1979 Triumph Bonneville

T140EKA12814

Clear

good shape, had been sitting in a garage for several years. I cleaned the carbs, put a battery charger on it, gave it 4 kicks, & it started & it runs fine. I dont have a tag on it, so I didnt take it on the road,, just around in a field for a 1/2 mile or so. but it shifted thru all 5 gears ok, and now it starts on the 1st or 2nd kick. I dont know if the battery will hold a charge, as its pretty old. The brakes will need some work, I put fluid in them (they were dry, but not dirty) but they will probably need to be cleaned good from the years of sitting. So, I'm selling this as a good running project. Yes, it will need a little work, but mostly its cosmetic. the fork tubes are rusty, and the 2 into 1 exhaust is a bit rattly, it may just need some better brackets. I dont think the rims will clean up very good. some of the other chrome is so-so, some looks pretty good. But, it does run, and seems to run pretty good. To ride it on the road, you will need to fix the brakes. Unless you dont want brakes, in that case, its ready to go. reserve is only 2500.00 engine & frame numbers match. Email with any questions. I'll sell it worldwide. shipping is up to the buyer. I can deliver to the port in Tampa or Miami for 150.00 I am also driving to Pennsylvania in a few weeks, and can deliver it along my route for 250.00 Payment due in full within 7 days. I dont mind holding it for a month tho, so you can arrange shipping, or come get it. Bike is located in SW Florida.
