This bike is a original survivor all original with 9,750 miles on it. It sat for 30 + years and was supposed to be brought back to running condition by the last owner who purchased it around 2000, however he had never gotten to it, placed it in storage and he wound up in a nursing home. I purchased the bike last fall and took the winter to make it right. Carbs pulled and sonic cleaned,new gaskets, new float valves, New coils. All the rubber was original from 1979 so had to be replaced new fork seals, new tires & tubes with original style K81s new manufacture date not old stock, carb boots, brake lines ,caliper piston rings,gas lines,vacuum lines. The front master cylinder is brand new stainless steel . The old one was working fine just needed to be cleaned up and that was placed onto the rear . New Rocker Box exhaust spindle gasket .The original rear master cylinder was trashed ,too much corrosion not able to even do a basic rebuild. New rear brake resivoure, new front brake light switch , Gas tank flushed and sealed new cap gasket. Oil lines and journals flushed. New headlamp turn signal lens caps all electrical is working to include the horn, kill switch, new battery ,anything electrical that's supposed to work does work. For a 43-year-old motorcycle the Chrome looks amazing as well as all the other finished metal. You can tell by looking this bike has not been ridden a lot. I've taken it out a few times and it works exactly the way it was designed to work it's a great bike for riding the countryside as it is very light this is my second T140E that I've had and true to its nature it's like riding a 10-speed with a 750 motor on it. 1979 was the first year of electronic ignition for Triumph and it is original and it works excellent. So no ignition points to worry about. The original cigar mufflers are in functioning condition however the rear of them is quite pitted and you might want to replace them but they do not need to be ,and no rejeting would be required to ride this bike as it sits. Paint is 8 out of 10 by my standard. If you follow standard starting procedure( understand this is a Triumph it is not a push button go bike like most of your new Japanese bikes as described in Triumphs manual there is a starting procedure you must first free the clutch all of this will be fully explained to the final purchaser ) it usually starts on the first kick. The bike will remain in the waseekers shop until title is transferred.
