There was an outfit in Oregon that sleeved the slide bore and could recondition Amals. Any help would be great. I have a 1967 Triumph TR-6R 650 cc twin with a worn out Amal Monobloc carb.

Very comfy too. Just getting used to his rear sets configuration too; its a tad cramped but I'm used to a racing crouch where you need to hug the tank having owned a succession on Ninjas in the past... I'm now at one with my Bonneville ~ just need to sort out that darn front brake cable switch! Hey have you seen the offerings of bikes on www.bikeexif.com? A great daily fix of super bikes.

I am in the final throes of having cafe'd mine. I just need that sporty stance... and don't fear the grey days, I'm an expat Brit and you need to learn to be at one with the grey skies and damp air. Just wrap up and get out there and watch those slippery corners! Check the latest on my blog for fun Triumph stuff!

I'm sure you have been by to see "the sandy bandit" aka Cliff majors at Cycle Hub. He bought the entire stock of motorcycles and spares when Johnson Motors hung it up years a go. I understand a couple of years back he sold out a lot of his stock for many $$$$. Stuff like 1967 Bonnies in the crate! Like the way your project is going and the Triumph should be a sweet ride. When ya get down to see your folks, I'll let ya have a go on one of my Vincents. Keep up the good work! Mitch Talcove Jenny,

They also sell rebuild kits and parts. My daughter lives in Portland and I have seen various British bikes cruising around town when we went to visit her, so you should be able to fit right in there.
