Description
This bike has been built by people that know what Classic Tritons are
And how Triumph Engines work
This bike runs like a dream
Not been sat in a garage for the past few years gathering dust - doesn't need commissioning it goes now
Original Norton featherbed (wideline) frame. the bike was originally a 500cc Norton. and then converted to a 650cc Triton in 1986. now the T110 engine rebuilt
It comes with the original period Number Plate with the genuine period buff log book. first registered in 1960
(this also comes with new log book and is classified for no tax or MOT).
I purchased the bike in 2011.
A classic bike without all the modern brake discs and suspension mods from a jap bike.
See the bike on page 10 of this July Classic Bike guide. (its not a 1957 as stated it is actually a 1960).
The engine was built by two engineers who advertise in Classic bike and are pretty well known. I then took the bike to Steve Blackwell. founder and Chairman of The Triton Owners Club (where I am also a member) Steve worked on it for a many months to put it back together modifying it. and upgrading everything as well as rewiring it and giving it the look it has now. which is pure classic Triton if you can call it that. as we all know they are a labour of love and are all different and personal.
The bike has been given an expensive engine overhaul new big ends and mains etc etc to compliment the new Morgo 750 Conversion. brand new Boyer electronic ignition system for easy first kick starting and an uprated Dynamo to give 12v lighting.
