Hi Eddie,
Late to the party as usual
Great looking bike, and I agree the '68 is the best!
I note that you rate the smoothness. Mine was also the smoothest running Triumph twin I'd ever owned until I put a '68 flywheel on my T140.
I then sold my '68 due to relocating. I know where the '68 resides, and still wonder if I should 'make that call'...
My own view, for what it's worth... leave the f***ing thing alone!
You're in grave danger of changing it into something that is no longer as nice as a '68 Bonnie
Belt drive sounds good though, and an SRM (or similar) clutch pressure plate would be a good upgrade.
When I built my Combat (sold the day I visited you!), I liked the fact that it was a 'showroom' bike, and it was great to know that (apart from sensible mods) a stock bike could be so good.
But like they've already said... it's your bike
