5 year change of heart... LTT
Posted: Wed Oct 09, 2013 8:18 amFor the past 5 years I have been putting together a 1969 Triumph T120 twin carb Bonneville. This bike has been a pride and joy of mine for many years but my addiction to racing has taken over.
I am looking for a Pre 65', P1 500 or P1 Open eligible motorcycle. It does not have to be complete but the more that is there, the better. I would prefer a single but a twin would suffice as well. Building something up out of an old speedway motor or something along those lines would be a great project.
My Bike -
Customized hard tail frame with custom seat
Invader rear wheel with new Coker 500 tire
Brand New 650 motor - Sludge trap up re-build with all new everything (bearings, seals, journals, pistons, valves and guides.... you name it, its new)
Custom engraves cases, original from the 70's
Custom brass foot controls
Custom made shifter with foot and hand shift
Custom handle bars
New Boyer ignition
This list could go on all day...
You get the idea, if your interested let me know. I will send photos, I just don't have any on my computer right now.
It's a great bike, never been on the road.
Needs the rear fender mounted and the batter mounted but other than that it will go on the road.
If you have something interesting to trade please let me know. Obviously I have put pay more $$$$ into this thing than I will get out, but if I were to sell what I have now, I would be looking around the $4000 mark and $5000+ if or when I finish it off.
It really is a unique and beautiful bike.
I will try to get some photos up on here a.s.a.p.
I love this bike, but getting out on the track on an old British/European bike is the dream.
