Triumph Trident description

Relisting due to non-payment...


No reserve.  I have some more pics if you want to send me a message.

1973 (series 2) Trident with ~7000 miles on the odo.

I bought this bike in pieces in Michigan 4 years ago or so. All of the parts are there for a full resto, but i started a hard tail project that's about 70% complete.

Rebuilt engine:
- Punched and honed cylinders
- New pistons
- Valve jorb
- Tri-Spark electronic ignition

The chrome on the engine cases was flaking and looked like shit, so i pulled it off and painted them black. Haven't started the engine since then, but I rode it after the new cylinders but before cleaning up the cases.  It should just need to be oiled, hooked up and timed... which is a piece of cake with the Tri-Spark.

New Pirelli tires with 0 miles on them.

Powder coated frame and tank.

New air box.

Rebuilt the carbs, should still be balanced.

New battery and coils.

Needs:
- All brakes
- Finish exhaust system
- Electrics (lights, signals, zener charger).
- Throttle grip
- A few 1/4-20s on the engine cases could use helicoils.
- All the little stuff you don't think about probably.

I love this bike, but i don't have a garage since moving to CA, so as much as I keep telling myself I'm going to finish it, it hasnt happened in these last 2 years... bike is stored in a climate controlled workshop.

Also, it has Tennessee plates, so if you buy it in CA, you won't need to register it non-op while it's being worked on.

There is no full specification yet, but it is known that the motorcycle will be produced in two color options: silver and black.

Triumph TE-1: a breakthrough in the world of electric bikes or just another fairy tale?

Sat, 20 Mar 2021

According to Triumph engineers, the fully ready-to-use TE-1 electric bike will weigh 220 kg, while it will be equipped with a 174 hp electric motor, and a 15 kWh batt ery will provide a cruising range of about 200 km. But the most important thing is not even these figures, but the charging speed: from 0 to 80% in just 20 minutes! This can already make even the most inveterate petrolheads turn their attention to "electric fellows".

Single sided chain adjustment

Wed, 14 Apr 2010

We don’t get the manuals with our long term bikes and I didn’t want swallow my pride and ask triumph how to adjust the chain on the Speed Triple. For the life of me I couldn’t figure it out. The single side swing arm with centrally mounted disk is a work of art but how the hell you are supposed to adjust the thing?
