1973 Triumph Trident

T150VCH03451

Clear

This is a 1973 Triumph Trident T150V, one owner, 3800 original miles, almost everything on the motorcycle is original (with the exception of the gators and a few rubber parts), the rubber on the foot pegs, nuts and bolts, seat, gauges, controls, Lucas turn signals, handle bar, paint, shocks, tie wraps etc, are all original, it even still has the original tires. All the chrome is in excellent condition including the wheels. The Trident is in amazing condition because it has been in a climate controlled museum since the mid eighties. I bought the bike from a 70 year old gentleman who found he had to store some of his bikes and a local museum offered to display them. Well, the longer they stayed there, the longer they stayed there. Recently the museum had to close and the bikes came home. The owner agreed to sell the Trident to me, and I have the open signed Georgia title in his name. I put a new correct battery in the bike and all lights and controls work as intended (even the original Lucas flasher!). I went through the top end of the bike, replaced the original spark plugs, replaced all the top end gaskets, and replaced the original oil and filter twice, I have ridden the bike about 20 miles (remember original almost 40 year old tires) to make sure every thing works as intended. I used Red Line gear oil in the transmission and it shifts perfectly. The brake master cylinder was stuck so it was replaced with an OEM master cylinder, the original rubber brake lines were collapsed internally so also replaced them with OEM parts. All the original parts replaced will come with the bike. The bike starts first kick and runs as a low mileage Triumph should with no issues. The gas tank and carbs look new inside, as you can see in the pictures the red flashes on the tank have faded, if the tank were repainted the Trident would almost appear new. I have been told by a local Triumph expert that the 1973 Trident was the best of the lot and to find a completely original survivor with this low a mileage and one owner is very very rare. The Trident is for sale locally so it’s possible the auction will end early. If you have any questions please email or call, 678-401-2346. Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE
