1971 TRIUMPH T120R BONNEVILLE 650 TRIKE PROJECT

CLASSIC 3-WHEELER WITH EXTENDED FORKS

NO RESERVE - YOU BID, YOU WIN! * * * PRICE LOWERED * * * 

CHASSIS & BRACKETS - Custom made trike raked chassis with extended forks and "live" axle.

SUSPENSION - Front forks need total overhaul, no rear suspension.

WHEELS, BRAKES & TIRES - NO WORKING BRAKES. Rear sprocket can accept disc brake caliper; front brakes need total overhaul. Mercury Marquis "snowflake" alloy rear wheels. Tires had good tread, but are old.

ENGINE - Appears all original. I have not opened the engine, but would recommend a total overhaul.

Intake & Exhaust - Mikuni carbs in good shape with UNI foam filters. Basic straight pipes with open mini-megaphones.

Ignition - Original points & condensers

HAND & FOOT CONTROLS - Original footpegs, no shifter or brake pedal. Handlebars may not be exactly as in photo, but will be good bars, not bent or rusted.

NO ELECTRICAL, LIGHTING, METERS, CABLES OR DRIVE CHAIN.

BODYWORK - Vintage "peanut" style tank of unknown origin. No fenders no sidecover. Oil tank with rough paint. Groovy "king & queen" seat in fair shape, fits a keg underneath just right. I had the idea of installing a hinge at the front of the seat to tip it forward, then saw the keg in half and convert it to a BBQ grille. I also had the idea of making up two "quick release" sub-frames with tank, seat, handlebars and footpegs, to have 2 passengers (one over each rear wheel) as if they were also riding bikes.

OTHER - No title, you're on your own. It's very easy to obtain titles from certain states for motorcycles older than 25 years.

SHIPPING - NOT INCLUDED. I highly recommend Keyboard Motorcycle Shipping to the buyer's door, insured. I can disassemble and/or crate the bike FOR AN ADDITIONAL FEE.

Price now lowered to less than the value of the engine alone. I don't part out bikes, so this is the last chance.

BOTTOM LINE

As with every bike, project and part I’ve sold online in over 15 years (with 100% satisfaction), the above listing contains no hype, no fluff and NO BULL. 

SOLD AS-IS. ALL SALES FINAL, NO RETURNS, NO REFUNDS. 

I've lowered the price to the value of the ENGINE ALONE. Somebody is getting a free trike chassis.

Thanx for looking and bidding.

Are Motorcycles Safer With Antilock Brakes?

Tue, 30 Dec 2008

A new report says riders with ABS-equipped bikes can dramatically reduce the chance of a fatal accident. The study compared fatality rates among riders on bikes that have antilock brakes, and it found that death rates were 38% lower on motorcycles equipped with the optional ABS systems compared to non-ABS bikes. In 2005-2006, the fatal crashes per 10,000 registered motorcycles without antilock brakes was 6.6.

Several members of the Motorcycle.com forum network’s TriumphRat.net community have reported issues with turn signals breaking off, and this recall appears to address the issue. According to Transport Canada, the supports for the front and rear turn signals were incorrectly manufactured and may break.

Church of MO: 2011 Triumph Sprint GT Review

Sun, 26 Dec 2021

Well I’ll be. Triumph doesn’t even make a sport-tourer anymore; they’ve all been phased out in favor of adventure bikes, looks like. The Honda VFR1200F that was supposed to be its competition is also long defunct, and the BMW K1300S has also left the building.
