Triumph Bonneville description

I have a 1965 Triumph Bonneville In decent 90% original condition. original 6 volt electrics. everything is working and in decent running condition. The mileage on odometer reads 17,377. and I believe this to be correct. The front fender is incorrect as is the taillight although it still has the lucas 564 lense. Fuel tank needed a good cleaning but is in great solid condition, as did the original 389/203 monobloc carbs. new 6n6 battery is a little small for battery box and has a custom hold down witch is pretty decent, new petcocks, and I put some new fork gaiters on to clean things up. seat should be gray top but  was replaced by previous owner and is in great condition and is correct for 67 thru 70 I do believe so could be sold or saved for that other project. No center stand unfortunately but are easily found right here on e-bay. Both spark plug holes have heli-coil or other thread inserts. Don't know who did that job .Tires are good. front K-70 made in great Britain with no dry rot and great tread rear is Kenda mirage g/t 4.25-18. in great shape also. chrome had some light surface rust but cleaned up nice but still shows some pitting, easily kept clean, not perfect. headlight shell is nice but very light pitting shows. looks like it popped a chain once came up through case, check picture.  starts right up with no chokes but spits through carbs a bit. runs  decent when warm and really cracks on when given the gas. drips a spot of oil the size of a quarter after riding it a couple miles.  Really hate to see this one go. Check out the pictures. Still needs some cleaning and sprucing but is a real good start on building that concourse 65. Clean Massachusetts title. Have some receipts for parts going back to 1987 or so from Hutchinson cycle. Ask any questions or For more info call 860-457-2018 Randy.   Shipping is sole responsibility of buyer. I will hold bike as long as it is paid for a reasonable amount of time for shipping arrangements, etc. and will help with loading. Payment can be made in cash in person, or bank check  this is a 50 year old motorcycle and is sold as is, where is with no warranties whatsoever

New: Venhill 888 fast-action twistgrips

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

CONTROL specialist Venhill has launched its new 888 range of bike-specific fast action twistgrips.  Supplied complete with the company's top of the range Featherlight cables, the kits are designed for a straightforward replacement of the factory-fitted equipment.  Bike-specific kits are now available for the Honda CBR600F, Kawasaki ZX-6R/ZX-10R, Suzuki GSX-R600/750, Triumph 675 Daytona and Yamaha R1/R6, among others, with prices from £105. Here's Venhill's description of the new product: "Manufactured with a robust CNC machined alloy body, the 888 fast action twistgrip provides a choice of two settings and is supplied with two rotors so that riders can select the throttle action that best suits the riding conditions.  Settings can be changed swiftly by undoing the two set screws securing the throttle body and changing the rotor. On the fastest setting there is 80° of rotation, (taking up 36mm of the cable), which is typically 45% faster than 'standard' throttles.
