its pre-unit construction so that makes it before 1966? And appears to be a single carb so that rules out the T120 (Bonneville) and rules in the TR6 (T110) (Tiger?)

It could have been a Bonnie, but then switch manifold and a single carb on it.  No difference between the tiger and the bonnie engine except for the carbs

Ecosse those tires on the bike you posted today are about 80 or 90 bux.. well worth it, they have the boardtracker look to them, and are fatter than regular tires.

 I got them on my all RUST tanker bike.. Had to have them, when i saw they have my name on them... ;D   ;D   ;D

Cheers TR, Triumphs aren't my strongpoint and I wasn't sure if twin carb models has specific dual intake heads or whether, as you say, it was dependant on the manifold. I'm assuming the bike pictured has a aluminum 'head, can't imagine something like that being built with an iron 'head and no coating to prevent rust.

Anyone know any more about the headlight?  All I could find on their website is that it has a 7 lens Xenon projector but I couldn't find anything like it with Google.

I don't like busas... or should I say I don't like the people that ride them
but it's nice and low, the numbering is cool, and the single sided swing arm is neat. OH! and the offset of that back wheel looks centered.(fully reversed rear wheel makes me *BARF*)

edit: he looks like a young Sylvester Stallone

I completely agree with you on that. I think Hyabusas are absolutely hideous and I hate hate hate the modifications done to them. They go from being a 200+mph race bike to nothing more than a crotch rocket/bobber/chopper hybrid trailer queen. As for the people who ride them? I see this one guy almost every day on my way to work doing 60+ mph in a crowded 35 mph zone weaving in and out of cars, I keep expecting to see him scattered all over the road a few blocks later. He never wears more protective gear than a helmet either...
