These are pre "renovation" photos of my TR6.

This project isn't a restoration - more like a renovation. Except for the buggered electrical system, this '68 tiger wasn't in bad shape when I traded it for a restored CB450. It had a 30-year-old Morgo 750cc barrell, an MAP Mikuni carb conversion, Barnett clutch and a Boyer electronic ignition.  It's in the process of receiving new MAP, H-Beam rods, a new MAP, 774cc alloy barrel, an MAP belt drive as well as a Tri-Spark, fully digital, electronic ignition.  The tank and fenders have been repainted and new and headers installed.  I hope to be able to post some more pics of the build soon.
