Triumph Trophy description

I am selling a project that i just do not have time or space to finish. I bought it as a 58 triumph but after checking vin it shows it is a 56 TR6 i believe. Title i submitted and have says 58. Being this old they will let you call it anything. The vin is on frame where it belongs, had to have my wife find it as it is under paint on frame, engine number matches but trans is different number. Not uncommon due to age. I have would say 95 % of parts to complete and almost all is new or part ordered from UK. It was just painted two months ago Candy Brandy Wine by House of Colors. I also have a coffin tank that goes with the bike that is painted as well. The tank shown in photo is an original triumph tank and badges. Badges and tank rack were powder coated black. Wheels are Gloss black powder coat with new Coker tire vintage white walls. Protective blue coating still on them. Engine has been rebuilt, head was cracked so had professionally re-welded and  new 60s valves installed with new seats etc. New amal Carb. I have started and ran engine but is leaking from a cross over tube that goes head to head. Tube was powder coated and it is just not working. Got tired of putting money into so ii stopped there. Things that need to be done. Order new cross over tube and nuts, Install chain "have", Kick start skips sometimes sending leg to the ground but if find sweet spot ok just need to pull cover on trans and put in new gear. Finish making oil lines just set up to get running, need little finishing work. Set up stops on forks or add new stops so does not hit tank when turning. Finish setting brakes, should have all components to it just need to dial in when chain set etc. Then ready to ride, there may be few things i missed. I have video of me starting and running at my shop. Also among new things is a new Hunt Magneto. 

Hate to let it go but i am just not getting it done.  

One of a kind bike, wont loose value over time unless abused. Think could easily be show winner.

Questions feel free to ask.

South West Motorcycle Show 2010, August 28th & 29th

Tue, 17 Aug 2010

Need something to do on August Bank Holiday weekend, then read below: "Although the South West Motorcycle Show has been running at the Westpoint Arena for the last sixteen years, 2010 is the first year that the show hosts the all-new Vertical Trix European Stunt Championship. The show contains all the usual attractions that have been delivered to motorcyclists from over the south-west and further afield since 1994 – including all the appropriate trade stands, and with strong support from local dealers – plus attractions such a a dyno on site, restaurant, bar, bike displays, live music and of course the live action arena. Although the action in the show arena has previously been stunt displays, rather than a full-on competition.

This Used to be a Triumph Daytona 675 Race Bike [Video]

Thu, 29 Sep 2011

Crashes occur fairly often during motorcycle races but rarely do we see a race bike get as spectacularly demolished as this Triumph Daytona 675. The crash took place during the Sept.  11 Donington Park round of the Triumph Triple Challenge, a support class in the British Superbike series featuring the Triumph Daytona 675. Rider Ash Beech low sides going into a corner and thankfully slides relatively safely into the grass.

A new photograph of Triumph‘s upcoming 250cc naked bike has emerged, showing the Street Triple-styled small-displacement motorcycle undergoing testing in Spain. Triumph has previously confirmed the 250cc naked roadster and its fully-faired sportbike sibling will be introduced in 2015 and will be manufactured in India. Published by Britain’s MCN, the spy photo offers a clear look at the naked model’s left side.
