1972 Triumph Trident

Clear

Conditon The condition is very good. Everything works as it should. Wheels are true. No bent or broken spokes. Brakes work well. The clutch doesn't slip on hard acceleration.No smoke. Sounds great (no funny noises). Shifts clean. Doesn't slip out of gear. Starts one kick if you know the drill. Excellent compression (110-120 per cylinder, all similar readings).The carbs have been rebuilt and re-sleeved. Tires have plenty of tread and are soft but side walls are cracked. Replacement is recommended if your going to use daily. Small cosmetic imperfections but shows well. Not a trailer queen. In the interest of full disclosure; there are mounting holes drilled in the frames top tube. Either lightening holes to to accomodate different tank positions. Features Custom made exhaust headersBetor front endTracy fiberglass tank treated for use with Ethanol gas (treatment cost $300.00, sent out to a specialist who lines tanks for marine applications).Rebuilt re-sleeved Amal carbs. I have the original carbs as well they have been cleaned too but I was unhappy with their performance.

Runs directly off the motor with a battery eliminator kit. I've never had a problem with it.I added a check valve for the oil bag as it will sump without it. No guages.
