Up for grabs is another genuine piece of 70's chopper history: CUSTOM PAINTED "TRIUMPH" PEANUT CHOPPER TANK.
-Custom Painted with "Triumph" in Silver lettering on each side and a custom inlaid old photo (bikini lady) in the center.
This is the ultimate garage hanger conversation piece or a tank that will truly make that period 70's Triumph chopper build one of a kind!
CONDITION:
Please look at all of the supersized pictures and use the zoom feature to make your own final judgement, I have tried to highlight the item from all angles. Here is the condition as I see it:
- Tank is in overall good shape for its age and for being a 70's survivor that was on somebody's old chopper back in the days.
- Steel body is in overall very good shape (no major dings or dents).
- Inside is pretty clean, but could definitely use a good rinse before it's ready to be filled up and run (see photo 9). Would also suggest a good inline filter (which you should run on any tank regardless).
- The paint has plenty of knicks, chips, scrapes, gas damage, and sun fading that can be seen in pictures 1-9. In my opinion it has that perfect 70's patina that's not too beat up to run on a nice bike, but still tells a story no brand new paint job can.
-The most major "flaw" in the paint is the missing (chipped off) paint in the dinged area on the right which has been temporarily fixed somewhere along the lines with black marker (see photos 9, 10).
- Gas cap is included, no petcocks are included (setup to be able to run dual petcocks).
FITMENT:
- This is a standard Harley Davidson Sportster Style "Peanut" tank with custom mounts that were likely done for a custom Triumph chopper.
- Please verify on fitment on your end before purchase with your model year/frame, or that you are comfortable with custom fitting to your application.
- I am more than happy to assist with measurements or additional pictures if needed.
SHIPPING:
- My shipping price always includes the cost of FULL VALUE INSURANCE and for items over $250 also includes SIGNATURE DELIVERY CONFIRMATION (this requires USPS Express, UPS, or FedEx delivery for International) this is not an option due to the value/rarity of the items I sell and eBay policy. Cost also takes into account eBay and PayPal fees as well as packaging, materials, and time to make sure your item is professionally packaged and shipped within 1 business day and arrives to you safe and as pictured. If you have any questions/issues please feel free to ask, I am also open to working with you to save $ anywhere I can within reason but when working through eBay I will always follow eBay rules/regulations/policies, this is not an option when transacting business on eBay.
*Please look at all of the pictures carefully and message me with any questions or if you would like any additional photos or description of the item. Please also do your own research if you are looking to make sure your restoration is 100% model year correct as I do my best to research and confirm the exact year(s) for all parts as best I can but make no guarantees. I also do my best to describe each item in detail and take as many photos as possible, if you are ever unsatisfied with any item and feel anything was misrepresented please let me know and I will do what I can to make you happy. In the end I'm just another poor guy supporting his own motorcycle addiction*
