@2NOR - I'll have to get back to you on that one. I dont want to guess on the carbs. the hose in between was Gates radiator hose that I cut down to equal length with a hacksaw. lol

I also had to mod the throttle cable a bit to make the Mikuni's work.

It was worth it though. No more hesitation when you TWIST IT!

Does your bike have the Boyer Electronic Ignition Kit?

That changed my bike like Night & Day!

I'll be digging the bike out within the next month or so and let you know.

like the 73 does this one also have 3 carburators and 3 cylynders? the acceleration was impressive!

[nanodano808]

@dirtyjew1974 - It's a Trident! ALL Tridents had 3 cylinders. Bonnevilles had 2.

I've seen your listing on craigslist and I am absolutely dying to buy this bike! I love everything about cafe triumphs, and you have the only one I've seen in my area thats black in color. The only problem is, I literally do not have a place to put a bike.

[bygonejohn]

what size tires do you have on there?



[dirtyjew1974]

@nanodano808 your right, im still in the learning process of motorcycles...im a new rider but i do really like my trident, its a really smooth ride and has good acceleration when its needed so it being a triple comes in handy! ive never ridden a bonnie before but im sure id love riding them as well
