Featured One For My Brothers Across The Pond.and Next Year

I have decided to restore my TSX. I don't want to restore the tin ware on there. So I have decided to look around for second hand tin ware to have restored. So you good people if you are out and about and see someone selling bits for the 82 TSX get me the details. I have found a couple of dealers but they are a bit on the pricey side for what I want. Just fallen in love with this bike and want it eventually look new. Or like a DarkMan creation. It was an American import and I believe most went there.

I am glad as well. I just love it to bits. I did the 70 mile TOMCC run on it and it really made me smile. Yes it broke down about 10 miles from home again but I think it was screaming out for a good service. Thanks for the help.
Regards
Joe.

Probably not. I think there was around 370 odd bikes made mostly for the American Market. Its a little rarity. But you never know perhaps one of you good peeps may see some bits or a scrapped bike just wishful thinking I presume. I did find a couple of tanks with damage but they wanted fortunes for them and the Indian market don't supply that particular tank. Good news is I rectified the clutch sticking and got it fired up today and yes it did bring a big smile to my face. But the old starter gear is still clanging so need to get that looked at. I just love it and want to get it perfect for summer riding. You never know sometimes wishes do come true.
Happy Christmas.
Joe.

Yes it never was intended for the UK market. Then it flopped in America. Only 370 odd bike got released.

Regards & Happy Christmas.

Yes it was a feeble attempt at a custom by Triumph. It handles very well and sounds great. The tin work has a few chips and the decals on the tank have started to chip and flake. But its the original so I would replace the bits and have them resprayed.
Happy Christmas.

Wire-Wheels
Yes they were bad days things got a bit tight. And then the Jap Bikes were eating the markets cheaper faster and throw away.
Happy Christmas.
Joe.

Yes I agree in many ways. Just got to get the old bing carbs running right now and its ready again.
Have a great Christmas to you and all of your family.
