1951 framed 1954 TR6 Pre Unit Triumph Bobber. I completed this build about a year ago to add to my collection of period correct and restored Triumphs. I believe there are no more beautiful and affordable machines then these early Triumphs.This particular machine was put together with an authentic 1951 Triumph rigid frame. These were only produced until 1953. The frame neck was professionally slightly raked (about 10 degrees). New front springer was acquired and installed for a truly stunning stance. The motor a 1956 TR6 650 cc and is completely polished - including cases, covers, etc as well as transmission. Full rebuild including flywheel sludge trap cleaning were performed. 9 bolt later model top end installed with Bonnie head, cams and pistons, Mikuni carbs and Lucas Competition magneto. Period Jardine slash cut pipes really set it off. Most of these parts are very rare. Bates headlight, re-covered Bates seat, Ford fender and tail light, 21" front wheel with brake, 18" Harley rim laced to Triumph hub are a few more details. Rear Tire is new. Front is period Avon Speedmaster with good tread remaining. With the Bobber scene booming, especially on the West coast and abroad and release of the modern Triumph bobbers, these period builds are demanding appreciating values. This bike has been displayed frequently and as expected gets a lot of attention.It is a one or two kick start only bike and really a great runner. Correct 4 speed transmission is smooth as butter.The bike has been displayed with several styles of bars installed. It currently has straight bars.I have too much invested in this build to list without a reserve - sorry. If you want a truly stunning piece of Americana, bar hopper show piece this bike is for you. Only selling to further my obsessions. Always looking for Triumph Pre Unit projects and parts as well Norton, BSA, AJS, Ariel, British stuff. This bike was originally built in 1967 as a 10 inch over chopper. I re-built it as the road burner you see by replacing the front frame section. It comes with a self assembled Ohio 1967 Title and assigned vin plate. Please feel free to call me with any questions. 614-506-3540.
