Yes that's right. The Triumph build got so extensive it forced me to put the KawaTon up for sale. I listed it on CraigsList in Atl for a month at $5k obo and got no bites. I then listed it on CraigslIst in Los Angeles and got a response with in an hour : Is everyone in Dawsonville crazy? Or is it just you? Well he got a typical nasty reply. My friend Jag told me I needed to get it on EBay where I would have a bigger audience. So I listed it on EBay with a BIN @ $5k or "make offer". I set it up with a "refuse all offers less than $3K" and "accept all offers over $4k". We'll I got an offer within 1/2 an hour and completed the deal within the hour and offered to deliver it to Ct. if he paid the asking price. He agreed and I made him pay an additional $150 for gas to bring it to him, which gave me an opportunity to spend the weekend with my family in Ct. (Mom, Dad, and 2 Bro's). The guy who bought it has 21 other bikes in his stable and works for the city of Bridgeport. He met me at my parents house at 3pm and loaded the bike and was on his way. On Sunday he texts me to say he has spark, cleaned the carbs and some other things to it. On Monday on my way back home he texts me a video to show he already has the bike running, Holy shite. Am I kicking myself right now. I get home and start to look into a box that I had filled with auto manuals from my deceased brothers house. Well sometime between me packing the box and it being delivered to me my brother had put other paperwork and manuals in the box. Includes in this paper work was all the receipts and drawings and diagrams from the build of the KawaTon. The guy kept a diary of every ride and what changes he made and the results. Diagrams for the exhaust, motor mounts and all. This bike was built in 1977 and ridden regularly for the next 4 years, so enough of all the worry off how this thing is going to fall apart. I never really went over the bike closely enough to know that the 2 bubbles in the side of the tank are not from the fiberglass blistering, but blisters in the bondo repair of a dent in the ALLOY tank.grandpaul said:The OP certainly will worry no more, as he has sold the bike along.
All my efforts are being concentrated on the 1970 Triumph Tiger conversion to Kimtabs and disc brakes.
