Clear

Offered for your consideration is this clean original and unrestored 1968 Triumph T120R Bonneville. This fine example of the iconic '68 Bonnie is being sold with a clear CA title and current registration. Frame and Engine Numbers match. Low mileage showing just over 5000 miles although the Speedometer was not working when I purchased the bike so cannot verify this as actual although it can be said that it is of low miles. What I can verify is that it is a fantastic bike. 1968 Is said by many to be the one of best of the Bonnevilles. Original Paint and plating on the Tanks and all Cycle parts. No touch ups. Very nice patina. Nut and bolt as standard, all original hardware. Chrome and Stainless all looks excellent. Original Dunlop Rims are excellent with original Spokes laced to hubs which still retail very nice paint. Fitted with Dunlop K70 Tires which are a couple of years old and are still perfect. All Lucas electrics which all function as they should, Ammeter shows a charge whilst running. Speedometer and Tachometer will both need to be overhauled. Seat offers a very nice profile and provides good comfort, no tears in the cover. All chrome on the bike shines brightly, exhaust and mufflers provide a splendid exhaust note. Original Amal Carbs with Points and Coil Ignition. Starts 1st kick, runs like a champ. Excellent handling with a strong twin leading shoe front brake. Improved Fork Damping came on the '68 models. Original Girling Shocks perform very well. There are 2 repairs I see visible, one to the front right tank mount and a perfect repair to a small crack at the base of the rear fender toward the front of the bike. Overall the motorcycle presents itself very nicely, Please take the time to study the 26 photographs below as these show the bike very clearly as does the you tube video which includes a good walk around at the end. Please email with any questions that you have. Located in Los Angeles. Buyer is responsible for all shipping charges and arrangements. I reserve the right to end the auction at any time.
