Description
This is my beautiful 1960 500cc classic Triumph Tiger finished in competition trim. The bike has had loads of work, lots of new parts, using genuine wherever available. It is an easy starter and serviced all round inc tank and sump filters.
V5 in my name, its a historic vehicle, tax and MOT exempt
Engine
Rebuilt 500 twin, new main bearings, bronze valve guides and valves, primary chain etc. Fully reconditioned concentric AMAL carb fitted. Runs well, ticks over nicely, sounds great and has good oil return.
Gearbox
Rebuilt with new bushes, bearings and seals
Frame, Forks and Wheels
Forks reconditioned, new wheel rims and spokes (stainless), including new knobbly tyres and tubes.
New seat, scrambler style handlebars and cables etc
Electrics
Complete new Lucas wiring loom, 12 volt solid state regulator and quality battery fitted. It is properly done, soldered joints and brass bullet connections, no crimps or scotch-clips
Paintwork is exceptional and is finished in glorious Triumph “pacific” blue. I have an unused set of straight through, high level pipes, happy you discuss if you prefer those over the siamese pipe fitted.
This bike is absolutely fabulous and its worth viewing, reluctantly selling for space
