Cafe Racer 1998 Triumph Thunderbird Sport Triple Custom

1998 Triumph Thunderbird Sport Café Racer Thank you. for checking out our 1998 Triumph Thunderbird Sport Café Racer. We rescued her from the back of a local garage where she sat for many years … with less than 8000 original miles. we knew she had a lot of life left in her. especially since she has the bullet-proof 3 cylinder 885cc motor! She turned out to be a great platform bike for a Café Racer transformation. She has already taken a trophy for “Best Café Racer of Show” (check out our website for more info. and pics on this bike including several before/during/after photos along with a couple videos so you can hear her running and going down the road). We have received several offers to buy the bike out right; however. we thought it best to put her on ebay to help show folks what we are up to at Bare Bone Rides. Here is a list of some of the things we have done as part of her transformation: - new custom fabricated steel seat pan- new set of Bridgestone T-30 sport touring radials - new 2 year AGM X2Power Battery - new reverse cone matte black shorty mufflers (they produce an aggressive tone - you can hear their awesome sound on the videos) - new front fork seals & oil - new Kajima fork boots - new matte black clubman handlebars - new K&N air filter (for stock air-box) - new K&N oil filter - new low profile aluminum mirrors - new OEM throttle cable - new OEM grommets for headlight mount - new OEM rubber swingarm/chain protector (rubbing strip) - new OEM clutch cover gasket - new clutch and brake levers - new RK Gold X-Ring 530 Chain- new brushed aluminum mini turn signals- new cat-eye tail light with custom steel mount & license plate bracket - replaced fuel petcock with one that uses a vacuum shut-off - replaced oil pressure sending unit - replaced lower coolant pipe - replaced rear shock with a Kawasaki ZX7 shock - custom fabricated steel seat pan - professionally upholstered seat pad with marine grade vinyl & new seat foam - painted engine with two-part matte black urethane heat (650ºF) paint - tins painted with PPG Forrest Green Metallic (with Wimbledon White and Gold pin-stripe on tank). PPG DC2000 Deltron clear coat (she really pops in the sunlight) - new aftermarket Triumph tank pads - carbs were fully disassembled and cleaned. new float bowl gaskets. new float needles with newly machines needle seats installed. balanced/synchronized on the bike - all wheel bearings were checked/greased. steering stem bearings cleaned/re-packed with grease. swingarm bushings/needle bearings cleaned/greased. rear shock linkage cleaned/greased - many smaller matte black parts were powder coated (clutch/brake levers. rear shock linkage. etc. - new coolant and oil - will include a Moto-Centric battery tender/charger with pigtails already installed (see photo) - comes with original owner’s manuals & original tool pouch too (see photos)! - original seat lock has been maintained. so the new tail section can be removed simply by unlocking it (similar to the removal of the original seat)- too much to list everything but. the above items capture most of the work we've done on her - clean Florida Title More photos & videos are available on our website (noted below). http://www. barebonerides. com/bbr-bikes. html … just scroll down to this bike under “Café Racers”https://www. youtube. com/watch?v=fUlc3pTcbV0 walk around/sound clip video https://youtu. be/b6p050nSLuQ quick run video on the street (1 of 2) https://youtu. be/7l_cUz1tskc quick run video on the street (2 of 2) She is a turn key bike. fire her up. warm her up then get on her and go – the only thing she needs is her next care-taker!
