1979 Triumph Bonneville

T140E

THIS IS A ONE OF A KIND CHOPPER THAT WAS BUILT FOR THE LEAD SINGER OF THE WELL KNOW HARDCORE BAND "CONVERGE" HE HAD CHOPPER ENTERPRISES BUILD IT FROM THE GROUND UP WHILE ON TOUR IN EUROPE IN 2003, THERE WAS ABSOLUTLY NOTHING SPARED ON THIS BIKE IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY YOU WILL SEE ALMOST EVERYWHERE A CUSTOM FEATURE, SUCH AS THE HAND MADE STAINLESS BOMB LOOKING OIL TANK, STAINLESS STEEL SPOKES LACED TO A BLACK 16" HOG REAR RIM, HAND MADE DIAMOND STITCHED BLOOD RED SOLO SEAT WITH 5" INCH SPRINGS FOR A LITTLE BOUNCE WHILE JAMMING ON THIS RIPPER! THIS BIKE WAS FEATURED IN THE HORSE BACKSTREET CHOPPER MAGAZINE JUST AFTER BUILD WAS FINISHED IT WAS CALLED "PRIME TIME" BECAUSE OF THE FLAT HOT ROD BLACK PRIMMER PAINT, CHECK OUT THE KILLER FEATURE ON IT THRU WWW.CHOPPERENTERPRISES.COM WEBSITE UNDER MEDIA, ALSO THERE IS A VIDEO OF THIS KILLER BIKE ON ON WWW.MYSPACE.COM/CHOPPERENTERPRISE WHEN THIS BIKE WAS FEATURED IT HAD A CUSTOM HAND CLUTCH SHIFT COMBO THAT TURNED OUT TO BE A LITTLE FUNKY IN TRAFFIC THEREFOR I REWORKED IT INTO A SUPER ONE OF A KIND FOOT CLUTCH HAND SHIFT MAKING IT A TRUE SUICIDE CLUTCH COMMON ON A LOT OF EARLY BOBBER AND CHOPPERS OF THE 50'S AND 60'S ERA,(NOTE: IF YOU ARE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH FOOT CLUTCH OPERATION AFTER YOU WIN I CAN EASILY TURN BIKE INTO THE STANDARD HAND CLUTCH FOOT SHIFT FOUND ON MOST MOTORCYCLES TODAY YOUR CHOICE.) UNFORTUNATLY DUE TO THE BANDS LEAD SINGERS BUSY TOUR SCEDULE THIS BIKE SAT IN THE FRONT OFFICE OF DEATH WISH RECORDS TILL THIS YEAR WITH LESS THEN 50 MILES ON BIKE, SO THEREFOR BEING TO BUSY FOR HIM TO RIDE IT, IT WAS TIME TO MOVE IT ALONG TO SOMEBODY WHO WILL TEAR UP THE ROAD ON THIS ONE OF A KIND TRIUMPH CHOPPER. WE STARTED WITH A MID 1960'S TRIUMPH FRAME WITH HARDTAIL ON REAR, SOME LIGHT MOLDING FOR THE PERIOD EFFECT AND USED A MUCH MORE DEPENDABLE AND POWERFUL TRIUMPH 750CC MOTOR, THE MOTOR HAS BEEN COMPLETELY GONE THRU STARTING AT SLUDGE TRAP IN CRANK, BEARINGS, WRIST PIN BUSHINGS, FRESH .040 OVER BORE WITH HEPOLITE PISTONS, HASTINGS RINGS,BONNEVILLE CAMS, BRONZE ROWE VALVE GUIDES, STAINLESS VALVES, BARNETT CLUTCHES FOR A GOOD PULL, BONNEVILLE DUAL CARB HEAD WHEN WE ORIGINALY BUILT WE SWITCHED OUT FOR A SINGLE CARBURATOR TIGER HEAD WITH A VERY COOL AND CUSTOM TURN OUT MANIFOLD STICKING THE REBUILT AMAL 930 CARBURATOR OUT THE SIDE AND FINISHING IT OFF WITH A VELOCITY STACK, IT RUNS GREAT WITH MORE POWER AS YOU ROLL ON THE THROTTLE! THE COMPLETE STOCK SPAGETTI LUCAS WIRING WAS REPLACED WITH A BRAND NEW SIMPLE 4 WIRE BATTERYLESS RECTIFIER/CAPACITOR UNIT TO KEEP WIRING TO A MINIMUM WHILE PROVIDING A SUPERIOR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OVER STOCK, ALSO A HARLEY DUAL FIRE COIL TO MINUMIZE WIRING, RED 8MM STAINLESS