Triumph Bonneville description


1971 T120R project bike.  I bought this bike 3 years ago as a basket case.  I was able to reassemble it and get it to running condition.  There are many things that still need to be done in order to get this bike on the road.  If you are looking to finish a project this might be an option.

The Good:
Cylinders honed and cross hatched
New rings
Valves ground and lapped
New seals where accessible without spitting the case
New gaskets throughout
Boyer electronic ignition
Bandlands electronic control module for turn signals, brake lights and hazards 
New Shinko 130 white wall rear tire 
New Avon 100 white wall front tire
New all new cables
Custom machined brass kickstand
Custom machined brass kick start pedal
Custom house of kolor dark grey frame 
Custom house of kolor silver grey tank and rear fender
Lots of new small parts that would take days to list.

The Bad:
No TITLE.  This bike hasn't been on the road for at least 15 years
I didn't replace the valve guides.  A mistake on my part the engine smokes for about 10 seconds after start
 Carbs need to be adjusted.  With carb tickling it starts right away but dies, usually takes about 4 starts to stay running.  The Amal carbs do not have the choke slides installed.
It marks its spot while sitting (only 2-4 drops at most)
The front fender is NOT a Triumph fender.  It looks stupid but I had to have it for a preliminary DOT inspection.  It needs to be replaced.
Small dings in the tank and rear fender that could or should be taken out if you are looking for a show quality finish.
I just broke the handlebar riser on the right side while pushing the bike around the garage for pictures.  They are selling for about $20 on ebay.


Most of the bike has brass detailing (Brass break and clutch levers, exhaust tips, mirrors, exhaust clamps, kick stand, kick pedal, seat springs, oil and gas lines)
 

I have this bike to the point where it is almost ready to get a title.  Depending on the state you live the process is either very easy or very hard.  Unfortunately for me, Wisconsin is a very hard state.  I did everything necessary to get a title only to find out I need a $5000 surety bond!  I'm giving up on this project.


If you are interested in a Triumph project that will require some work this might be a bike for you.  If you are looking for a show quality classic Triumph in perfect condition ready to ride the second it hits your doorstep for a very cheap price please keep looking.  This is not the bike for you.  


I will help in any way I can but shipping is your responsibility.


This is a No Reserve Auction.  So if you bid expect to win, if you win I expect you to pay.  A no-refundable deposit of $500 through pay pall within 48 hours and the balance is due when the bike is picked up.

New Stuff: Bridgestone Battlax Racing R10s

...stickier than a Weatherspoons floor on a Friday night. Well that’s not exactly an official Bridgestone technical term but no matter which way you look at it the brand new Battlax Racing R10 tyre is a ‘Road legal’ Supersport/Superstock race tyre. It’s used as the control tyre for the Aprillia RRV450 race series.

2014 Triumph America Horizon Revealed in CARB Documentation

Mon, 18 Mar 2013

New documents released by the California Air Resources Board reveal the existence of a new model from Triumph to be called the America Horizon for the 2014 model year. As its name implies, the 2014 Triumph America Horizon will likely be based on the existing Triumph America (the 2012 America is pictured above with touring accessories as an illustration.) The CARB documents confirm it will use the same 865cc parallel-Twin engine as the America as well as the Bonneville, Scrambler, Thruxton and the Speedmaster. We predict a claimed output of 60hp at 6800rpm and 53 ft-lb.
