BODYWORK - Original fuel tank with fairly low mileage paint job. Original front & rear fenders with some scratches, nicks, etc. Earlier style left sidecover with rough paint. Nice oil tank, rough paint. Original seat had the latching tab broken off years ago; no tears.OTHER - This is a mostly original "survivor". The 1070 Bonnie is highly regarded as "the ultimate classic Bonneville". This bike has seen many fun miles, some of them off-road in south Texas ranch country with a set of TR6C Trophy scrambler pipes on it for a few years (I called it a "TrophyVille"). It doesn't smoke, but isn't as peppy as it used to be. With a couple of weekends of loving attention, it can be a real nice every day rider. The bike sat for 9 years and started FIRST KICK with nothing more than cleaned carbs, flushed out gas tank, new spark plugs and a new battery (changed oil & tranny fluid). It would not take much at all to source an original wiring harness, sidecover, horn, and chainguard to make it TOTALLY original. It even has all 4 original "dog bone" head steadies (90% of old Triumphs have had them removed). DOCUMENTATION - Clean title with new plate good for 1 year.SHIPPING - I am including Keyboard Motorcycle Shipping to the buyer's door, insured. I can disassemble and/or crate the bike FOR AN ADDITIONAL FEE.
