How to Restore Triumph Bonneville T140 (Enthusiast's Restoration Manual)

The T140 still represents the best overall value in the Meridan Triumph model series even with their shortcomings. There are still complete machines with reasonable mileage on the clock, representing opportunities to get into Classic British Motorcycling. The trick to owning the Bonneville and Tiger variants, is to understand how they are assembled to help you learn how to work on them within your abilities. This book allows for varying degrees of technical knowledge and provides real practical hands on information with assembly techniques and supporting photographs.If you wish to acquire one of these modern classics, you will want learn a thing or two about how they operate. Do yourself a favor and get this book, especially after you have been around the machine awhile.

If you own a Triumph Bonneville T140 this book will be invaluable to you. I have owned my 1977 Bonny since new and pretty much have done all my own repairs and maintaining. I have Haynes, Clymer and the factory manual, but this is the most straightforward repair / restoration book I've ever used. Bonnevilles did change over the years...but he covers the basics with text and photographs that will help any Bonny T140 owner. I am putting my Triumph back on the road after a 5 year hiatus and I found this book entirely by chance....you will not go wrong purchasing this book and adding it to your Triumph Bonneviile Library.

The combination of good photos and accompanying text is like watching a video of a complete restoration - but without having to rewind and find a spot if you want to recheck something. So glad I got this book as I begin my restoration project.

A very helpful restoration book

This book is awesome! Thanks!

This book is helpfull for restoration of motorcycles in general, but it misses all the relevant details, and hints and tricks of restoring Triumph twin motorcycles like the covered 140 model. The pre 78-twins have ten secrets about every little bolt mounted on them :-)If you really want to overhaul a Bonneville 140 then you require the parts book, the workshop manual and beside a lot of information of somebody who knows this bikes well or you deep investigation of the one and only Triumph forum.

You cannot get enough manuals when building a bike! This book has it limitations but also insights into areas other books don't take you. Worth adding to your collection.

This book is a quality printDespatch and delivery was extremely slow

This turned out to be the best purchase of the project. Coupled with the factory manual, it told me all I needed. So much better than Haynes.

What I didn't like about the book was that the author didn't delve deep enough into most component repairs. Most of the time he just says that that part looks ok so it is left alone. A restoration guide should go into all restoration scenarios, not just cover the easy bits. A good workshop manual is better value.
