Triumph Bonneville description
Up for sale is my fully restored, numbers matching 1970 Bonneville. The top end was just redone, due to a circlip failure, with a break-in of just eighty- five easy neighborhood miles on it. I bought and built this as a weekend rider but, now, have decided to downsize. ENGINE: Rebuilt with Carrillo Rods, new rod bearings, left crank roller bearing, bored cylinder head, .020 forged piston kit, stainless intake valves and crank sludge tube. Already had new springs, collars, clutch & primary chain, MORGO plunger oil pump & MAP oil filter, located under the seat. Installed 7 plate clutch. GEARBOX: New bearings & cam plate with a late model 5 speed. With the 7 plate clutch, it's the smoothest transmission that you'll ever find and almost eliminates the sticking clutch plate problem. FRAME: All black parts are powder coated. ELECTRICS: New 200 watt stator, Tympanium, Boyer ignition with dual outlet high voltage coil. New fabric covered wiring harness. FUEL: New BAP petcocks and AMAL PRENIUM 30mm carbs. WHEELS: New stainless rims and BUCHANAN stainless spokes and nipples. Double-sealed wheel bearings. Correct DUNLOP K70 tires. SUSPENSION: Rear; new swing arm bushings and Progressive Suspension shocks. Front; New chrome tubes, bushings, seals, gaters, springs and seal retainers. NEW: Paint was mixed by Don Hutchinson and applied by Brent Budgor to exact factory specs. Only chip on bike is on the rear fender, see picture. Seat, cables, rear chain, sprockets, maintenance-free battery, new OEM amber reflectors with housings, reproduction Horns with handlebar switch and rebuilt Smith gauges. **If possible,I encourage you to inspect and hear the bike run at my home, BEFORE, the end of the auction. I'm not a mechanic but will do my best to quickly answer all questions. USA SALES ONLY. Any shipping must be coordinated by the buyer. A $500 non-refundable deposit must be made within 24 hours and full payment within 7 days of the auction close. NO excuses. The bike WILL NOT be released until full payment has cleared your bank. Again, USA SALES ONLY. **I will include the original Owner's Handbook, Haynes manual, service manual, two restoration books, extra oil filters and spark plugs and two different set of tank knee pads. I didn't want to use the knee pads because I didn't have the heart to cover up the beautiful paint job. **Please know that my reserve is considerably below the prices of the last 70 Bonnevilles, of this quality, recently sold on Ebay. Thank you and good luck. |

Filling a void with an RD350LC
Mon, 29 Jul 2013Last winter I managed to fill a void in my life when I stumbled on a very reasonably priced Yamaha RD350LC. It was a tad scruffy, had the wrong exhausts but most importantly it was blue and white with all numbers matching. I had the usual euphoria when the deal was done but I underestimated how much pleasure this particular purchase would continue to deliver another eight months down the line. The difference with this old bike is, instead of just taking it for the occasional ride I was talked into doing a full nut and bolt restoration. Having never taking a bike apart completely before, initially it was quite daunting but I soon found the RD is easy to work on so it turned into a truly satisfying experience. I’ve had some help from LC enthusiasts with the rebuild, however, the stripping, sourcing and organising was a total labour of love. And call me sad but it has made me bond with this bike like no other which only adds to the feel good factor. The bike cost £1800 and I’ve spent around £1000 but I reckon my mint Elsie is now worth a fair bit more. I fancy rejuvenating a Fizzy next time but there’s lots of other cheap 70’s and 80’s winter projects out there so why not have a go yourself?
Speed Triple exhausts
Mon, 19 Apr 2010The Speed Triple sounds quite throaty with the standard pipes, on the overrun it pops and farts to its heart content but it could be louder. Also standard pipes are usually quite heavy, on the Triple they weigh 9.3kg!!! Triumphs preferred exhaust manufacture is Arrow and they offer side and under seat options as official Triumph accessories.
Triumph Hellfire Flat Tracker – Video
Fri, 27 Dec 2013The Triumph Bonneville is the popular choice when it comes to flat tracking, but maybe it’s time to rethink that decision. German Triumph dealer Motocorner thinks so, anyway. Their flat tracker of choice?
