Description

Selling a 1977 Triumph Bonneville 750 with sidecar. I purchased this motorcycle in 2012 from a friend of mine to restore. The process took quite a bit longer than expected and the bike required a little more TLC to get it back to beautiful than I expected. It has a clean title with about 6700 original miles.

The list of what was done:

  • Stripped and powdercoated the frame
  • New paint on the tank and sidecar. The tank didn't need any bondo and the sidecar had an entire gelcoat placed on top of the fiberglass after it was sanded to ensure that no cracks would develop.
  • Motor was removed and completely rebuilt. The work was performed by Roger at the Bonneville Shop in Englewood, olorado. He is an expert on these bikes and has been running his shop and parts sales for many years. Everyone I asked recommended him. The motor work cost about $4,000.
  • Rebuilt rear master cylinder
  • New sprocket on rear wheel
  • New (OEM) Tachometer as the glass on the old one was cracked.
  • New seat
  • New Handlebars
  • New wiring harness (not original but a very high quality replica).
  • New turnsignal indicator on left handlebar.
  • New mirror
  • New alternator
  • New tires (they now have about 50 miles on them)
  • Replaced the old aftermarket carburetors with OEM Amal to match.
  • New kickstart lever return spring.
  • Front and rear fenders were re-chromed at Denver Chrome Plating
  • New headers and exhaust pipes.
  • Overall the bike is in great condition. The sale of this bike is forced because I need to put a little work into my house and I can't have both. The bike will start on the second kick (most of the time it takes just one). The bike turns heads everywhere it goes and runs great.

    What it needs:

  • Reflector or tail lamp for the sidecar. The old one was broken during removal and honestly wasn't in great condition
  • Reflector on the side of the sidecar (small orange one).
  • Sidecar seat needs to be recovered at some point. There is a small tear on the bottom of the seat and the cover isn't destroyed, ut to be "perfect" it should be considered.
  • Upper license plate bracket. They are readily available andThe Bonneville Shopsells them I just haven't had the time to order one and put it on.
  • A New loving home.
  • Overall the cost of the restoration (excluding my time)was about $9,800 including the original price of the bike and I have receipts which will go with it to substantiate this. Additionally the auction includes original parts manuals, iagrams, ooks and other documentation for maintenance. I also have a handful of spare parts which will go if the purchaser would like them (not sure of the quantity or exact specifics but I can provide more detail if requested). I am more than happy to answer any questions either through ebay or by phone. I can provide my contact information if requested through ebay. I am happy to face time with potential purchasers if they would like to hear the bike run. This project has hundreds of hours in it and I would really like to find it a place where it would be appreciated and ridden. The motorcycle has a clean Colorado title and is currently registered.

    I will not consider international purchases. Shipping is the responsibility of the purchaser, owever I would be happy to help a carrier load but I would need to be persuaded to crate for shipment. The bike is sold as-is, here-is so please ask questions before purchasing.
