One bad motorcycle. I remember having a friend with a spark plug that fouled and his comment was something is wrong when that little triumph can keep up. (Rick H) Dont go with to high of compression with this bike.

Also, what is the inspection plate on the tranny for? I have a P11 and a P11A. Cheers, Rick

No room for a batter ? If you’re thinking old school wet cell lead/acid battery….. I hear you. But this bike deserves better and there’s a whole new generation of tiny (2″ x 3″ x 1.4″ ) batteries out now that have 600-800 cranking amps…… more then enough to crank your P-11. I use one on a 13:1 Ducati 888 and it’s just amazing what these new 1-2-3 batteries can do and where they can be put….. in any orientation.

Thanks, guys, really nice to hear from ya. Agree on the front fender, and I think the rear rotor (same size as fronts) is way too big, but for now I’m going to resist the urge to mess with things. Be happy if I can just get the darn thing started–there’s no battery and no place to put one! Good thing I live on a hill. Richard, the P11 does look good parked next to a certain Mule street-tracker with a wooden seat…

I saw a picture of this bike right after purchase and thought. “Oh no! He’s done it again!” But this thing is awesome looking! Plus, it’s a build up over many years, using the trickest of the trick for components with builder know how on which stuff to pick and from what bike to pick it from. No catalog bike here!! Very nice.
