very smart, i'll be staring something very much like this shortly for some off-road work. We have alot of disused railway lines that i like
exploring.... and the poor old jap thing cant handle the pace. 
Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebars to the saddle. |

VERY, VERY NICE!
Of course that level of restoration always puts me in a Catch-22 situation. I buy something to ride it, and in this case, I'd be darn scared
 to take it off road or in the mountains like it was originally
designed. How much do you plan on riding it, or do you plan to keep it in a museum (hide 'em, don't ride 'em).
But there is always room for a 100% quality restoration, no matter the end intention.
Cheers,

Tiger Joe,
Thanks for the note. I ride the Cub regularly off-road on forest trails and old logging roads. At my age, I no longer do anything "heroic,"
so I think the bike is fairly safe, I just clean it up after each session and repair or replace anything I break or lose.
My biggest worry is keeping my thirteen-year-old's mitts off of it, but that's another story.

cute cub
Brilliant job - it looks great. It convinces me that I need to finish mine off (nearly there) so I can do the same and have all you
'cubbies' coo over mine!! |

Stunning
The bike is very sharp! I hope mine looks that good when it's done. Excellent photo also. Would it be possible to post some more pics of the
little beauty? I have posts in "restorations" and "mechanical" asking for help with the mounting of the ET coil and the toolbox.
Can you shed some light in this area? I'm sure everyone would like to see more pics and I encourage all of you to post pics of your treasures.
I know they'll be appreciated.

Hello Al,
Thanks for your post. I have more photos of the Cub and will try to post a couple more. I've refinished and refitted the skid plate since the
photo.
Have also recently remounted the coil and toolbox using the original boltware and some spacers. I'll pull the saddle and take a close-up for you.
Just don't hold your breath, as I might not get to it for a day or two.
Regards,
David |

Thanks!
Thanks David, I will look forward to seeing more pictures and especially the coil area! Allan Robinson has also helped with a description of the
mount. Thanks Allan. Al.

Memories
Your bike looks like the one I rode off the show room floor in 1968-69. I bought the last mountain cub in California when I was 14 years old and rode
it in TT and flat track for a couple of years. I worked at Bellflower Triumph all through high school. There was nothing cooler than a Triumph back
then. I wish I still had her. I recently bought a '62 mountain cub that I'm rebuilding to ride. No show bike like yours though.
It's just a bit of nostalgia for me. If you ever want to part with your magnificient piece of work, send me an email.
Fast Eddie
