This is an authentic. numbers matching. babied beauty that starts first or second kick every time and runs like a top! Runs good. has no leaks from the motor. shifts good. brakes are both working. as well as the clutch. The only thing i find that's not working at the moment is the taillight. The chrome has pitting and it's not perfect but it's original. That's what makes it so rare and cool. It looks like you would have found it in 1979. lightly used! I bought this bike from a gentleman 2 months ago. He signed over a title to me that was in his name as of November 1973. He stated he was the second owner and I have made copies of that title so that it can be past on with the bike giving a complete title history. This gentleman kept this bike in a heated garage under a 5 layer cover. The last time he had plated it was 1990. It has spark and good compression and starts second kick every time! Has Mikuni carburetor s installed. I have the original Amal carbs to go with the sale. The seat cover is original and has a couple tears but you can still make out the triumph printing on the back of the seat. The paint is fairly new base coat. clear coat. It was stated to me that one small dent was repaired in the tank and no other body work was needed. The tank emblems are patina. They were removed from another tank and look pretty cool against the fresh paint. Any questions please ask. I'm sure I've missed a lot of information.
