You are bidding on a 1971 Triumph 650 Bonneville which has been converted over to a hardtail bobber in the classic sense.The bike has been gone through bottom to top,and end to end.Its now ready to put some miles on it,and is really fun to ride.Ready for those local bike nights,or cruising down the boulevard.Here are the details: I purchased the bike from the owner of Devil's Hand Productions last year,who was building it to highlight his custom paint work at shows & events.At that time,he was funding a new paint booth,and so I ended up with it.Check out his website to see his work,as you wont be disappointed. He had the hardtail rear frame jigged & welded up by a local shop that specializes in that work,and it tracks true.The original forward portion was retained,and the oil reservoir is in the upper frame backbone.The copper flake finish really stands out,especially in the sun.The gas tank & rear fender are finished in a bright blue flake finish,along with a bright white stripe down the top of the gas tank that really stands out-Must see it in person to appreciate it!I had the inside of the gas tank professionally sealed by Elizabeth Radiator to be on the safe side,and brand new petcocks with metal fittings are used on the gas lines.The rear fender was internally braced by the previous owner,and I also had a custom rear fender bracket fabricated in stainless steel,and then highly polished.The motor mounts are custom ribbed polished aluminum,and all motor mount bolts are brand new.The seat is from Biltwel,and the coil springs are matching copper flake.Handlebars are drag style with risers for a comfortable reach,along with the Triumph branded footpeg rubbers.I do have the original front fender for the bike,although it was never refinished to match,but the winning bidder can have it if they want. The motor was rebuilt from the bottom end up to the base gasket by the previous owner,and I had the top end redone by a local shop to .030 over,with new pistons & rings fitted,along with a clean bore.The bottom end was rechecked,and everything came back as within spec.The valvework was done by Wes White at Four Aces Cycle,and all work was performed correctly.A set of Webco "Starburst" rocker box caps top off the motor.All seals & gaskets were replaced at rebuild.The Mikuni carbs were also rebuilt at this time,and also synced to the motor with new "pancake" style filters.Brand new engine breathing system with one way check valve & filter was also installed to prevent "burping oil" all over the motor.The Joe Hunt mag was also setup correctly,and the bike was given its initial run on a Dyno to properly get everything setup correctly.Bike starts up on first or second kick when cold,and on first kick when warmed up. All ignition & electronics are handled by a brand new Joe Hunt magneto.There is no battery,so both the NOS Bates headlight and 1920s style glass "STOP" taillight work only when the bike is running.There is an ignition kill switch on the handlebar tied into the magneto also.Levers & grips are brand new,as are the drag style handlebars & risers. The beautiful 2 into 1 exhaust was sourced from Lowbrow Customs,and built in the UK-Sounds great too!A p-bracket was added to keep it tight,and a deflector was placed at the frame to protect the paint.Also new spark plugs & clear spark plug leads were installed during the rebuild. The wheels & hubs are original to the bike,and I would rate them an 8 out of 10 as far as the condition.Nice,but not mint.Brand new period correct tires & tubes.Front brake cable,clutch cable,speedo cable are new,as is the rear brake rod.The Smiths speedo is period correct,but not the original one.Front fork legs have been polished,and I also have a brand new set of Progressive Suspension fork springs,and new seals that will go with the bike.New sprockets front & rear,as well as the chain. Overall,a really cool bike,thats ready to roll,and a real head turner.Please contact me with any questions,as all sales are final.Make sure that your wife/girlfriend/mistress/kids & dogs are all good with you hitting the "Buy it Now" button before you do.I will also include a hard copy factory shop manual for reference.A $250 Paypal down payment is due within 48 hrs,and the full balance within 7 days.The bike can sit for up to 2 weeks if needed,but full payment is due within the 7 days.I can also give you the name of the shipper I use if needed,as he is reasonable & professional.