CORE TAYLOR PLUG WIRES , MINI CHOPPER 4"1/2 HI/LO HEADLIGHT UP FRONT WITH LIMP TAILLIGHT/NUMBER PLATE ON REAR, MEATY TIRES ALL AROUND, KEEPING TRUE TO THE PERIOD 60'S CHOPPER LOOK WE PUT A NEW TRADITIONAL LOOKING STYLE 16"INCH 5.00 TIRE ON REAR AND A 21"INCH NARROW AVON SPEEDMASTER UP FRONT MOUNTED ON A COMPLETELY CHROMED OUT HALLCRAFT MINI CHOPPER DRUM BRAKE (HILL HOLDER)FRONT WHEEL, BRAND NEW 2 INTO 1 CHROME STRAIGHT EXHAUST TO WAKE UP THE CAGED IGNORANT DRIVERS WHILE KEEPING THAT TRUE THUMPER SOUND THESE LIMEYS ARE FAMOUS FOR, THIS BIKE IS A BLAST TO RIDE! CHOPPER GAS TANK IS SLIM EARLY PAUGHCO TOP RAIL 2.5 GALLON, 12" INCH CHROME APE HANGER HANDLEBARS WITH 3" INCH CHROME RISERS GIVE THIS CHOPPER THE APPEARANCE OF AN EARLY DAVE MANN DRAWING CENTERFOLD, FINISHING THE FRONT OUT IS A SUPER NARROW CHOPPER ENTERPRISES 10" INCH OVER TWISTED SPRINGER FRONTEND FLAT BLACK REAR LEGS TO BLEND IN WITH FRAME AND TRIPLE CHROME TOP TREE, ROCKERS, HARDWARE,AXLE ASSEMBLY AND TWISTED FRONT LEGS SO WHEN SUN HITS IT LOOKS KILLER! BUT ALSO NOT BEING OVER DONE BY CHROME, REMEMBER THIS BIKE WAS BUILT WITH RIDING IN MIND WHETHER RAINING, CLOUDY WHATEVER AND LESS TIME CLEANING, IT IS A BLAST TO RIDE! AND REAL FAST! THE FRONT WHEEL EASILY PULLS UP WITH FOOT CLUTCH! LOOK NO FURTHER THIS CHOPPER IS PRICED LOW! THE OWNER SPENT OVER $8500.00 IN CASH TO BUILD, AND WITH LESS THEN 50 MILES ON BIKE ITS STILL BRAND NEW AND PRICED WAY LOW FOR A BUILD OF THIS TYPE! IT WAS PAINTED WITH HOT ROD URETHANE FLAT BLACK PAINT TO LOOK LIKE PRIMMER BUT IT IS REAL PAINT, THERE IS SOME SMALL IMPERFECTIONS ON PAINT HERE AND THERE FROM BEING IN FRONT STUDIO/OFFICE NOTHING MAJOR BUT I WANTED TO POINT OUT. DONT BE CAUGHT WITHOUT A BIKE THIS SUMMER! GAS PRICES! THIS BIKE IN NOT YOUR TYPICAL BOLT TOGETHER CHOPPER YOU FIND ELSEWHERE ON THE INTERNET ITS A ONE OFF CUSTOM CHOPPER,LOOK CLOSELY BEYOND THE HOT ROD PAINT, IF YOU WANT TO TURN IT INTO A SHOW BIKE FINISH YOU CAN PAINT A COLOR YOU LIKE, I THINK IT LOOKS KILLER, SIMPLE AND CLEAN THIS WAY. THIS BIKE NEEDS ABSOLUTLY NOTHING JUST A RIDER. IT IS ANOTHER 1 TO 3 KICKER, STARTS REAL EASY. P.S- PLEASE NOTE BIKE IS REGISTERED IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, NEW HAMPSHIRE DONT ISSUE OLDER VEHICLES TITLES SO IF YOU LIVE IN A TITLE STATE A REGISTRATION IS ALL YOU NEED FROM A NON TITLE STATE, THIS MOTORCYCLE COMES WITH A CURRENT DMV REGISTRATION WHICH WILL BE TURNED OVER IN NEW OWNERS NAME UPON CLEARING OF FULL PAYMENT FOR EASE OF TITLING OR REGISTERING IN YOUR STATE. ALSO NOTE I USE WWW.HAULBIKES.COM MANY TIMES WITH GOOD LUCK THEY ARE FULLY INSURED AND I DRIVE ON NO CRATING AND YOU DRIVE OFF, ALSO THEY HAVE GREAT RATES!. IF YOUR OVERSEA'S GO TO WWW.MOVERQUEST.COM THERE YOU WILL FIND MANY TRANSPORTERS TO GET THE BIKE OVER SEA'S. THANKS AND GOOD LUCK!
