Description

For sale 1999 Triumph Thunderbird Sport in GREAT condition

Beautiful yellow and black color / Perfect example of one of Triumph must sought after motorcycle

The classic tasteful lines of the Thunderbird Sport will get you comments everywhere you go

The TBS's workmanship, uspension, hassi, otor and brakes are excellent

Only 1998 and 1999 models had the mufflers pitched up on the right side and highly desirable AKRONT 17"aluminumrims from the factory ( see picture)

Here is the quick and dirty laundry list of what it takes to turn a mild-mannered Thunderbird into a rip-snorting Thunderbird Sport: Change the 18 inch front and 16 inch rear wheels to 17 inch on both ends shod with Avon tubed radials. Add a second disc to the brakes up front. Throw away the suspension and install fully adjustable (compression, ebound damping and spring pre-load) 43mm forks and a fully adjustable mono shock. Take the 885cc liquid cooled in-line-three cylinder engine, aid the Speed Triple parts bin and boost output from a meek 69 horsepower to a chic 82 horsepower. Now route that power through a six-speed gearbox and bolt on a swell set of upswept reverse-cone mufflers to generate the necessary Ground Clearance.

Triumph also made a few cosmetic changes to the Thunderbird for the Sport model. The chrome has generally disappeared in favor of a nice satin black. Decorations like stitching and buttons are gone from the seat. The air box gets a sportier visual treatment that recalls the exposed air cleaners worn by yesteryear's competition bikes. There are no sharp corners on the Sport. The fuel tank, ide panels, enders, rankcase covers and valve covers are curvaceous pieces that seamlessly flow into each other. The attention paid to this theme of roundness is phenomenal. The brake fluid reservoirs are short cylinders! Once the new turn-signal lenses and taillight caught my eye they held it for five minutes. Nice touch

Quality new Metzler tires as well as new battery / oil changed / brakes and engine coolant flushed / new spark plugs / carburetors cleanedbring this 900 triple to be one of the smoothest best responding engine ever produced
