Triumph Trophy description

I am selling a project that i just do not have time or space to finish. I bought it as a 58 triumph but after checking vin it shows it is a 56 TR6 i believe. Title i submitted and have says 58. Being this old they will let you call it anything. The vin is on frame where it belongs, had to have my wife find it as it is under paint on frame, engine number matches but trans is different number. Not uncommon due to age. I have would say 95 % of parts to complete and almost all is new or part ordered from UK. It was just painted two months ago Candy Brandy Wine by House of Colors. I also have a coffin tank that goes with the bike that is painted as well. The tank shown in photo is an original triumph tank and badges. Badges and tank rack were powder coated black. Wheels are Gloss black powder coat with new Coker tire vintage white walls. Protective blue coating still on them. Engine has been rebuilt, head was cracked so had professionally re-welded and  new 60s valves installed with new seats etc. New amal Carb. I have started and ran engine but is leaking from a cross over tube that goes head to head. Tube was powder coated and it is just not working. Got tired of putting money into so ii stopped there. Things that need to be done. Order new cross over tube and nuts, Install chain "have", Kick start skips sometimes sending leg to the ground but if find sweet spot ok just need to pull cover on trans and put in new gear. Finish making oil lines just set up to get running, need little finishing work. Set up stops on forks or add new stops so does not hit tank when turning. Finish setting brakes, should have all components to it just need to dial in when chain set etc. Then ready to ride, there may be few things i missed. I have video of me starting and running at my shop. Also among new things is a new Hunt Magneto. 

Hate to let it go but i am just not getting it done.  

One of a kind bike, wont loose value over time unless abused. Think could easily be show winner.

Questions feel free to ask.

Mon, 13 Oct 2014

This past weekend at the Barber Vintage Festival, Triumph took the wraps off a special edition Thruxton that was created with the famed Ace Café London. Harkening back to one of the lynchpins of the British café racer movement of the 1960s, the Thruxton Ace Café Special Edition molds the profile of the classic Triumph racer of the era to the thoroughly modern Thruxton.

R&G Drop proof Triumph Speed Triple

Mon, 16 May 2011

Over the years R&G have been the brand known for being the originators of crash protecting bolt-ons. I asked them for a stack of products to fit to the 2011 Speed Triple to see what difference they make. The thing about modern day sports tyres is they offer huge grip when fully leant over, but we are often too nervous to make the most of this, simply because the British road surfaces are changeable and largely unpredictable.

It was less than a month ago that Triumph’s 500,000th production motorcycle, a special Speed Triple with commemorative paint job, rolled off the line. World-famous auction house, Bonhams, has recently announced that it will put the special Trumpet on the auction block on July 1, 2011, during the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Comedian Ross Noble has completed his Sit Down Tour of Great Britain with the milestone Triumph, and now the bike is ready to raise money for Riders for Health charity.
