This is my first post so hello everyone.
I'm looking to get my feet wet with a first time purchase of a classic triumph. I’ve been scanning the typical outlets for deals and ran across a matching number 1973 Bonneville. I know it is not the most desirable collectable year but thought I’d like to get some input.
The bike has had: new chrome, including fenders, headlight nacelle and fork brackets. New exhaust pipes(pre 1970 style) and header pipes, external cartridge oil filter, Boyer electronic ignition, stainless master cylinder for front disc brake, instrument rebuild, new cables, new Hagon shocks, new mirrors, older style side covers and chrome air cleaners to look like pre 1970. Neutral is hard to find unless rolling. He said this is normal? VIN: T140VEH3XXXX
The pitfalls of this year bike? Since so much has been changed is this bike a good project year to invest money and time? I want to spend my hobbie time on building a bike but also want value at the end of the day. At what price? The guy wants $3,300.
