Vehicle Detail

I've owned this bike for over 10 years but never got a chance to ride it as much as it deserves. After sitting for a few years, I had Rob Gibson at British King Tiger (britishkingtiger.com) go over it and make sure all fluids were changed, new battery, and ensure it was ready to be reliably enjoyed by the next owner (as reliable as a 46 year old motorcycle can be). This service was completed on 04/10/15 and its ran flawlessly in the few days and miles I've been able to put on it. History:The frame is NOT a Triumph frame and the tank is from a Triumph Tiger. The only piece of the bike that matches the title is the engine and the true miles of the engine is unknown. When I bought the bike it had a Harley Davidson fuel tank and an old school Chopper seat. I road it like that for a short time until I found a clean Tiger tank and a solo seat to use instead. After a year of riding it like that, I got tired of adjusting the duel carbs. I had Rob Gibson at British King Tiger completely tear the bike down. It was cleaned up, repainted, and rebuilt. I switched to a single carb at that time too. After a year or two of riding it, a small crack where the back of the fuel tank is bolted to the frame appeared causing a small fuel leak. I stopped riding the bike and it sat in my garage for a few years. I decided to sell the bike last year but knew no one would buy a non-running motorcycle with a crack in the fuel tank. I took the bike back to Rob Gibson and had him fix the fuel tank and completely go over it, change all fluids.
