Description
My 1956 (frame) Triton is for sale. Originally registered on a V5 in 1985, I've owned this bike since 2006, the total rebuild began in 2007/ 8. The frame is power coated, and the 650 cc 1965 (engine) 6T Thunderbird Engine was re engineered by SRM in Aberystwyth. Rob Walker Engineering lightened and rebalanced the crank, and I fitted a Bob Newby belt drive. The CAMS are stock E3134 Bonneville. It has a stainless steel two into one bespoke exhaust by RS Fabrications in Towcester, Boyer Bransden electronic ignition. Disco Volante fully adjustable clip-ons, RS Williams oil pressure gauge, 19" Borani flanged alloy wheels with Avon Venom tyres. Hagon rear shocks, with Roadholder front forks, with Norton Commando MK1 hub. Speedo and Rev counter restored by Ashley Pople.
12 v electrics with halogen bulb. Original Lucas tail light. Front brake lever has a micro switch which activates the rear brake light. Brand new 630 Amal Concentric carbarettors fitted. Hidden battery sits low behind the four speed gearbox. Alloy top yoke, stainless steel spokes by Central Wheel, Now no Road tax or MOT required.
Agreed value for Insurance through Footman James £14, 000 two years ago. On a four year Policy.
Three numbers and three letters registration mark, 2400 miles since rebuild completed in 2009/ 10. Regularly displayed at The Goodwood Revival, and an invite to Lord March's exclusive Garden Party in 2009. This is a light weight and quick Triton. Properly engineered for just the right look and feel.
Lots of photographs available and rebuild documentation with design drawings and sketches.
All bills and most receipts available with the Goodwood display poster. Which I've had framed.
This bike was a featured road test bike in March 2011 Classic Bike Guide Magazine over six pages of photographs and editorial. This bike rides beautifully and or can be delivered by trailer at £1 per mile return journey.
I will haggle a little in the interest of the bike going to a good home. I'm only selling the bike to fund a vintage car project.
