I'm still yearning after a SM or Bobber, but life keeps getting in the way and one of my existing flock would have to go and I can't decide which to part with. I thought the Bobber and SM headlights were pretty much the same but then what do I know? Just rewatched one of your previous videos and yes they are different and yes agree the SM one looks a lot better. Good decision. I love the SM simply because it looks a more practical option, not saying it's better than a Bobber at all. Like them both but for me it's the SM. Would love to have either with a TTS supercharger conversion kit. Pretty pricey I know, but wow, it would be epic, more a match for any Harley. £430 to change oil filter and brake fluid!!!! This as you say is a rip off. Criminal. Even £200 is still a rip off. No wonder you decided to do it yourself. Main dealers are not known as main stealers for nothing. Good you named and shamed. You and Rambunctious should do more ride outs together.

My Corbin seat is on the way. Does the seat come complete with the seat pan or do I need to mount it to the stock seat pan. Thanks, Lovely Motorcycle.

Nice Bike. I have a 64 Atlas Café Racer that I've owned since the 1970s and a 63 650ss completely concours standard.. Noàw the clutch. Yes I use Automatic Transmission fluid. Either age or the ATF rots the Rubber bushes, replace every 5 years. Above all realise that what looks like the chaincase drain plug is the Level plug. You put the bike on the centre stand top up the ATF then open the plug and let it drain to level it shoulod carry VERY little fluid. With that and centrifugal force that clutch runs virtualy dry. It should not slip, was used on many drag bikes back then. The cam on your 650 is the "SS" cam. That was the production racing cam of the period and won multiple Thruxton 500 mile races. In it's day the 650SS was road tested at 119MPH yes that was 10MPH faster than the Bonneville of the same year. If the engine is right and you screw the nuts off it it will do 120MPH. If you really worry about stress fracture, fit late Commando rods, but they are heavier, you will need to rebalance the crank. Norvil will fix all that. The sidestand is a horrible bodged add on. On my Café racer I tool a P11 sidestand and had it braised on nicely so it did not crush the frame tube. ENJOY

You should have done a walk around so we could see more of the bike

I've had two, and done over 50k miles on each. Great bikes that can do everything well. Thanks for the video.

Nice looking bike.

Hi I also have an atlas that has clutch slipping issues ive tried everything but cant seem to cure it. Any advice? Many thanks

Did you have any problems with the motor running badly after you installed the De-Cat and the BC sleeper pipes together? My mechanic informed me that it is highly recommended to replace the factory silencers, but if you do that AND the de-cat it will run horribly and be too loud, better to do one and not the other. Any insight would be helpful and appreciated. Cheers

I purchased 2 K1300S’s which I still own and ride. A 2010 in granite gray with red/black accents (like the video) and a 2013 fancy anniversary edition model. Absolutely love these bikes as they really are the epitome of sport touring with the hard luggage. These bikes give up nothing in performance and bullet proof reliability!

What s this Redford? Look like you are riding a bloody BMW! What s wrong with the T120 Get with the program son

Right on Redford!

Now that s aTriumph! 16:45

planning to get same bike, was it easy to fit rev counter?

Keep it you'll regrate it later

Great looking bike....did you have the map read after the exhaust sys changes. I de-catterd my T100 and fitted the Norman Hyde Toga pipes.....I would like to see how its burning now.....but not got around to it. My T100 is 70+mpg.....mainly A road 60mph max....I use E5 petrol....find it gives better MPG. Carried out several other mods to get it more retro looking....love the bike to bits.....done 6000mls now since late 2020.

Hi have you still got the Corbin seat and it still comfortable just had a quote not cheap ay all, carne make my mind up what to do.thanks Gary

WHAT ABOUT TRADITIONAL OIL LEAKS. YOU HAVE TO FIX A TAP BELOW IT'S OIL TANK SO THAT WHEN BIKE IS NOT IN USE IT SHOULD BE CLOSED.

WHERE IS THE RPM METER.??? MISSING RPM METER.??? WHEN 650SS ORIGINALLY EQUIPPED WITH RPM METER. IT'S PROVISION FROM.TIMING COVER.

WHERE IS THE RPM METER.??? MISSING.???

Link of the different screen?

What a beautiful bike ! Really wish I could have one 😃

What year? I have a 2018 bobber black, wish I could find extras at a good price. I live in Japan so everything is way over priced. Love the mirrors and headlight cover.

Becareful , The old billiam are now looking for holes where DB killers were and nicking people for it Latest tactic to get some money !!! Shame they ignore the idiots in lambo's etc popping and banging everywhere 😡

Very helpful! Thanks

nice bike it is

Yes, the 650 SS has a hot cam. It was called the sports special grind and it was used Manxman twin and a few other limited-production sports bikes. It was carried over to the Atlas when the Atlas was upgraded to twin mono-bloc carburetors and the same cam was used on the Commando models from intro up to the electric start 850 MkIII (also, the Commando Combat engine used a different cam grind). The SS cam grind was considered one of the best back in the day and it provided good performance for many Norton twins.

I have a set of these and when I installed them on my bike the handlebars now flex somewhat, probably due to the added height increasing leverage. Is that normal/ok? They didn't come with instructions and I cannot get anyone from the company to return my email asking this question. Thank you!

Sounds like a bit of a steal. Enjoy

So it's a keeper then?

Bike sounds great mate, looks like UA-cam have nerfed your vid though.

Why is your video only 360p quality? Your T120 sounds lovely.

Cheers, great video hope you're enjoying yours as much as I enjoy mine.

Awwwwwww , Great bike, even better Brother

I Built 2 of them, look and sound great, I love that 900 engine, just very uncomfortable. I used a Trident and a Daytona, both were rough

Those mirrors in black ate everywhere in Google search as cheap £14,00

I bought a pair of those mirrors in black the other day of Ebay. I've just checked, and they are still selling them for £19

Looking lovely!!

Looks great RB... I like the rear rack personally. You'll have to sell it now you've ridden it a 1000 miles! 😀 It annoys me that we can't just reset service lights ourselves.

Beautiful

ok but i'm not spending extra cash just for some guys name on it. (local dealer has this one ..less than 700kms) my comment from here in the future.

Gotta love a bobber 👌

Fantastic machine I wouldn’t dream of selling her, and that pure sound man to die for Triumph rule cheers baz.

Really need some image stabilisation on the camera footage

Hi mate, interesting about the cush rubber thing. I’ve got one of these, getting a bit of clutch slip, also using ATF. I’ll look at it in the winter. I used Commando rods when I did the engine so not too worried about them, I’m more scared of the wheels falling off or something 🤣. Also, looked into a Quaife 5 speed, and seem to remember more like £3000. For 1300 or 1500 I might go for it, but don’t need more speed really.

Fantastic - Where did you get the rear brake light delete housing & dual rear indicator/brake lights from ? Are they easy to fit (plug and play) ?

You can't beat the pipes Triumph fit as standard

You can put tiny on that screen

Very nice mate 🙂

Lovely bike. TTS Performance can do something with the ECU take the rev limiter off as apparently Triumph sets the rev limit low in it's 1200 engines. They can also make the engine breath better and improve the fueling in lower revs. Here's the video they did of the Thornton Hundred Bobber. ua-cam.com/video/P33torozv-E/v-deo.html Your footage doing your walk around was a tiny bit weird in terms of colours and lighting, like it massively over exposed? Quite stylised.

I Built two of these in lockdown, not a comfy bike as you said, do you find the tank too wide between your legs? Looks good, nice job
