Triumph Bonneville description

Up for sale is my fully restored, numbers matching 1970 Bonneville. The top end was just redone, due to a circlip failure, with a break-in of just eighty- five easy neighborhood miles on it. I bought and built this as a weekend rider but, now, have decided to downsize.  

ENGINE: Rebuilt with Carrillo Rods, new rod bearings, left crank roller bearing, bored cylinder head, .020 forged piston kit, stainless intake valves and crank sludge tube. Already had new springs, collars, clutch & primary chain, MORGO plunger oil pump & MAP oil filter, located under the seat. Installed 7 plate clutch. 

GEARBOX: New bearings & cam plate with a late model 5 speed. With the 7 plate clutch, it's the smoothest transmission that you'll ever find and almost eliminates the sticking clutch plate problem.

FRAME: All black parts are powder coated.

ELECTRICS: New 200 watt stator, Tympanium, Boyer ignition with dual outlet high voltage coil. New fabric covered wiring harness.

FUEL: New BAP petcocks and AMAL PRENIUM 30mm carbs.

WHEELS: New stainless rims and BUCHANAN stainless spokes and nipples. Double-sealed wheel bearings. Correct DUNLOP K70 tires.

SUSPENSION: Rear; new swing arm bushings and Progressive Suspension shocks. Front; New chrome tubes, bushings, seals, gaters, springs and seal retainers.

NEW: Paint was mixed by Don Hutchinson and applied by Brent Budgor to exact factory specs. Only chip on bike is on the rear fender, see picture. Seat, cables, rear chain, sprockets, maintenance-free battery, new OEM amber reflectors with housings, reproduction Horns with handlebar switch and rebuilt Smith gauges.

**If possible,I encourage you to inspect and hear the bike run at my home, BEFORE, the end of the auction. I'm not a mechanic but will do my best to quickly answer all questions. USA SALES ONLY. Any shipping must be coordinated by the buyer. A $500 non-refundable deposit must be made within 24 hours and full payment within 7 days of the auction close. NO excuses. The bike WILL NOT be released until full payment has cleared your bank. Again, USA SALES ONLY.

**I will include the original Owner's Handbook, Haynes manual, service manual, two restoration books, extra oil filters and spark plugs and two different set of tank knee pads. I didn't want to use the knee pads because I didn't have the heart to cover up the beautiful paint job.

**Please know that my reserve is considerably below the prices of the last 70 Bonnevilles, of this quality, recently sold on Ebay. Thank you and good luck.

Craig Vetter Grand Marshall for 2012 AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days

Tue, 22 May 2012

PICKERINGTON, Ohio — AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame member and noted designer Craig Vetter — whose contributions to motorcycling range from the iconic Windjammer fairings and the Triumph X-75 Hurricane to the Mystery Ship limited-production high-performance motorcycles and a number of high-profile motorcycle fuel-economy contests — will be honored as this year’s grand marshal at AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days featuring Rockers and Mods, July 20-22, at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio. Vetter has been a member of the American Motorcyclist Association and a designer since 1965, and his varied background gives him a unique alliance to both the Rockers and Mods motorcycle subcultures. His design projects over the years have involved café racers — the motorcycles of choice for Rockers — and scooters, which are favored by Mods.

Craig Vetter To Headline AMA Hall Of Fame Breakfast At Daytona, March 14

Mon, 13 Jan 2014

AMA Hall of Fame member Craig Vetter will be the featured guest at its annual AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame Breakfast at Daytona, on Friday, March 14, at 7:00 a.m., at the Daytona 500 Club on the infield at Daytona International Speedway.  “Craig Vetter’s impact is far-reaching, starting with the design of the iconic Windjammer fairings of the 1970s, continuing with motorcycle designs like the Triumph X-75 Hurricane and the limited-edition ‘Mystery Ship,’ and enduring more recently with a resurrected series of motorcycle fuel economy runs that push the boundaries of everyday streamlining,” said Jeff Heininger, chairman of the American Motorcycle Heritage Foundation, which oversees the Hall of Fame. “We’re proud to host motorcycling’s design professor emeritus for this year’s Breakfast at Daytona.” Taking place during 2014 Daytona Bike Week, the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame Breakfast at Daytona fundraiser will feature a live interview with Vetter on stage, an audience Q&A period and an autograph session with Vetter and other Hall of Famers in attendance. The event is open to the public, and tickets are available now at www.motorcyclemuseum.org.
