This is a beautifully restored 1970 Triumph T 120 R Bonneville. This bike was acquired from a used parts collector. The seller took it on as a project and targeted it for a full nut and bolt restoration… feat accomplished.
Great bargain for a fully restored new powerplant assembly!
The restoration was completed using 90% of the original bike including the frame, sheet metal, and power plant. This beautiful bike is factory fresh with only 3 miles break in. The restorer did all the mechanical work and paint while outsourcing the chrome to an outstanding special chrome shop. The color scheme is true Triumph Astral red on Silver.Great product excellently applied, correct color for the year.
This beautiful bike is road and show worthy with a Clean California Title.
