1968 Triumph TR6 650CC
The good:
#'s matching. current and clear title in my name
Odometer reads 9686 miles but this will increase. I also highly doubt these are actual miles.
Boyer ignition. Mikuni carb. Tympanium regulator. external Trident style oil filter with replaceable element. repro TT exhaust with removable baffles
Larger counter shaft sprocket for highway running
Prior owner was a Brit bike guy and rebuilt the engine from the sludge trap up
Runs great. starts in 1-2 kicks as long as you follow the drill
Nice vintage look saddlebags with brackets
Things worth noting:
The paint while good. is an amateur job. There is a crack in the paint on the right side of the gas tank and the rear fender (see photos)
Needle on the ammeter has given up the ghost recently (charging system still works perfectly)
Minor oil weeps from the left side of the head gasket and left side of the base gasket
It threw a chain in the past and the case was repaired with an epoxy compound (see photo)
Rear wheel is missing a spoke and has a ding in it (see photo of ding). This does not effect the ride.
Fork seals weep a tad. not bad enough to the point it's bothered me enough but new seals and O-rings will be included
This is not a pristine restored bike but is far from junk. it is a good rider caliber that can be enjoyed as is or can be taken to the next level.
I have put over 3500 miles on this bike in the 2 years I have owned it. it has been well maintained and as such has never let me down. Cruises great and gets compliments wherever it goes.
Bike is located 1. 5 hrs. north of Milwaukee WI and is for sale as is. where is. I have described the condition of this bike honestly but since it is a 46 year old motorcycle no warranty is expressed or implied. Bike is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end auction due to bike being listed locally.
