1973 Triumph Trophy

TR5TPH20147

LOWERED RESERVE SINCE LAST AUCTION!!! 1973 Triumph Trophy Trail 500 for Sale. Recent work done (February 2011) on it by a certified Triumph/BSA mechanic: New battery, oil, speedo drive cable, Tach cable, adjusted & lubed chain, replaced rockerbox gaskets, adjusted rocker, new gas petcocks, adjusted points, sealed exhaust pipes, rebuilt carb, new trans oil, adjusted clutch, skid plate mounted, new plug caps, plugs, turn signal bulbs. Original Key, with 3 spares. Two-owner bike since '73, with all the manuals (shop manual, parts manual, owners manual, Haynes shop book), some extra parts, documentation of all parts purchased since I owned it, and documentation of recent work done. Odometer reads 4,089 miles, but it probably has more than that on it (cable stopped working prior to my purchase in the 90's)--All cables are now working. Original Dunlop Tyres (off bike), Metzler mix and semi knobby currently on the front. Original seat, gas tank (incredible shape) as well as some decals that I haven't put on it since I like the clean polished aluminum look. The Bike is originally from the upper Mid-West, so it had short riding seasons, and has always been stored in-doors in the winter till moving to California. This would be a great restoration bike, or vintage flat-track racer. Street legal, numbers match, registered, insured, clean CA Title and it runs like a champ! Might need a quick electrical patch--battery has a slow drain, but starting and running is unaffected because of triumph's original set-up with the solenoid and kick-starter. Rear brake light cover is cracked underneath, and aside from those two issues, the bike is in cherry shape and starts on the 2nd or 3rd kick. Pick up only, deposit of US $500.00 within 48 hours of auction close. Full payment required within 7 days of auction close.
