Triton motorcycle built by Dave Degans of Dresda motorcycles in 2000

The engine is a heavily modified 6T pre unit (Number 6T-46941) with a dating letter for the engine of 22. 11. 1953 from the science museum

The stove-enamelled frame (Number 18-103892 Dated 1962) is a modified Norton slim line frame with Dresda box section swinging arm including bearings shafts and anchor and Triton modifications on the front loop and Dresda modified headstock and Dresda yokes.

The forks are Triumph with external springs; the front wheel has an alloy rim with a stove enamelled twin leading shoe brake supplied by Dresda and stainless steel spokes and nipples.

The rear wheel is a stove enamelled Manx hub with stainless steel spokes and nipples.

The petrol tank is Fibreglass with a lining and the oil tank is Fibreglass.

Engine Specification was built for racing (see engine specification in photos)

Morgo 750 barrel and Morgo pistons with a squished gas flowed head with large valves and centre plug conversion. the original plugs position are still usable you are supposed to warm the engine up on the normal plug positions then switch to the centre plugs for racing

The crank is a one-part balanced crank with a Morgo high-pressure oil pump.

It has the oil pressure modification. Engine breather modification and the main shaft oil seal modification all done by Dresda.

The ignition system is the Lucas Rita electronic ignition with new coils.

The Carburettors are Amal 900 32mm concentrics.

It has the modified crank and crankcases to take a high output three phase alternator with a timing disk attached all done by Dresda.

The gearbox is a four-speed box with the main shaft modification done by Dresda.

The clutch is a Tony Hayward belt drive system with an Alloy anodised clutch basket with a new belt and plates two years ago.

All the engine plates and fixtures foot pegs etc are Alloy and supplied and fitted by Dresda

I have never used this Triton for racing. only road use and that was very little. It has only covered 996 miles since it was built and only 50 miles since 2011 mainly to the MOT station and back.

It comes with a matching fairing (see photos) I removed the fairing because I liked the bare look of the cafe racer more than the fairing type.

The wheels spokes and all springs have been sprayed with ACF50 anti-corrosion fluid every year before the cold sets in.

All the receipts for the build are included (see photos) and the total cost of the build not including buying the motorcycle was £8085 in 2000. it would cost a lot more to find and build such a high specification Triton today.

The machine starts and runs excellently and runs on lead free fuel the sound from the gold star silencers and that little twitter when the throttle is closed is lovely in the ears.

The Triton is Tax exempt and has an MOT but can come with 12 months

Any questions please mail me. if you wish to view my Triton please contact me.

The reserve is set to what i think is reasonable for the machine after looking around at other Triton`s for sale. it is advertised elsewhere and i reserve the right

Any offers invited
