Description

You are bidding on a meticulously maintained Triumph TR6C. This bike has matching numbers and is 100 original with the exception of a 67 taillight and grey top 67 seat. The petrol tank, ide cover and oil tank were flawlessly painted by Don Hutchinson The original seat and 68 taillight are available in separate auctions that I will list later. The Tach and Speedo have been fully reconditioned. The bike has also been retrofitted with a 5 speed gearbox, 1 tooth front sprocket and heavy duty clutch from a later bike. I do not have the original gearbox. The AMAL 930 is new and has the stay up float upgrade. Other upgrades include 6 volt coils and a Boyer Electronic ignition to replace the problematic point style ignition. The bike has a 12 volt system but the 6 volt coils work better with the Boyer. Everyone says they have a leak free unit triumph. I have owned over ten bikes, nit and pre-unit and I can say they are full of BS. All early Triumphs leak. That said, his one leaks very little, one from the breather and one small drop after long rides. The engine was rebuilt by the prior owner and runs perfectly. The gearbox has no issues and shift smoothly. I do not hesitate to take this bike on all day rides. Contact me at 916-743-9475 if you have any questions on this bike. I currently own 5 early Triumphs and need to thin my heard a bit. Good Luck bidding. This is truly a great bike and will not disappoint.
