Ed Baker I know! I just wish they were a little louder. I put them back on and am running them now. I'm told they sound good but we'll see. In a perfect world I would find $500 and get louder pea shooters. :-/
Hi, I actually got the very same one for Xmas. This is my first and have been trying to do most of the work on it myself. Have you sold the sissy bar and back rest yet? I think I would be interested in buying Though the green was pretty, it was "old" looking....scratched. I just got it painted! So cool now!
Lisa Hummel Hi Lisa! That's awesome, I love doing all the work myself. I haven't sold the sissy bar yet. It's wrapped in plastic in my attic at the moment. If you would be interested I'll send you some pictures.
Thanks for watching and an excellent question. You are absolutely correct it is well over 'retail' and more than KBB value. However, within about a 300 mile radius of my house, pricing for these tends to be a little more than what the 'official' pricing is. I found some that aligned more closely like 1500 miles away but that wasn't worth the trip. I ended up going with this particular bike for a few reasons: *Cosmetically, it is pretty clean. Not perfect but I don't exactly baby my toys. I ride/drive them as I feel they are meant to be. * I really liked the guy I was buying it from. I went and looked at it and he was straight up with me and seemed to be actually concerned that it was going to be loved by whoever he sold it to. *It came with 11 years of service history, organized in a folder. That was one of the biggest selling points. *It came with TOR exhaust (approx $600 on ebay) *Front and rear sprocket had been changed ($100) *New front and rear tires ($250) *Saddle bags (that I don't use but can sell for $200) *Windscreen (don't use but can sell for $100) *Genuine Triumph Tac kit with wiring ($200) *Center Stand ($100) *AI removal kit ($30) *Scheduled valve adjustment done (4 hours and $50) Overall with all the extra stuff, most of which I would have bought/found/made anyway, and the service history I was comfortable forking out the extra money. Also, my wife liked this one over some of the others I looked at too so that was a perk as well! Good question.
I didn't know they were rare, thanks for the tip. Also, don't worry! Everything I've done is easily reversible if someone offers me a wad of cash for it or wants a stock one. It would only take about 3 hours to swap everything back to stock. Sorry to see it got you upset man.
There are two kinds of owners. Those who maintain the original bikes, and those who customize. Don’t cross the streams. If your an originality, your whining falls on customizer deaf ears. And sorry, a 2001 Bonny is hardly rare. Show me a 1970 and we can talk.
@@hughtuller6344 now 4 years later so the 2001-2002 is now 20 years old so one kept close to stock in 15 more years will be rare very rare as the sales of the early 790cc was low then a year lost with the fire post 865cc stsrted to ssell in larger amounts then the efi models then the water cooled. so the pre fire 790cc carb with th hotter cams ..made in england ..less electrics few in numbers are keepers and are going up in value as the cafe boys have butchered many
But, Dude! Those Pea Shooters are CLASSIC Triumph!

Yes please. Gotgiggles2@hotmail.com
What I have seen to get the plastic out, is heat up a rod, push it in.. let it cool pull it out.
$3,000 is about triple NADA "retail" and about $700 more than KBB trade-in value. Did you pay a premium for a cosmetically excellent bike?

Good question.
