1964 Triumph Bonneville on 2040-motos

First, this is NOT a 1964 Triumph. Had to list this way as the bike has a 1964 main frame. It is NOT a numbers

matching bike, so if that is what you want, hit the back button.

BASICS

1964 main frame

1969-70 front end

1972 650, 5 speed motor

sub frame, mid/late 60’s

Has a 1964 center stand ( hard to find, took three tries to get the right one)

Frame was powder coated in a rough finish silver, to look somewhat like sandblasted alloy.

Seat pan, chain guard, battery box, center stand, fork headlight ears, powder coated in smooth

high silver.

Lower fork legs, front brake plate, triple tree, dog bone risers, headlight rim, motor mounts, 

rear peg mounts were powder coated in candy blue over high silver.

NEW front forks

NEW seal holders, seals gaskets, etc.

NEW rubber gaiters

NEW stainless steel gaiter bands

NEW front tire, Avon Speedmaster, on Radaelli rim with stainless steel spokes.

Loose head bearings replaced with a set of Timken tapered roller bearings.

NEW headlight with H4 Halogen bulb.

NEW made in the UK cloth covered wiring harness

Triumph horn switch with hi/low head light switch

REAL Tomaselli brake and clutch levers, NOT repops

Triumph throttle.

All NEW cables

NEW HAGON rear shocks

NEW drive chain ( can’t remember, either DID or Reynolds)

NEW Battery

NEW seat foam

NEW grey top seat cover, from the UK

New 1965 rear license plate holder and tail lamp

The tank is a 1964-65. it was perfect absolutely no rust or bondo. It was sitting on a high shelf 

after painting and was accidentally knocked off, resulting in a small dent at the very tip of the front. 

Can’t see it when on the bike.

NEW tank rack

NEW tank rubbers and mounting plates.

NEW repop “Garden Gate” badges

Most of the nuts and bolts are chrome plated

High, desert style tucked in exhaust with chrome mufflers. The mufflers have baffling 

but are a little loud ( in a good way, sound great).

Speedometer and tach rebuilt/refurbished to better than new by Nisonger Instruments of New York

MOTOR and TRANSMISSION

The motor and trans were completely disassembled. Gears, etc were checked for wear and found 

to be good. Cases cleaned and some polishing to remove most factory machine marks. The engine 

was re-assembled with ALL NEW bearings, bushes, gaskets and seals. The crankshaft oil tube/filter

(sludge trap)was replaced. Cylinders were bored .060 over. NEW UK made pistons, rings, gudgeon pins, and small end

bushings. NEW push rods and seals.

Bike was originally a Bonneville. I switched to a single carb head (1966 or 67). The head was 

completely cleaned, the domes polished. The head was then rebuilt with Kibblewhite/Precision 

Engineering bronze valve guides, valve springs, valves, retainers, etc. Over $330 for the parts. 

Rocker covers rebuilt with mushroom tappets.

Completely NEW clutch assembly and primary drive. NEW primary sprocket, NEW primary drive 

chain. NEW clutch basket, NEW steel and fiber plates ( I think they were Barnett), NEW Barnett 

clutch springs and nuts. Aftermarket alloy pressure plate.

NEW Sparks 210 watt, 3 phase, rotor and stator for plenty of juice for accessories like heated 

gloves or vest. Boyer-Bransden electronic ignition with NEW 6 volt coils and correct plug wires

Amal 930 carb was cleaned and rebuilt. With round air filter.

The previous owner put earlier style side cases on the motor, and had them chromed. The chrome 

is good, some pitting, no peeling.

The paint is good for a driver but not show quality. The gold on the tank and the stripes on the 

fenders are 24k gold leaf.

The fenders have some small dings. I should have skimmed them but got a little lazy at the end.

This bike only has about 40 miles since the rebuild. It runs great. To start I kick it over a couple times

with the key off, loosens the clutch if it sat too long. Then I tickle it. Usually starts on first or second kick.

Motor is very strong, and runs smooth.

It SHOULD BE treated as a new bike and broken in like such, with re-torking head bolts and oil change 

after a couple hundred miles.

I am sure I have forgotten to mention some things(parts like small springs for center stand and side stand, 

nuts and bolts, etc.)

Email any questions or if you would like a photo of somewhere I didn’t post.
