Selling on behalf of an elderly friend who does not have Ebay account. Bike is located in UK. but can be crated/shipped to Virginia Beach for $1600. Duncan bought this bike standard in 1992 with 22. 00 miles on [new speedo fitted during upgrade]. but he has so many vehicles. that he never used it! Frame number: XA16563 and Engine number: XA16563. It was in fantastic condition. so eventually in 1998. he decided to totally refresh it. but at the same time. make it into something special. He commisssioned PJT Dynamics [ex-Triumph racers]. in Beverley. Yorkshire to build a race bike for the street. Many ?1000's later. and 15 years on. Duncan went to collect the finished bike! It is stunning. but aged over 70 years old. Duncan is in no fit state to ride the bike. So here it is. Please study the pictures carefully. and ask any questions before bidding. Here is the information i have: Rearsets manufactured and fitted. Differential fork yokes fitted. Complete re-wire. Engine re-build to PJT specification. including main bearing conversion. trochoidal oil pump. twin plug cylinder heads with machined combustion chambers/ports/valves/guides/seats etc. Cylinder head bolt conversion. Barnett [kevlar] clutch conversion. PJT 400 profile cam. tappet block conversion. etc etc etc Suspension upgraded. Everything re-chromed or Nickel plated. All bearings checked or replaced. New exhaust. electronic ignition. coils. battery etc etc etc The bike runs perfectly. and sounds incredible. just like a period TT bike. It has been test ridden. and set up. and is ready to ride. Just a reminder. the bike is in the UK. but can be shipped to Virginia Beach for $1600. I believe there will also be a small fee to US Customs. but please look at their website. On Mar-05-15 at 15:33:30 PST. seller added the following information:The bike has the UK V5 document. the equivalent of a USA Title document. suitable for export/import purposes. It also has an MOT. which is the equivalent of the USA registration [roadworthiness].
