Warrant: Yes
Colour: Spring Gold

Imported a few years ago, this early T150T Trident comes with its original 'Beauty Kit' styling - a dealer-applied package introduced in 1970 to help reposition the model after slow initial sales. The kit replaced the factory Ogle-designed ‘breadbox’ tank and ray-gun silencers with more traditional Triumph items: a 650-style fuel tank, barrel-style mufflers, and a Bonneville grab rail. The result was a look that aligned more closely with Triumph’s twin-cylinder range and helped broaden the Trident’s appeal in the U.S. market.

Since arriving, the bike has undergone a full engine rebuild and a methodical recommissioning process. Although the engine had previously been pulled apart in its U.S. ownership, it was stripped and rebuilt properly from the crank up. The rebuild included a crank regrind, new rods, +.020" pistons, new valve guides, and a cleaned sludge trap. A Tri-Spark ignition system has been fitted for improved reliability, and an LP Williams anti-drain valve has been installed. A Triples Unlimited clutch ramp modification was installed so it has a nice light clutch action.

The carbs have been replaced with brand new Wassell Evolutions, a new 19T gearbox sprocket fitted, and an oil pressure gauge added for peace of mind. New Dunlop TT100 tyres and freshly repainted tank and guards make it look the part - photos don't do it justice. The bike is still being run in. Have done many miles testing and fine tuning - it goes and rides very well. It does not blow smoke, has good compression and oil pressure. A great sounding Triple, much more money was spent on this restoration than the asking price - our loss your gain.
