I've had this collection of parts for nearly 25 years, and have beaten my brains out for nearly that long looking for the parts to finish this bike. After this quarter-century of brain beating, I have discovered two things: That TD1 collectors are obstinate, obnoxious hoarders that would rather absorb parts into their black holes rather than actually see these bikes on the track, and: my conscience will never allow me too spend the kind of money required to actually finish this thing, so up for sale it goes.
What's actually up for sale? The following:
C Frame. Beautiful shape, no repairs or cracks
C Swingarm, no repairs or cracks. Axle, pivot and adjusters
Front wheel assembly, complete and in great shape
Rear wheel assembly, complete and in great shape
Bottom triple clamp, with friction damper
B-type top clamp, with B-type for stanchions (brand new) and C-type sliders.
Seat base, no repairs or cracks with intact, correct seat foam and cover,
Expansion chambers, unmolested, no cracks or repairs. Stingers intact.
B Cases,
B Cylinders and heads,
C Crank,
C transmission and clutch basket
2 sets of carbs, one pair of float bowls, bowl mount and brand new, nos bowl hanger in original TD1 grey
Throttle, levers and many other odds and ends.
This is not an exhaustive list, and there may be other significant items I've forgotten about. No pictures handy, but if you're still reading this and actually interested, you know what this bike is. Bike is located in Toronto.
Asking $5500. Interesting trades considered (bikes only, no weird stuff).
Now, if you happen to be one of these TD1 hoarders, but would be willing to help me with some significant parts, by all means, please contact me!
