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. |

The future. But we can't have it
Thu, 10 Nov 2011It's no secret that we motorcyclists are getting older. We're ageing because less people are passing their bike test each year (roughly 30,000 last year compared to 50,000 for the 10 years before the new two-part test) and so not only is the pool not growing it's not even being replenished and so the average age isn't being diluted down by yoof. When the going gets tough in any situation, you really get to see who's got their shit-sorted and who's light enough on their feet to adapt to change.
New: Venhill 888 fast-action twistgrips
Fri, 01 Mar 2013CONTROL specialist Venhill has launched its new 888 range of bike-specific fast action twistgrips. Supplied complete with the company's top of the range Featherlight cables, the kits are designed for a straightforward replacement of the factory-fitted equipment. Bike-specific kits are now available for the Honda CBR600F, Kawasaki ZX-6R/ZX-10R, Suzuki GSX-R600/750, Triumph 675 Daytona and Yamaha R1/R6, among others, with prices from £105. Here's Venhill's description of the new product: "Manufactured with a robust CNC machined alloy body, the 888 fast action twistgrip provides a choice of two settings and is supplied with two rotors so that riders can select the throttle action that best suits the riding conditions. Settings can be changed swiftly by undoing the two set screws securing the throttle body and changing the rotor. On the fastest setting there is 80° of rotation, (taking up 36mm of the cable), which is typically 45% faster than 'standard' throttles.
Triumph Tiger Explorer and Trophy SE Recalled for Throttle Position Sensor Error
Wed, 29 Jan 2014Triumph is recalling a combined total of 2,800 units of the Tiger Explorer and Trophy SE due to a problem with the electronic control unit detecting the throttle position. According to documents released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the ECU’s detection threshold is set too tightly and it lacked proper signal filtering, causing it to prematurely detecting a deviation in the throttle butterfly position. The ECU would then activate the ride-by-wire system’s safety shutdown, closing the throttle butterly valve and cutting the fuel and ignition.
