1965 Triumph Bonneville

Beautiful classic Triumph that was restored to ride. Work was completed by Jaye Strait of Britech New England. If you are familiar with Jaye's decades of work with British bikes, you know he is a perfectionist with an attention to detail. My request of Jaye was to keep the bike primarily stock, with a few nods to reliability as my plan was to ride the bike on a regular basis. However after taking delivery of the bike, I was just able to put on the break in miles and service before a nerve problem in my foot ended all of my motorcycle riding. Over the past year I have kept it properly stored and started it on a regular schedule while I came to the decision to sell the bike rather than continue to store it. Little over 500 miles since restore. The bike is a very strong runner with great torque. All of the engine components are standard for a T120C. One note, I live in Utah so it is jetted for higher elevation. I you live at a lower elevation, you will want to replace the main jets. Jaye used so many NOS and OEM parts in the build that rather than list them I have attached a photo with the parts. You will notice the carbs are from a newer model, but I have the original carbs that are in excellent condition. Again, this was my choice as a rider. Upgraded 12 volt electrics including HID headlight bulb. Please look at the photos and the parts list. The paint is very nice including powder coat on frame and other parts such as wheel hub, backing plate and foot pegs. The postal rack has a couple of spots on the chrome. The seat is good, but it is an older replacement cover. So depending on how picky you are and whether you will actually be riding the bike, these may not be an issue for you. I did take the bike to a few shows and events, and of course everyone loves the bike. If you want more specific photos, they can be emailed. Ebay has a limit on photos. The bike is sold as is with no warranty. I will add a video, or at least a video link of the bike starting cold. It typically starts on 1st or 2nd kick if carbs are tickled properly and a couple of twists of throttle pre kick. Here is starting bike cold: https://youtu.be/fYK-c5zBBj0 $500 deposit upon completion of sale. I will sell the bike to an overseas buyer, but overseas buyers acknowledge that they are responsible for knowing the process to import a motorcycle to their country and they are also responsible for all fees, including customs and shipping. All buyers are responsible for having the bike shipped and any related costs if they do not pick it up locally. The bike and title will not be released until funds clear. Thank you for checking out the bike.
