Bike is being relisted as buyer did not pay.The break-in period for this engine is nearly complete. The head is retorqued, valves re-adjusted and shake-down completed. It is ready to ride and it rides nice!1969 Triumph 650 bobber, professionally built by Bison River Customs with less than 200 miles on it since completion. This bike has a fresh top end rebuild and rebuilt carburetor, forks were disassembled, inspected, powder coated and reassembled with new seals. The complete front end with disc brake is fitted from a newer Triumph T-140. This bike was styled after the early '50s hard tails but longer, lower with better handling and braking. It has an original 1950s oil tank with an additional retro style external oil filter common on Harleys from the 1940s and 50s. It also features a 1950s style Exide, side mount battery box, opposite the oil tank. The engine is a 1972 TR6RV with .060 0ver pistons. It is the rare 5 speed with an updated gear box. The countershaft sprocket is 21 tooth, which allows for lower rpms and less vibration at highway speeds. The speedo on the bike was one that I put on to ride it but it looks good so it will stay with the bike, however the miles showing on it do not reflect miles on this bike. An original old style choke lever is mounted on the left side of the handle bars and functions correctly. The indicator lights in the headlight bucket work and are set up to indicate low oil pressure, head light on and high-beam on. It has a right side axel mounted license plate base with a with a S/S Model ‘T’ tail light with blue dot lens. Rear ribbed fender was custom ordered heavy gage aluminum from 7 Metal West, mounted with solid steel custom fabricated fender struts that are brushed and powder coated clear. Frame is powder coated gloss black as well as fork tubes and shrouds. Tins were freshly painted two tone, deep metal-flake black and blue by Wild Card Customs. Rims and hubs are powder coated and laced cross-3 with Buchanan stainless steel spokes and nipples, wheels are 19” rear and 21” front. A spring loaded chain tensioner with high speed bearings was added from Monster Craftsman, which gives a lot of latitude for drive chain adjustment, helping to eliminate chain slap. This bike is a one kick starter with a Boyer electronic ignition and the recommended new 6 volt coils. Built to ride, and at around 300 lbs. total weight, this bike is designed to be fast, dependable and stop quickly in traffic. With a disc brake up front and spool hub brake in rear this bike stops very fast! Not a trailer queen but close to it, it has looks and sound that attract attention! Note: the mirror pictured does not come with the bike, it is there temporarily so I can drive the bike here legally while I run in the new piston rings. Though most of the parts on this bike are either rebuilt or new, there is no warrantee expressed or implied. Winning bidder is responsible for transport.
