Imported from Ohio in 2014 by me, this bike won the UK DTRA Vintage Class Championship in 2015. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The 650 motor is fitted with a 750 big bore kit and was modified for racing in the US. It has a ported head, racing valve springs, racing cams. It runs a pair of Mikuni carbs, which were new in 2015 replacing the worn Amal mk2s previously fitted. Ignition is an ARD mag, a favourite of US racers because they are very reliable, robust and don't need a battery. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Starting is via a 1/2" drive remote start socket on the left hand side crankshaft end. The left primary drive case is a period skinny flattrack item for extra ground clearance (no generator required or fitted). Alternatively starting can be via a roller starter. It starts easily and idles reliably.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The clutch is a 7 plate LP Williams new in 2015.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Stainless exhausts were made in 2015 specifically for this bike by Geoff at Co-Built. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Front forks are Betor in Weiss flattrack adjustable yokes. Rear shocks are Ohlins, again new in 2015, piggy back reservoir type with adjustable compression, rebound, ride height and hydraulic preload adjusters. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Wheels are 19" with Excel rims, spool front hub, rear quick change Barnes type hub. Swing arm bushes replaced last year, also front wheel bearings and spindle. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The fibreglass Trackmaster tank and Champion seat unit are very good, and were repainted in red and silver metal flake with a lot of 2k lacquer in early 2016. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The frame was made in 2004 by VMC Racing Frames in Cleveland, Ohio, by Doug Horner. It's oil in frame, made specifically for flattrack racing, and is based on an early 1970s Redline Racing design.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's a fast, reliable and nice handling bike. It's a race bike, not a show bike, and is being sold as such. </div>

However it is in generally very good condition. The main thing to note is that it is already fitted with all the parts needed to convert a standard T120 or any other early Triumph into a flattrack racing bike. My own opinion is that it needs to be raced - not turned into a streetracker - it is positively scary to ride on tarmac and I genuinely don't recommend it.</div>

The bike qualifies to be ridden in the Vintage DTRA race class, however, you could also ride it in Rookies, Restricted and/or Thunderbikes, if you wished. Please note though, a bike like this needs a lot of love! It's an oil in the frame bike which takes just over 1.5L, and needs changing after every meeting. Gearbox oil is separate and needs 2 changes a season, primary drive is minimal quantity but needs to be monitored. But bikes like these need constant fettling - if what you want is to race on a budget on an easy to maintain machine, this probably isn't the bike for you. However, if you want an involving and pleasing bike to ride that's great fun, it may well be.</div>
