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.

Glen Richards back with Embassy Racing

Wed, 27 Oct 2010

One of the unsung heroes of the BSB paddock over the past few seasons, has to be 2010 Superstock 1000 runner up Glen Richards. A nasty tumble in at the Brands Hatch opener lead to four DNFs, but once back on track he pushed the dominant BMWs hard, finishing on the podium eight times. While many were trading their grannies to fund new S1000RRs, Richards kept the faith and rode the wheels off his Padgett’s Honda Fireblade.

What’s Old Is New Again – Video

Mon, 14 Oct 2013

There’s something distinctly cool about old British motorcycles. From the wire wheels, the minimal bodywork, and the exposed engines which give off a thunderous bark, I’ve always loved looking at old Triumphs, BSAs and the like from the 60s.  I’ve never owned one though. The reason is simple: old British bikes are needy little maintenance machines notorious for the odd oil leak.
