Triumph Tiger description

Completely rebuilt in 1995 with about 2000 miles since.  Powder coating on frame and many small pieces.   Sun rims with stainless spokes.  Wheels rebuilt by Britech with clear coated hubs.  Engine top end rebuilt with Britech coatings on piston, cylinder and clear coat on all aluminum parts.  Corbin leather faced saddle.  Works Performance shocks.  Custom front headlight with halogen lights and led rear light.  British made ceramic coated exhaust .  Boyer Branson electronic ignition and solid state voltage regulator.  Dyna coil.  Lockhart oil cooler.  Oil filter added which uses Trident filters.  Stainless front brake disk.  Levers and master cylinder from Kawasaki Z-1 with stainless brake line.  O-ring chain on new sprockets.  Renthal aluminum flat track bars.  Includes extra British made TT pipes and flat slide Mikuni carburetor with manifold and filter.  Fork tubes, bottom caps and bushings replaced.  Only thing it needs is new footpeg and kickstarter rubbers.  Some minor flaws in the clear coatings.  Always starts on the first or second kick.  All the flaws of a 70's Triumph have been addressed.  To me the 73 model is the best Triumph because it has a disk brake, 750cc, five speed transmission and shifts on the right like a proper British motorcycle.  I have owned this bike since 1974 and know its history.  Any questions or to arrange a visit 574-457-2216.

The Steve McQueen Desert Racer

Tue, 24 Mar 2009

There are few motorcycle icons within pop culture that have endured as vividly as that of the late, great Steve McQueen. A man who was at one time the highest paid actor in Hollywood, he avoided the limelight in favor of immersing himself within his passion for motorcycles. Never afraid of getting dirty, McQueen was at his happiest flogging a bike around the track with fellow racers or tinkering with the machines himself.

Recall for 2011 Triumph Tiger 800, 800XC Accessory Center Stands

Mon, 29 Aug 2011

Triumph is recalling accessory center stands for the 2011 Tiger 800 and Tiger 800XC because of a defective return spring. According to documents released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the return springs on the  accessory center stand for the Triumph Tiger 800 and 800XC may not always return to its original length, potentially leading to a loose center stand and a fracture in the spring wire. Riders may detect a rattling sound from the loose stand and in the case of a fractured spring, a scraping sound caused by the center stand dragging along the road.

MPG or BHP?

Thu, 05 Jan 2012

If you were a child of the seventies, you may remember Craig Vetter’s name from his previous work as a stylist (Triumph Hurricane) or his huge fairing business, Vetter Fairings.  Since then, the 69 year-old industrial designer has become obsessed by fuel consumption - or rather highlighting how poor motorcycles are delivering impressive figures. He originally ran a series of fuel challenges in the eighties and now the economy has taken a nose dive, he has resurrected the competition, figuring that the time is now right to highlight these issues again. According to Vetter, three of every four American gallons of petrol is imported – reason enough to devote his time to raising awareness.
