1970 Triumph Trophy

KD59928

Clear

Nice example of a classic Triumph. Restored in 1995 under the watchful eye of legendary Triumph specialist, Gary "Shakey" Kelley. The bike was ridden about 2000 miles after the restoration, so it has the usual paint chips, oil seeps, and patina associated with a bike that is ridden. The restoration parts were replaced as accurately as possible at the time. The bike is very correct and scored an honorable mention at Daytona Speedway Concours in 1995...(beat by a beautiful MV Augusta) in the competition category. The TR6-C was an American only model highly sought after by collectors. The high pipes are original Triumph along with the H-pipe, clamps, and mufflers....not reproductions. Only the barbecue grill was reproduced in New Zealand as the originals were impossible to find at the time.The original speedometer was replaced at just over 3000 miles. The one currently installed shows 18K and the milage is not correct. The original will be included with the sale, but needs rebuilt.All the frame was repainted and bolts cad plated. The wheels were not restored. The K70 Dunlop tires are correct, but have weathering in the sidewalls. The seat is original with the exception of the piping being replaced. The bike has been started and ridden a few times a year, in the past 21 years, so the carb stays clean. The engine was rebuilt at the time of restoration from the crank up....even the sludge trap inside the crank journal. Like most British bikes from that era, the engine doesn't sound as quiet as a modern bike....it's part of the experience. I encourage you to call me on the phone to get all the details on the bike before you bid. Evenings are the best time to catch me at home....ph. 304-453-4112 ask for Dennis I will accept bids from the US and other countries but I will not arrange shipping, crating, or dealing with customs.....I expect the bike to be picked up by a small truck or trailer at my residence. If you cannot arrange shipment, please do not bid. I am located at the westernmost point of West Virginia, just across the river from Kentucky and Ohio....five minutes off Interstate 64 exit 1. The bike is being sold AS-IS, no warranty. Payment should be through PayPal within 7 days of the auction ending. Enjoy the bidding process. If you are a zero feedback bidder, please notify me before bidding.Hoping someone else will enjoy the bike as much as I have....Make some memories.....
