Freddie Dobbs' Bonneville | Don't Drop It!

Join me in this video after taking on the challenge to fix @FreddieDobbs Triumph Bonneville T100SE. This motorcycle is the central focal point of his channel and has been right there with him on many adventures from all over Europe to the Sahara, across the Atlas Mountains to the local coffee shop!
We start out this video with something a little different, there is a BSA/CCM in desperate need of a new exhaust....
Back to Dobb's Bonneville, we are finally on the rebuild, getting the barrels and pistons as well as the cylinder head back on and torqued down.... Got to be careful not to drop anything down into the cases now!

Yeah - my Mrs usually chucks the nuts and bolts about that I've carefully put to one side. The jokes on her though because it was her brakes I was servicing last time she did it.

Very interesting to see how methodical you have to be with the progressive torque increments. I found Emily's commentary very useful! The putting back together begins!!:)

Good to see Freddie rebuild the Bonneville.I owned a 76 Bonneville and totally rebuilt it.New wirring harness, stator, steering bearings, wheels and wheel bearings and 15 years later it was still running as sweet as a nut.Paid twelve hundred to buy it,sold it for eight thousand five hundred dollars.

All credit where it's due, because this episode is probably the best yet. Having someone else doing the camera work is a vast improvement on you holding a wide angle lens yourself, where it is often annoying to follow. You are starting to relax behind the camera and be yourself and the combination of you both in creating an explanation of what you are doing is also a good touch.

You should really add a couple of tabs and springs to the exhaust to connect to the barrel (drill small holes for the springs to attach, also add safety wire) since the BSA is a scrambler style bike. It'll never come loose/out again.

Taking the car to France this time, as my 80 year old sister is coming with me, and she is not keen on bikes! (Otherwise, I would have joined up with one there). I did last year's DGR in Málaga on my 1969 Suzuki T200 Invader.

I’ve built a lot of car engines and looking at the design of the newer Bonneville engines, they look like an absolute treat to work on. Worse engine I’ve built was a Lotus 901 out of my Jensen Healey. Not that it was really a difficult engine it was just the thought of its longevity after going through a rebuild.

@kdsowen2882 5 ай бұрын

It is very-relaxing listening to you explain things to Emily , top-job all-round . You can gently 'tap' things with a small engineers-hammer as you go-along too (between Torques ) it can unlock minor stress-points and give even-more equal torque . It's a 'Must' for big-end caps etc , though probably sounds too 'old-school' for many . It mimicks the settling-in/bedding process when you first-start an engine . I hope Mr Dobbs applies at least half the care seen here , in his continued-use of this once-poor-machine Dave nz
