WELL HERE WE GO, UP FOR BIDS IS MY 1972 TRIUMPH THAT I BUILT BOUT FIVE YEARS AGO I GOT IT AS A FRAME AND MATCHING NUMBER MOTOR AND DID MOST OF THE WORK BUT AS I SEE IT ITS STILL A WORK IN PROGRESS . SHES BEEN SITTING FOR ABOUT FIVE YEARS IN MY SHOP COLLECTING DUST AS I HAVE OTHER PROJECTS THAT TAKE PRIORITY.SO THAT BEING SAID ILL TRY TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY TO DESCRIBE THE GOOD AND BAD. FIRST THE GOOD,I DOES RUN !! I REPLACED THE NECK BEARINGS WITH TIMKIN CONICAL BEARINGS , THE HEADLIGHT IS A S&M SPOTLIGHT WITH A PATD DATE OF 06 30 14 THE GRIPS ARE BROOKS STACKED LEATHER GRIPS AND FEEL REALLY GOOD AS YOUR ROLLIN DOWN THE ROAD , THE FRONT END IS A DNA SPRINGER 2" UNDER. NEXT IS THE JOE HUNT MAGNETO THAT FIRES REALLY STRONG WITH CLOTH BRAIDED WIRES,THE MAGNETO CUTOFF IS ABOUT A 1910 TELEGRAPH KEY , THE FUEL PETCOCKS ARE NEW BRASS UNITS AND HAVE LITTLE GARGOYL HEADS FOR LEVERS THAT CAME OFF AN OLD SWORD CROSS HILT, THE GAS CAP IS AN ANTIQUE NEPTUNE WATER METER COVER,SEAT IS CUSTOM MADE PIGSKIN WITH A KYDEX UNDERLINER, HEADERS ARE HOME MADE WRAPPED WITH BLACK HEADER WRAP,ELECTRICS ARE HANDLED BY A MIGHTY MAX,THE OIL TANK IS AN OLD STEEL FIRE EXTINGUISHER WITH A SOLID BRASS GUARD MADE FROM A SOLID BRASS DOOR KICK PLATE AND A BRASS CAP. FOOT PEG RUBBERS ARE NEW AS IS THE KICK STARTER RUBBER ,CARB IS NEW TAIL LIGHT IS A HARLEY TURN SIGNAL WITH A CUSTOM PLATE HOLDER CLUTCH COVER HAS BEEN VENTED AND THE TRIUMPH PLATE WAS INLAID WITH BLUE ABALONE ,PAINT IS RATTLE CAN BUT LOOKS PRETTY GOOD IF I SAY SO MYSELF!!! SERIAL NUMBER IS JG 32518 WHICH MY RESEARCH TOLD ME IT IS A 1972 THEREFORE IT WILL BE SOLD WITH A BILL OF SALE ONLY AS ALABAMA ONLY REQUIRES TITLES ON 1973 AND NEWER VEHICLES OK NOW THE BAD. ITS A TRIUMPH AND IT LEAKS OIL!! THE CARB NEEDS TO BE TUNED AS ITS BEEN SITTING FOR A WHILE I CLEANED THE BOWL OUT FILLED THE OIL TANK AND SHE STARTED ON THE FIRST KICK BUT STILL NEEDS TO BE TUNED .THE HANDLE BARS WERE CUSTOM BUILT BY A FRIEND OF MINE BUT I WOULD REWELD THEM AS THE WELDS ARE SOLID BUT LUMPY, THE HEADER TIPS NEED TO BE SECURED TO THE PIPES AS THEY ARE JUST ON THERE FOR THE PICS THERE IS ONLY A REAR DRUM BRAKE THE FRONT RIM IS SET UP FOR A HARLEY DISK BRAKE BUT NEVER HAD ONE ON IT . IT HAS A DENT IN THE FRONT RIM BUT IT SEEMS TO RIDE FINE.THE REAR RIM HAS SCRATCHES AND CHIPS ON IT,TIRES ARE IN SERVICEABLE CONDITION, IT NEEDS AN OIL PRESSURE GAUGE (THE OLD SENDING UNIT IS PLUGGING THE HOLE BUT IS INOPORATIVE) IT NEEDS A TYPASIUM UNIT SO THE HEADLIGHT WILL SHINE BRIGHTER, IF YOU NOTICE IN THE PIC OF THE LEFT SIDE OF THE BIKE AHEAD OF THE TAILIGHT IS A BRACKET FOR A TRANS-DAPT OIL FILTER THAT TAKES A FORD SMALL BLOCK FILTER I NEEDED IT FOR ANOTHER PROJECT BUT THEY ARE FAIRLY CHEAP AND REALLY LOOKS AND WORKS GREAT .THE PAINT IS RATTLE CAN, AND AS IT LOOKS GOOD, IT HAS SMALL PECKS IN IT. THIS AINT NO SHOW BIKE BUT SHES A GOOD BASE FOR ONE. I WILL NOT SHIP THIS THIS IS A PICKUP ONLY SALE!!!!!
