Triumph Thunderbird description

 Beautiful 1953 Triumph Thunderbird motorcycle.  Complete engine restoration along with professional paint and correct cad plating of all parts that are supposed to be plated.  New tires, modern electronic regulator hidden in the original housing. New tires and tubes, restored speedo that works great. Some new fasteners along with many original fasteners that were re-plated. Minor ding in the paint on the tank as pictured from transporting it to a show but comes with extra paint for any desired touch-ups. Former owner/ Triumph expert produced water slide decals for vintage Triumph's and was the guy who found and restored James Dean's original Triumph which was auctioned for a small fortune some years back. This was his personal pet project which I acquired shortly before he passed several years ago. It was mostly complete when I got it and I had help from P. T. Customs (noted British bike specialist of west Michigan) and consult from Bill Horde, another area expert to complete the restoration.  It's been judged twice at national AMCA meets and has acquired a junior and senior first place marks with 96 out of 100 points for a correct restoration. Aside from being absolutely beautiful and nearly perfect it is a joy to ride as well. Starts on the first kick, nimble and quick off the line. Thrilling and easy to ride vintage machine. Comes with several extra rubbers, parts manual and riders manual from another triumph bike but much of the info carry's over and AMCA plaque badges, and judging sheet. Many receipts are included as well. Opening bid is less than what I have into this one. Offered locally as well, any questions feel free to call (616) 874-7130.  Buyer responsible for pick-up but I'm happy to assist you or movers in loading. Located in Grand Rapids area.
