Located in the Bay Area, CA between San Francisco and San Jose, this motorcycle has been sitting in the owner's family room since work was completed in 2011. Never started, no fluids added except fork oil. Will need to have fluids added, battery installed, idle set, and timing set. IMPORTANT: This is a 45 year-old vintage bike that deserves to be preserved by a mature collector who understands what service & maintenance are required to own a classic bike of this vintage. I will be as helpful as possible, but I cannot serve as a full service shop from afar. TERMS: Motorcycle is sold as-is, where is, and with no warranty expressed or implied. If you like – and if I can** – and at additional cost, I will add fluids, and install a battery. I may be able to set the idle and timing. HOWEVER, I will not be responsible for bluing of the exhaust, or any wear & tear test riding the motorcycle. In any case, the mechanical parts which are new need to be gently broken in – as per factory recommendations. (**Please contact me before you bid if you must have this work done. I have two replaced hips and have great difficulty kick starting a motorcycle). What you see is exactly what you get, so please ask questions before auction closes. Buyer responsible for all shipping arrangements and costs. I will provide reasonable assistance. $1000 non-refundable deposit due within 48 hours of auction end. Paypal for deposit is OK. Balance due either money order, cashiers check or cash. No banco esquidor, no bitcoins, no trades. No excuses. Finally, need I include this (?), serious bids only.

A small amount of engine oil added to each cylinder. The engine is turned over occasionally. On May-24-15 at 10:37:18 PDT, seller added the following information: I want to disclose an error in the listing: A fellow Triumph collector showed me that the front fender has the cable routing hole used in 1968. Not sure why - the original owner stated when I bought the bike that it came that way. He had the tank and fenders painted with Don Hutchinson paint, to a beautiful finish - too nice to try to correct without a visible repair. Personally, I would leave it as is... The original set of photos did not show this...please see added photo. THANKS NOTE: If you bid after this information is posted, you acknowledge and accept the change.
