Triumph TR6 description

 1957 Triumph TR6 project. I originally found this bike mostly incomplete, and have hung parts on it as they turned up. I'm not going to be able to restore it, and I need the space.
It is not a runner, but engine and gearbox are free.  Let's be clear, it needs a total restoration, and there is lots of work to do, not every item on it is in great shape.
On the plus side, it is close to complete, missing  the dynamo, engine plate covers, and gas tank supports, 1 tank badge, and possibly some small  things I have missed, but I believe all the custom fasteners are there. It has a Canadian ownership and matching numbers.
Here are some  issues I know of, but possibly not all.
Gas tank has welding on bottom, around rear mounting studs, pitting around filler and some minor dents, but I believe it to be solid, although, I would seal it to be sure.
Outer primary is in good shape, but was chromed at some point. Someone removed much of it, but still lots left.
Headlight needs hole cutting in bottom for QD plug.
The rear wheel is from a unit Triumph. You could use it, but I am including a hard to find pre unit  19" QD wheel. It's the wrong size rim, it s/b 18", but if you rebuild the wheel around the QD hub, it will be correct.
Rear fender is a "Made in England" repop, made on the same Equipment originally used by the factory. It looks fine.
This would be a perfect winter project for someone.

I will ship worldwide, delivery costs are the responsibility of the buyer, but I will do anything I can to assist, but please note, shipments to some countries require a custom made packing case from treated wood, and can be expensive. Payment is by bank transfer only within 3 days, or if you are picking it up, a $500 deposit by Paypal within 2 days, balance in cash on pickup.

Speed Triple exhausts

Mon, 19 Apr 2010

The Speed Triple sounds quite throaty with the standard pipes, on the overrun it pops and farts to its heart content but it could be louder. Also standard pipes are usually quite heavy, on the Triple they weigh 9.3kg!!! Triumphs preferred exhaust manufacture is Arrow and they offer side and under seat options as official Triumph accessories.

Triumph Sets Sales Record but Suffers First Operating Loss Since 2009

Thu, 12 Dec 2013

Triumph sold 52,089 motorcycles from its fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, setting a new company record for annual sales. At the same time, the company announced an operating loss of £95,000 (US$155,300), the company’s time in the red since 2009. Much of the operating loss was caused by foreign currency exchanges and the cost of starting up manufacturing facilities in Brazil and India.
