Triumph TR6 description

 1957 Triumph TR6 project. I originally found this bike mostly incomplete, and have hung parts on it as they turned up. I'm not going to be able to restore it, and I need the space.
It is not a runner, but engine and gearbox are free.  Let's be clear, it needs a total restoration, and there is lots of work to do, not every item on it is in great shape.
On the plus side, it is close to complete, missing  the dynamo, engine plate covers, and gas tank supports, 1 tank badge, and possibly some small  things I have missed, but I believe all the custom fasteners are there. It has a Canadian ownership and matching numbers.
Here are some  issues I know of, but possibly not all.
Gas tank has welding on bottom, around rear mounting studs, pitting around filler and some minor dents, but I believe it to be solid, although, I would seal it to be sure.
Outer primary is in good shape, but was chromed at some point. Someone removed much of it, but still lots left.
Headlight needs hole cutting in bottom for QD plug.
The rear wheel is from a unit Triumph. You could use it, but I am including a hard to find pre unit  19" QD wheel. It's the wrong size rim, it s/b 18", but if you rebuild the wheel around the QD hub, it will be correct.
Rear fender is a "Made in England" repop, made on the same Equipment originally used by the factory. It looks fine.
This would be a perfect winter project for someone.

I will ship worldwide, delivery costs are the responsibility of the buyer, but I will do anything I can to assist, but please note, shipments to some countries require a custom made packing case from treated wood, and can be expensive. Payment is by bank transfer only within 3 days, or if you are picking it up, a $500 deposit by Paypal within 2 days, balance in cash on pickup.

Craig Vetter Grand Marshall for 2012 AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days

Tue, 22 May 2012

PICKERINGTON, Ohio — AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame member and noted designer Craig Vetter — whose contributions to motorcycling range from the iconic Windjammer fairings and the Triumph X-75 Hurricane to the Mystery Ship limited-production high-performance motorcycles and a number of high-profile motorcycle fuel-economy contests — will be honored as this year’s grand marshal at AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days featuring Rockers and Mods, July 20-22, at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio. Vetter has been a member of the American Motorcyclist Association and a designer since 1965, and his varied background gives him a unique alliance to both the Rockers and Mods motorcycle subcultures. His design projects over the years have involved café racers — the motorcycles of choice for Rockers — and scooters, which are favored by Mods.
