1968 TRIUMPH TROPHY 500 HIGH PIPE. I BOUGHT THIS BIKE LAST FALL AND KNOW THE TWO PREVIOUS OWNERS THAT HAD IT SINCE THE 1980'S. THE LAST OWNER DID A COMPLETE RESTORATION ON IT AND THEN ENDED UP HAVING TO SELL IT. I HAVE RIDEN IT A FEW HUNDRED TROUBLE FREE MILES AND IT RUNS AND RIDES GREAT. THE RESTORATION IS NOT A SHOW QUALITY RESTORATION BUT IS EXTREMELY NICE. FANTASTIC PAINT AND FINISHES. ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION WERE PROFESSIONALLY REBUILT. THE ONLY FLAWS THAT I CAN REALLY POINT OUT ARE THAT THE RIMS DO HAVE SOME MINOR CHROME LOSS AND SMALL RUST PITS, TRIP METER ON ODOMETER DOESN'T RESET, SPEEDO AND ODOMETER DO WORK FINE THOUGH. AND THE TRANSMISSION CASE IS CRACKED WHERE THE CHAIN BROKE AND GOT BALLED UP IN THE SPROCKET COVER. I HAVE SHOWN A PICTURE OF THAT CRACK. IT DOESN'T LEAK OUT OF THAT CRACK AND DOESN'T COMPROMISE THE INTEGRITY OF THE CASTING. I HAVE A CHAIN GUARD FOR IT BUT I REMOVED IT BECAUSE IT RATTLED AND I'M NOT REAL SURE IT IS THE CORRECT ONE BUT WILL BE INCLUDED WITH THE BIKE. I HAVE A CLEAR TITLE IN MY NAME AND IS CURRENTLY REGISTERED AND LICENSED. PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING. I WILL ASSIST IN SHIPPING AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE BUT IT WILL BE UP TO THE NEW OWNER TO COORDINATE THE TRANSPORT COMPANY AND PICK UP.
