This Triton has been under construction for the several years. I constructed this bike knowing that most riders after 1974 don’t even remember that many motorcycles shifted on the right and brake on the left. Harley included. Our government decided that all bikes will shift on the left and brake on the right to end confusion and get one side of the brain to stop rather than both sides. Probably a good idea. Here is your chance to have a one off classic without the headache of trying to remember to shift on the right. If you have been riding modern bikes, this is for you. Frame 1966 Norton Slimline Featherbed bed frame. Bike comes complete with original Norton engine cases. Clear Tennessee Title. Frame is painted Kaki metallic base coat/clear coat Engine Triumph Bonneville 750 CC engine. Engine Numbers NN6403X. This makes this a 1976 Bonneville Engine. The engine came from a low mileage motorcycle that sat too long. The pistons were stuck at the bottom of the stroke. After some soaking and a gentle rap, the pistons were freed from the bore. I was going to bore it .010 over but found a new old stock cylinder assembly. The engine remains at stock bore with new pistons and rings. Cylinder head looked perfect but was sent out for a valve grind to make sure. Connecting rods had no slop and knowing it was low mileage, the engine was not split open. Cases were polished by the Chrome Shop with new badging. Exhaust is big bore MDI with upswept mufflers.
