Winter time is a great time to seek out new rides or to check on what other folks are building. Currently we are in parts collecting mode for two projects so nothing is getting done on our builds. In the interim, check out this 1967 Triumph 650 Custom Bobber for sale in Arizona.
"We
are excited to offer up for auction this very nice, clean vintage Triumph with
the rare 650 5 speed engine/tranny along with some very nice retro upgrades built
in the old school style. Bike starts easily and runs great with a very strong
engine.
As
with other bikes we have built we are extremely meticulous with the build
process. This Triumph was built from the bare frame up; we media blasted the
frame and painted it with a base coat clear coat application. All parts of the
bike were assembled with great care, as is evident when you look at the
pictures. We realize the description of this bike is longer than most but we
wanted to share as much as possible about this Triumph and all the professional
work that went into this custom build.
Bike
has a clean Arizona title in my name and it is titled as a 1967 Triumph T-120.
The engine put into this build was a better breathing 1972 650 with a 5 speed,
the only 650 engine with a 5 speed from the factory. The bike has the upgraded
trans 5-speed high gear.
Frame
Number: T120RDU61748
Engine
Number: TR6RV-XG36520
Bike
starts first kick as it has a healthy Joe Hunt Magneto freshened up with new
points, condenser, cap, plug wires and boots. Bike has a lot of power and
drives great as is evident in the video. As there is a freshly rebuilt engine
in the bike it will need to be ridden easily at first to break in the new top
end. The engine was built from the sludge trap up so no surprises. Below is a
list of some of the new parts that went into this engine:
Rod bearings and bushings
A new bore job
Pistons at 0.20, pins, clips and rings
Valve job and valve guides
Exhaust flanges
New Black Diamond Valves
Bearings
Gaskets, seals, etc.
Bike has a nice set of NEW Amal carbs, again these are new carbs not rebuilt!
Frame
has a small 4 degree rake and a new factory metal work hardtail with a 6”
stretch and a 2.5” drop, so it is long and low but still has an 18” rear wheel.
The rear fender is a very nice old Wassell that we were able to bring back to
life.
This
bike is a blast to ride and a real head turner. Paint is Gloss Black Base Coat
Clear Coat on the frame and it is Antique Cream White with a Candy Copper
Stripe on the tank and fenders.
In
addition to the new engine parts I am listing a number of the other new parts
that went into the bike as well:

Rear sprocket and chain
Monstercraft chain tensioner

and 2.5” drop)
