Never started no fluids added except fork oil. Will need to have fluids added battery installed idle set and timing set.

IMPORTANT: This is a 45 year-old vintage bike that deserves to be preserved by a mature collector who understandswhat service & maintenance are required to own a classic bike of this vintage. I will be as helpful as possible but I cannot serve as a full service shop from afar.

If you like – and if I can** – and at additional cost I will add fluids and install a battery. I may be able to set the idle and timing. HOWEVER I will not be responsible for bluing of the exhaust or any wear & tear test riding the motorcycle. In any case the mechanical parts which are new need to be gently broken in – as per factory recommendations. (**Please contact me before you bid if you must have this work done. I have two replaced hips and have great difficulty kick starting a motorcycle).

I want to disclose an error in the listing:

A fellow Triumph collector showed me that the front fender has the cable routing hole used in 1968. Not sure why - the original owner stated when I bought the bike that it came that way. He had the tank and fenders painted with Don Hutchinson paint to a beautiful finish - too nice to try to correct without a visible repair. Personally I would leave it as is...

The original set of photos did not show this...please see added photo. THANKS

NOTE: If you bid after thisinformation is posted you acknowledge and accept the change.
