has a 'K' on the crankcase.

Me neither, make it a back lane scratcher. Get the rivet counters frothing.

Nothing adds up. If it has a K frame then it should have electric start. The engine casing suggests otherwise. The K had more rear set pegs with a linkage to the gear lever. Does it actually have a generator (2 yellow wires)? If it was a racer it might just have a magneto coil for the ignition under...

Nah, appears to have a later kinky frame.

I was also taught that. Compress the forks then apply the front hard. The rear will become unweighted and will lock.

The 500 used a splitter to operate both carbs.

So serious troubles, did you report this to the factory or importer? Poor sod, burning himself, you can be too nice too apparently ;) Did you tell the german chap it's actually Chinese? ;) Yes I did, but the problem is that the importer had changed to Moto Mondo, who failed to contact me, but would...

More photos... including my attempt at a tail tidy. A great bike spoiled by a design fault and a tank that needed to be 17 or 18 litres. When the fuel ran low, if you braked or went down hill the bike would cut out as the fuel pickup for the pump was at the rear of the tank. The most I got out of a...

I was overtaking a line of cars on the two lane A19 betwixt York and Thirsk and as I accelerated I felt a very high frequency vibration. I stopped further up the road to fill up and a guy came over and said my number plate was missing. Surprised, I looked and the whole thing had fractured down by th...
