G'day viewers just wondering how different is the frame on a triumph Bonnieville 750 1976 model. To  a triumph scrambler of the same area ? Thanks jimson

TR7T?,came along a bit after 76,but you would havta think not much change in the basic design,2-1 exhaust into boxy muffler,mates dad had a yellow one,(think they were all yellow?),only one i ever saw,(or worked on),pretty rare bird them suckers,smaller lucas comp headlite,21" front wheel,no chrome,everything black,in hindsight a little ahead of their time i guess,now you get big off road adventure bikes from hinkley, tiger trails?,just do it Garry,hannibal gigantus mate  ,

Can you be more specific on what this is though?

If its this model then this is much later than 76



All the 750 frames are the same though besides small things like brackets and tabs. You gotta remember this is Triumph were talking about, one of the many british brands stuck in their ways and reluctant to advance/move on, and kept recycling old model parts with each newer model not having any major updates and that's what killed them in the end. By the time that yellow tiger trail came out in the early 80's , they were doing things cheaply which is one of the reasons for the all black finish on this model and a few other of the last variants in the early 80's. By then it was all too late and they missed the boat.

If you can be a bit more specific as to what you want to do/swap/mix n match then you will probably be able to get a more specific answer.

Yes Mick your onto it lol I just have to clean it up for rego. Then I'll attack it, just trying to get the thoughts running in my head. Do you do a flat track seat & tail for the Bonnieville mate ? Jimson
