Triumph Trophy description

It's my opinion that only a handful of collectors are looking for concours restored bikes costing upwards of $15,000.  Most of us in the Triumph age demographic of 45 to 65 are looking for a handsome and reliable Sunday driver. So, consider this one.
I've sold most of my collection and down to the last few.  I bought this numbers matching Trophy a few years ago from a gent who started the restoration and ran out of energy or money or both.  The bike was completely disassembled and the motor was redone, so he said.  I did not split the cases to verify exactly what was done however, I did pull the head and found new pistons and a fresh valve grind so I made the assumption, based on what I saw, that it was done right.  No instruments were with the bike so mileage is unknown. The frame and tins were professionally painted.  The tank is a new reproduction.  I then went to my inventory to upgrade and/or add items:  Seat is Birtish Wassell; fenders are original stainless in very nice condition; rims are Jones and Dunlop with some light pitting, but very presentable; lights are original with Lucas lamp and lens; harness is new British cloth reproduction; exhaust is used but quite nice with proper crossover and I believe it to be original.  (As a "C" model, it should have high pipes but I couldn't see spending another $600-$800 to source the correct exhaust which just drives up my cost and your price.)  I prefer to use stainless fasteners wherever I can.  I added a tach drive as I like the look of both instruments mounted.  Gauges are genuine Smiths completely refurbished.  New handlebars, throttle, levers, cables, grips and rubbers all around.  It's now running an electronic rectifier and a Pazon ignition.  Comes with center stand and side stand which both work beautifully. Don't need the wood block.
You'll be getting a restored and very desirable TR6C at less than half the above referenced cost.  I timed it and set the carb by ear.  Starts easily and idles properly but you'll need to re-torque and tweak the tune as you sort it out and run it in.  It's fresh with only a few test miles.  Signed Michigan title.

2013 Triumph Trophy SE Recalled for Center Stand Problem

Thu, 02 Jan 2014

Triumph is recalling 2013 Trophy SE models because of a risk of fracture in its center stand mount. According to documents released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the left side center stand lug may fracture, reducing the amount of weight the stand can support. Triumph discovered the problem during a quality control audit.

Above is some fantastic home movie footage of Buddy Holly and the Crickets messing around on motorbikes in 1958. The story behind the bikes in the video starts after Buddy Holly, Joe Mauldin and Jerry Allison came back from a successful tour in 1958, flush with cash. The trio decided to spend their rock and roll dollars on brand new motorcycles.
