Triumph Other description

1948 Triumph 5T  2 owner bike me and original owner that brought it into US in April 1948. Original 1948 title state of NJ was dated April 14, 1948 cost $1.50 to transfer back then.  This bike only has 1207 miles on odometer and it works fine had 1204 when I got it rode 3 miles at National Triumph Rally in June.I have copy of original title but was purchased from estate and lawyer made me transfer to my name. This bike is the most original early Triumph we have ever seen every nut and bolt is as was when came from factory. Had to put new front tire on old one was dry rotted beyond use , grips are new old ones rotted off, plug wires new rubber on old ones were rotted and shorting out.  Has original Lodge spark plugs in it everything else is 100 % as it came from the Triumph factory in 1948. Inside of fuel tank was clean sat in garage with no fuel. Carb was clean, clutch freed up on 3rd kick . Runs and shifts like new has 60lbs of oil pressure on gauge when running. All original paint and chrome. Even the original Lucas battery is still in bike the lead wires were leaded into terminals no  bolts or eyelets. This is a chance for a collector to have probably the most original early 5T you will ever find. The only thing it needs is a new wire harness all the rubber insulation is dry rotted but I do not want to change it runs fine with out harness working  it runs on magneto. Any questions call 856-447-5090 dont miss this once in life time chance

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.
