1969 Harman Triumph Bonneville Chopper

This chopper was originally converted from stock form in 1973 by the original owner. The chopper conversion consisted of replacing the original frame and fork with aftermarket ones built by legendary chopper builder John Harman. After sitting unused for 20 years, he chassis (frame, ork) and motor was rebuilt into the bike as it sitsnow back in 2012. I have been riding this motorcycle for 3 years now on a very regular basis without trouble or incident. It is reliable, retty quick due to light weight (only 350 lbs) and geared for in-town riding as well as highway speeds above 65mph.
The 1969 triumph Bonneville motor was completely rebuilt in 2012 from the main bearings up. Dual VM30 Mikuni carburators and a Boyer electronic ignition system were added for increased performance. The custom dual exhaust is specifically engineered to soak panties within a 100 yard radius. Engine number - ND 30660
The Frame and Fork were built by legendary chopper innovator John Harman from thin wall 4130 chromolly tubing. The frame has a 45 degree neck and the forks are 16" over stock. The forks have the rare "rabbit ears" style of handlebar. The frame is rare in the fact that Bill Holland (John Harmans old partner) believes that John had only made less that 5 Triumph chopper frames before his death. The fork was professionally (slightly) de-raked by Bill Holland for increased high-speed performance.
The wheels are a matched set of the ever hard to find Avenger mag wheels from the late 1970s. The rear is 15" with a US Royal Laredo tubless tire. The front is 21" "spool" style (no disk mounting boss) with an Avon MK2 speedmaster.
The voltage regulator, use block and main switch have been hidden in the fuel tank tunnel.
Other features include:-Rear hydraulic disk brake-Custom one-off motor mounts-Spare Boyer electronic ignition (stored on bike)-Wassle fender-Custom painted tank with cap and petcock relocated for increased fuel capacity. (flames courtesy of famous line-slayer Josh "lefty" Mullican)-Tombstone tail light-New battery and voltage regulator-Custom one-off seat and sissybar
This motorcycle is old and is not asthetically perfect. Many parts could use a re-chroming and the paint is worn and chipped in places. It is ridden and enjoyed on a daily basis and therefore will be sold "AS IS" with the buyer taking responsibility for its maintanence once purchased. The bike is currently registered with the state of california under blue-tag status.
Shipping costs are the responsibility of the buyer although I will oversee and assist in the loading of the bike.
