Triumph Tiger description

This is a 1978 5 speed matching numbers Tiger.
I owned this bike for more than 30 years and have imported it into the USA with my possessions when I emigrated to the USA a few years ago.
A very reliable and fast bike.

The bike has a recent top end rebuild, rebore, new pistons, rings etc.
Recent front fork rebuild, new fluid etc.
Mikuni 32 mm Carburetor, upgrade.
Akront Aluminium rims
Dunlop K70 tires, both good.
Fiberglass side panels. (you can see the remains of a sticker on the right side panel, this is not damage to the panel).
Stock down pipes with short mega mufflers.
Single clock custom mount.
Tomasselli 1/4 quick pull throttle.
AP Racing front brake reservoir.
Aluminium fenders.
6' USA spec headlight.
Lucas taillight.
Stainless steel custom handlebars.

It has the original UK registration document and licence plate.
I will supply the USA customs clearance 7501 form, to confirm it has cleared into the USA and all fees were payed etc. 
Also a written statement of facts to confirm all.

Basically. like buying a bike from the UK but all the paperwork has been done.

I am happy to work with a shipper of your choice.

I hope you like it, good luck bidding!
