SUMMARY
Classic 500cc featherbed-framed Triton, recently refreshed and ready to be enjoyed once again.
DESCRIPTION
- Originally built some 35 years ago before being stored in the, then, owners bedroom, with just 100 miles recorded
- 500cc Triumph with multi-fin T100 barrels on a T5 bottom end with twin-carb head
- The next keeper stripped the engine which he described, at the time, as being 'like brand new'
- For rideability, he also exchanged the 10:1 pistons fitted for 7:1. The originals will be supplied with the bike
- Purchased in 2020 by the present keeper who has since designed and fitted a bespoke alloy tank and rear seat pod, manufactured by Richard Phelps at TAB Classics, Wales
- Other minor improvements followed including the fitting of clip-ons, levers, new switches and rear set rests
- With a classic Café Racer look, this is one Triton that is ready to be enjoyed once again
