Triumph Trident description

I will probably regret it but it time to thin a herd a bit as I have a bad back and don't ride much anymore so I will start with my 74 Triple. Frame and engine numbers match.  About 3 years ago I had the cylinders honed with new rings and the top end gone through. It was painted in the last 3 years along with new chain, fork seals, decals, brake hoses, rebuilt caliper and master cylinder, Tri-Spark ignition (no points) , Venhill clutch cable, plug wires etc. Seat is original as are the Dunlop K81 TT100 tires which are not dry rotted . I wouldn't drive them on the highway just in case but the original crowd make like them. I just put some fresh gas in it and it starts fine. One of the issues with the crappy gas these days is that the idle passages get gummed up and you have you have to do the .016 drill bit thing since the gas is such crap. It's on a clean NY title. I'm located in Charlotte , if you want a NC title in my name it will cost you $100 if memory serves me correctly.
This bike is almost 40 years old and is sold as-is and where-is with no warranty expressed or implied. Seriously, if you are bidding on this bike you know what you are buying. Shipping arrangements are the responsibility of the seller and I will hold the bike for a reasonable period of time once paid for.
Note that I replaced the left side fuel line today after the old one started leaking so it won't match what's in the pictures.

Recall for 2011 Triumph Tiger 800, 800XC Accessory Center Stands

Mon, 29 Aug 2011

Triumph is recalling accessory center stands for the 2011 Tiger 800 and Tiger 800XC because of a defective return spring. According to documents released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the return springs on the  accessory center stand for the Triumph Tiger 800 and 800XC may not always return to its original length, potentially leading to a loose center stand and a fracture in the spring wire. Riders may detect a rattling sound from the loose stand and in the case of a fractured spring, a scraping sound caused by the center stand dragging along the road.
