1969 TRIUMPH TR6C VINTAGE CHOPPER BOBBER 650 BATES HARDTAIL PRE UNIT RIGID

I'M SELLING MY PERSONAL BIKE THAT I BUILT EARLIER THIS YEAR TO MAKE THE TRIP FROM PORTLAND, R TO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA FOR THIS YEARS BORN FREE SHOW. THE BIKE MADE THE 1200 MILE RIDE DOWN TO CALIFORNIA WITHOUT A SINGLE ISSUE!! I'VE PROBABLY PUT ANOTHER 600-800 MILES ON IT SINCE AND IT PERFORMS PERFECTLY EVERYTIME. PROBABLY THE MOST RELIABLE BIKE I'VE EVER HAD. THIS ISN'T A STANDARD EBAY OR CRAIGSLIST CHOPPER. THIS BIKE IS COMPLETELY CUSTOM BUILT WITH STYLE AND RELIABILITY IN MIND.

THE MOTOR WAS COMPLETELY TAKEN DOWN TO THE SPLIT CASES BY UNION MOTORCYCLE CLASSICS WHO REBUILD ALL MY STREET AND SHOW BIKE MOTORS. CRANK WAS BALANCED, LUDGE TRAP REPLACED AND EVERYTHING WAS REBUILT USING ONLY THE BEST PRODUCTS. REBUILT HEAD, OCKERS, ORED 20 OVER CYLINDERS, OMPLETELY NEW CLUTCH. NEW AMAL CARB. PERFECTLY WORKING VINTAGE CAST BODY JOE HUNT MAGNETO AND FINNED PRIMARY COVER TO TOP IT OFF.

FORKS ARE COMPLETELY REBUILT AND RECHROMED EARLY TRIUMPH PRE UNIT IN ONE YEAR ONLY UNIT TREES. NO KEY LOCK. NEW TUBES, USHINGS, ND BOLTS. NOS MCM FORK COVERS. CUSTOM HARD MOUNT P CLAMPS AND CUSTOMMADE VEE MANUFACTURING HANDLEBARS.

REAR WHEEL IS A COMPLETELY REBUILT AND RECHROMED HUB LACED TO A NEW 16" HARLEY RIM RUNNING AN NOS GOODYEAR SPEED GRIP AND CUSTOM AXLE SPACERS AND RECHROMED ADJUSTING HARDWARE.

FRAME IS THE DESIRABLE ONE YEAR ONLY 1970 WITH THE REMOVABLE FRONT MOTOR MOUNTS. REAR BOLT ON SECTION IS A CUSTOM SPEC HARDTAIL MADE BY THE FACTORY METAL WORKS.

GAS TANK IS A RARE 50'S MUSTANG SCOOTER TWO PIECE SPLIT TANK. I NARROWED THE TANK AND BUILT ALL NEW CUSTOM TABS AND CROSSOVERS.

OIL TANK IS A VINTAGE SANTEE AND ONE OF THE ONLY PIECES I DID NOT RECHROME. IT HAS NICE CHROME AND AN OLD PLAYBOY WATER SLIDE DECAL THAT I DIDN'T WANT TO RUIN. CUSTOM MOUNTS ON THE FRAME SEAT POST TO HOLD IT.

NOS WASSELL FENDER WITH CUSTOM MOUNTS MADE. HANDBUILT SISSY BAR AND TAILLIGHT BRACKET.

SOME PICTURES SHOW THE BIKE WITH A TORN BATES SOLO SEAT AND PAD. THOSE HAVE SINCE BEEN REPLACED WITH THE NICE VINTAGE ITALIAN SET SEEN IN THE OTHERS.

THIS IS A BIKE YOU CAN HONESTLY GET ON AND RIDE ANYWHERE. 21 TOOTH FRONT SPROCKET AND 43 TOOTH PRE UNIT REAR. WITH THE GEARING AND BALANCED CRANK THIS BIKE CRUISES PERFECTLY ON THE HIGHWAY WITH VERY LITTLE VIBRATION. A TRUE ONE OR TWO KICK BIKE THAT HAS NEVER FAILED ME IN THE 2000 MILES I'VE PUT ON IT. PROBABLY FORGETTING A FEW THINGS. YOU WON'T FIND A BETTER TRIUMPH CHOPPER.
