Triumph Other description

1970 Triumph T120R Unit 650cc motor. Not running currently as it needs to have 1 piston replaced along with either having the original cylinders honed/sleeved. The problem was caused by too much ignition advance, bad oil changing habits and cheap-o piston rings by the prevoius owner. This is a complete motor, but is without carbs/intakes. The top end was removed, and 1 piston is holed. I always suggest rebuilding these old British twins regardless of running condition unless I know it has been rebuilt fairly recently, or are obviously running fine. When these sit up they still age, and like any other type of maintenance certain categories of parts age as well. Needs new gaskets, o rings, rubber parts, and newer amal carburetors. The twin or single intake can be easily found on-line at eBay. I am allowing for you to rebuild this motor in the price already. This is a fair price, for a Triumph motor of this sort. I want this to go to someone who will use it for either an original, rebuilt/restored Triumph T120R, or, for a cool British bobber! Please, no hustlers. Call Tim or Bob at with any questions, or write me through CraigsList. Thank you.

The trio decided to spend their rock and roll dollars on brand new motorcycles.
