I was digging thru some dudes garage yesterday and saw a frame in the corner under a pile of crap and it turnes out to be a T120R. After some Googling it looks
like Triumphs attempt at an oil in the frame kinda setup. Anyone here have any knowledge on these bikes? Thinking if the guy has enough of the bike left maybe
do a bobber on it. Just kinda getting a feel for things before I say yes or no to the deal.

i owned a 72 model triumph 650 tiger (oif) oil in the frame bike . it was a great bike . they say there was alot of trouble with the frames getting small
cracks in em near the bottom and oil leaks from hell . but mine never leaked a drop . i didnt trust the screen cup in the bottom of the frame as the only oil
filtering for the engine so i ran a cartridge type filter externaly mounted from a triumph tripple (got it from M.A.P. enterprises out of florida) have seen a
bunch of the old bolt on or weld on hard tails for em on e-bay and other places . there is still places to get engine parts or full resto parts for the whole
bike , from florida all the way to canada. and the prices aint real bad . i always loved the old triumph twins , they look good and have a unique sound with
drag pipes . just make sure you have someone who knows triumph engines do the re-build . cause they are very finnicky engines (if the sludge trap in the crank
gets clogged the motor blowes ) but they are peppy as hell and a blast to ride .
