1962 Triumph T100SS (1962)
First of all, the bad . While this little bike starts, runs, shifts, stops, and doesn't smoke, the top end leaks considerable oil. The leaking appears to be almost exclusively around the pushrod tubes. The headlight, tail light, and brake light all work. That being said, this little bike is one I recently found and bought with the intention of restoring it because it is so unusual. However, I subsequently ran across another project that interests me more and this bike is no longer a priority. So, the bike has to go. The bike is what I would call a survivor. Original paint, with 54 years of patina. The inside of the tank is incredibly clean, but the tank has been dented and repaired on the left side near the front and on the right side near the bottom at the rear of the tank. The repaired areas are clearly visible because they have been painted with a non-matching blue paint. This just adds more character to the bike. The pictures speak for themselves. The bike has too many scars, scabs, scrapes, and bruises to try and list them, but the bike is not a rusty wreck. I think it has lots of charm. You certainly won't run into another original Triumph like it any time soon. It is probably the easiest Triumph to start I have ever owned. After cleaning the carb, installing a new needle valve, and putting in some new spark plugs, the bike started right up. The seat foam was completely deteriorated so I purchased and installed new seat foam. I did not install a new sat cover because I now think the bike deserves to remain an unrestored survivor. The old seat cover is not vynal...it is leather, and it ads character to this cute little bike. One of the features that attracted me to this bike is its distributor. The distributor is located behind the right cylinder and looks super cool. Just like an old car distributor, it has one set of ignition points, a rotor, and a distributor cap. It also just has one coil instead of two like other Triumph twins. Another interesting feature on this bike is the timing cover. At the end of the exhaust cam where the ignition points are located on typical Triumph twins, this bike has a tachometer drive. Unfortunately, neither the speedo nor the tach works. The tach cable spins when the motor is running and the needle on the tach jumps back and forth a little, but the gauges need rebuilt. Both gauges are Smiths Chronometric units and are the correct type units for Triumphs of this era. The bike comes with a clear Florida title. It is an open title, signed by the previous owner. I have not had time to get the bike road worthy and have not, therefore, registered it and transferred the title to my name. Engine is # T100SS H28401. Frame # is H28401. Oh yes, I nearly forgot to mention that the head has one broken fin...the top fin on the left side of the head is broken off. It is clearly visible in the close-up photo of the left side of the motor. If you don't know the one fin is broken you may not notice it.2016-06-20 04:56:44Newberry, Florida, United States9920751

The Hydra-Glide name celebrates its 75th anniversary, dating back to the first hydraulic fork that was equipped to a Harley-Davidson, replacing the springer front end in 1949, while the “slash” fuel tank design, emblem, classic round air filter cover, two-toned windshield, seat, and cases, are all nods to the 1956 FLH.
