Offered for your consideration is this Custom 1974 Triumph Trident T150V 750cc 5-Speed. Being sold with a Bill Of Sale, original title has been lost. Frame and Engine Numbers match. Sitting since 1993, after cleaning the Carbs and a new Battery the bike starts easily and runs. I have not ridden it only started it from which I can establish the right hand exhaust spigot is leaking due to worn threads, this can be rectified with an oversize Spigot or the Head can be removed for proper machining. At 21K I would expect the engine can use an overhaul but as it sits it seems to be oil tight and free from smoke. Mileage is now 21542 which appears to be genuine, but I cannot guarantee this. Appears to have been mildly customized back in the 1970's with a 3 into 1 Exhaust, 16" Rear Dunlop Rim, king queen Seat, highway pegs, custom paint and lashings of extra chrome. It seems to have been done very well and has survived quite nicely. Chrome is for the most part still bright with just small areas of some pitting or corrosion. The front wheel spokes have not lasted as well as the rest of the plating. The seat cover has a couple of small tears although the foam is still ok. An interesting seat looks to be a genuine custom accessory built on the original pan. The engine has been upgraded to run an Electronic Ignition which helps these triples run very nicely. Tires will need replacing and a complete service and safety check will be needed before going out on the road. Forks and rear suspension appear good. All lighting, custom turn signals and horn are functioning as are the handlebar switches, also comes with a Cigarette Lighter and Cruse Control. Please take the time to study the pictures below as these show the bike very clearly.
