Timing Cover can do just more than being a cover

Posted on by
This is a clock I made a while back from a Classic 70’s Norton Commando engine side cover .


Step 1Find a Classic 70’s Motorcycle side cover

I still  own, and  ride,  my two Classic British motorcycles, a restored 1967 Triumph Trophy 650, and a 1972 Norton Commando Interstate 750. I loved them back in the 60’s and promised myself I would someday ride and own at least one. Well I did just that.
I would go to swop  meets and buy spares parts. One day I found some engine side covers for cheap. So I cleaned them up and found a clock that almost fit the timing point socket on the right side.


Step 2Get a clock that fits in the timing point hole

I was lucky to find a small battery clock that almost fit in the timing point hole. All I needed was to fill the space around the clock so it was snug. Leatherwork is one of my hobbies, so I cut out a ring of black leather to fit. 


Step 3Make a bracket to hang it

I made a bracket of flat aluminum stock to hang it. I drilled some holes in the middle to attach it to a wall hook.


Step 4Put some nice stainless bolts on the outside

I wanted some nice border bolts to glitz it up. I found some nice staainless steel hex head ones at Homeydepo. Put the gasket around the clock, put in a fresh AAA battery, place it in the hole, hang it and enjoy!


Step 5I made one from a Triumph too!

Since I love 60’s Triumphs too I also made one of those. I’m recycling metal and making art too. Wow, who would have guessed? Enjoy, time waits for no man (or woman)!

The True Legend

Posted on by

the TRIUMPH Tiger 80 English was a bike built by Triumph 1937.





In the second half of the year 30 Triumph decided to design and market a new range of lightweight single-cylinder vehicles marketed under the name of Tiger 70, 80 e 90(the model indicates the maximum speed) with displacement, respectively 250, 350 e 500 and c.


The excellent sales results of these models enables the company to bring its disastrous finances of (mined by the Great Depression of the 1930) and generate good profits in the years to follow and makes our Triumph one of the largest motorcycle companies in England.
The engine of the T80 was a single cylinder four-stroke with a displacement of 349 cc. and had a power of 20Cv a 5700 rpm. The change was 4 speed and the final chain drive.




With the outbreak of World War II was set up as a model for military use named 3HW until, on the night of 14 November 1940, German bombers destroyed all the work of the Triumph and then ending the production of the Tiger.
After the rebuilding was put into production only the model 100, while the others were finally abandoned.
