Location:
Metairie, LA
Description:
1968 Triumph Bonneville â Fully Restored in 2010. All OEM parts were used when replaced. I am only the second owner of this bike. This bike is the best year and the best color (in my opinion!) of any Bonneville. This bike runs strong. It does not need any work. It is good to go. It is not a âjust needs a tune upâ or âits fully restored but I never ride itâ type bike. This is the real thing. Bike has 17,149 miles currently. It has spent most of its time wrapped up in the back of my garage.Many many hours have been spent restoring this bike and a small fortune in money.Matching engine and frame numbersThe engine has been fully overhauled and replaced all serviceable parts including bearings, sludge trap and crank screw.New bearings and seals were installed throughout the bike including engine, gearbox, frame and wheels.Swing arm bushes have been replaced.Fork parts have all been replaced including progressive springs.New Hagon rear shocks have been fitted.Oil pump was replaced.New pistons and rings installed and cylinder re-bored.A new original exhaust system was installed.The carburetors are new Amal 930s. All the cables and fittings, cover sleeves and washable intake filters for the carbs are new. In addition, all controls on the handlebars are new including electrics.New Reynolds chain and new sprockets installedA complete new clutch was installedNew wheel rims and spokes were installed from Buchanan.The frame was powder coated and all the black sheet metal parts.New brake pads installed.New seat cover installed.All CEI fasteners were replaced with stainless steel versions from England and all other non-CEI fasteners that could be converted to stainless steel imperial versions were.The fuel tank and side panels were professionally painted in the correct 1968 colors.The inside of the tank has been carefully treated with POR 15 protection system. New knee pads, petcocks and new fuel lines and clamps were installed.All transfers (decals) were appliedThe electrical system is upgraded with single point ground using a new wiring harness.New SPARX 3-Phase charging system installed: Stator, Rotor, Regulator/RectifierNew SPARX Ignition system installed including 5k plug caps, ignition wires, plugs etc.If I have not mentioned something in the above list then the part is probably original (e.g. speedo, tachometer, headlight, taillight etc.)Tires look new and have 99% tread but really should be replaced due to ageAll oils (engine, gearbox, primary, fork) have been properly drained and replaced with correct Castrol versions in August 2022.In addition to all this, I will throw a box of spare parts, a timing gun, and maintenance DVDs.
