2008 Custom Built Motorcycles Chopper

Description: 2008 TRIUMPH CUSTOM CHOPPER / BOBBER, 865cc BONNEVILLE I'm sitting on too many bikes and decided to let this one go. This custom rigid frame motorcycle is a modified 2008 Bonneville T100. It's in excellent condition and the bike runs perfect. Starts right up, doesn't smoke, doesn't leak, and is quick just like any other 865cc Bonneville. This is not a show bike... it's very rideable for daily use if desired. The engine is 16 years old, but it still looks great (as pictured) and is very easy to work on. I built this bike myself (56-year-old machinist/welder/fabricator), so I know all relevant aspects regarding this custom build. The frame still features removable lower frame rails (similar to stock design) and a removable rear hardtail which permits easy maintenance, cleaning, repair, etc. The frame has razor straight alignment and is a very strong, safe, and reliable frame assembly. The hardtail section design was intentionally raised slightly in order to make the seat position more comfortable to operate the mid-foot controls for somebody who is approximately 5'10"-6'1". Taller or shorter riders can easily modify this seat position and pivot the handlebar as required. VIN: S M T 9 1 0 K 1 X 8 T 3 4 1 7 2 1 (This is a 50 state, California-approved motorcycle VIN). I bought it about 2 years ago as basically a stock bike that had a missing instrument cluster, and decided it was an ideal candidate for a stripped down chopper project. Feel free to research this VIN on your own. I never did myself because the bike ran great, didn't leak or smoke, had a clean title, and that's all I cared about. I've put about 2000 miles on it since I built it, but PRECISE MILEAGE IS UNKNOWN due to no odometer available. I welcome all in-person inspections. The photos accurately depict its present condition and there are no surprises. What you see is what you get. Test rides are conditional based on cash-in-my-hand (I've been riding 40+ years and I only carry liability insurance on all my bikes nowadays), OR you can witness from a car as I demonstrate the bike in traffic. It takes a little practice to feel comfortable with the stretched out rake, the twist clutch, and the integrated braking, but it's fun to ride once you become familiar and comfortable with its custom feel (just like any chopper). It has a similar weight & riding feel compared to an average chopped Harley-Davidson Sportster. FEATURES & SPECIFICATIONS: - 865cc engine with dual carburetors and external oil cooler. - 5-speed transmission (the stock gear/sprocket ratio tops this bike out at approx 110mph). - Deep tread on 170/60/17 rear tire & 150/70/18 front tire. - 4.2 gallon fuel tank (this includes approx 1 gallon reserve). - Custom chopped frame specs: 40-degree front rake (5" trail), 3" rise, and stretched to a 95" overall length (tire OD <-> tire OD). - 41mm fork tubes are 4-1/2" longer than original length (you can still see the original triple tree clamping marks on the fork tubes). - 1-1/4" handlebar features a "clean look" similar to bikes built by Exile Cycles. It has an internal throttle cable and an internal twist clutch (instead of a clutch lever). This feature alone draws curious onlookers towards this bike in any parking lot. Be ready to engage in conversations wherever you go. - Features a custom electrical junction box and battery box for simplified access to all wiring connections. - Integrated foot pedal operates both the front & rear brake calipers (instead of a front brake lever on the handlebar). - LED rear light housings (combo tail, brake, & turn), and mini LED front turn signals w/ hidden button switches. - Mini indicator lights on triple tree for oil pressure warning (red) and neutral shift position (green). - Bare metal tank, fender, & sissy bar (It's Nevada, so rust isn't a concern). Scotchbrite pads & WD-40 give it a fresh look whenever desired. - Sissy bar angle (40 degrees) is identical to fork rake angle (40 degrees). - Easily removable custom Triumph tank badges if desired. - Central location of license plate mounting, but still easily visible in traffic. - Exhaust pipes feature hidden internal muffler baffles (not open pipe, but it is a little louder than stock). - Clean Nevada title in hand. Currently registered. - I'm also including the original Triumph keys (ignition & fork lock), official Triumph factory service manual & owner manual (for the 2008 Bonneville T100 model), the original chrome sprocket cover (not installed), and assorted misc maintenance parts. SHIPPING INFO: Shipping quotes and arrangements need to be contracted by the buyer, but I can recommend Montway Auto Transport for a quote from zip code 89502 (bike is located in southeast Reno near airport). I've used them to ship motorcycles before with no problems. They secure the bike to a specialized shipping pallet, which is then used for moving the bike from truck to dock to truck, etc, and the tires don't touch the ground until it's delivered to your driveway. Even though this is a custom bike, I suggest you use "2008 Triumph Bonneville" as the bike model in order to get an accurate quote because it's titled as such, the weight is still about the same as stock, and it still fits within their shipping pallet length requirements. PERSONAL DELIVERY OPTION: I'm retired and enjoy road trips, so I spend a lot of time traveling nowadays. I can deliver this bike within approx 800 miles from Reno using my enclosed cargo trailer. $1-per-mile delivery fee will be calculated based on the shortest route from zip code 89502. All purchase & delivery funds must clear before bike leaves Reno. Questions? Call (775) 2 3 3 - 9 8 2 4 (leave a message and I'll call you back) ... Thanks for your interest, Jeff.
