This bike sat in a barn since 1986. I took it to the bare frame and did a budget build of a classic brit triple. This is not a show bike by any means, the frame and tins are rattlecan, and she has a few leaks here and there. It is a real nice ride, and a real conversation starter.
Choppahead +4" (2" drop) rear bolt on hardtail that was welded on for strength. Took a lot of time to make sure it was true and square.
Brand New Maxxis Classic whitewalls with new tubes. Stock front wheel, Harley Davidson 16" rear laced to a drum brake and a BSA hub, both in used condition. All new wheel bearings.
Rebuilt front caliper and new billet master, with rebuilt internals.
New fork seals and fluid.
All new wiring, using a tympanium unit to eliminate the zenor diode and rectifier. Pos. ground, but can be swapped to neg at the tymp.
3 new coils, with all condensors, all custom mounted under the tank, with the condensors inside the tunnel.
3 new sets of points. I know people say this, but this bike is truely a one or two kick bike when cold.
New valve adjustment and rocker box gaskets.
Headlight from an old toyota FJ40, as well as the rear oil cooler assembly, with a 1 qt extra capacity. Always useful on a british bike.
HD style wraparound santee-type oil tank with the correct brit fittings for rocker feed.
New plugs and wires, NGK.
New rear directionals, no fronts. All wiring goes through the factory switches, directionals, high/low beam, engine kill, tail and brake lights all work.
New seat and springs.
New rubbers.
New dragbars and mounts.
Stainless russell brake line, new.
3 Rebuilt carbs, amals, with new carb rubbers and cross lines. K&N style (brand unknown) filters.
3 into one header system, used, but in great shape.
New fork gaitors
New Battery.
This is not a beginners bike, and will require maintennance and attention as all classic bikes do. Rides straight and shifts well. It is a rigid, so be aware.
She leaks from the rocker box bases right now, but runs and drives fine. Motor was not rebuilt, but does not seem to need it. I put 20 miles on her yesterday, and she did fine, but I would definately get them done. If you are afraid to work on stuff, do not buy this bike.
NEW PRICE, $2300
Have a friend giving me a bonnie in pieces, so this needs to go.
