Super rare. one of an estimated XX X,XXX big bore Tridents produced in Jack Wilson's Big Cycle in Dallas in the XXXX's. Stroker crank and big bore head was proprietary to Jack's shop, engine build was by Jon Minonno, times national champion in Superbike, drag racer and Bonneville record holder. Conversion was performed in the mid-XXXX's for the previous owner. Bike was placed in dry storage in late XXXX's until sold to current owner in XXXX. Custom drag bike style includes big bore engine, triple XXmm Amal carbs on custom intake and into Bub exhaust, custom rear wheel and low ratio gearing, custom side panels to clear carbs, turn signal delete. Bike is super fast with incredible torque. Electronic ignition, starts easily when tickled properly, does not smoke except at startup periodically, clutch engages smoothly and transmission shifts easily. Minor oil leaks typical to build. Bike currently has steering damper installed, no center stand. Bike previously serviced at Keith Martin's Big Cycle in Dallas, bike currently located in the Denver area. Odometer shows XX,XXX miles, believe to be accurate. Engine sounds great, rider, not garage (show) queen, current owner hopes bike does not go back into storage. Great bike with interesting history, guaranteed to leave Triumph XXX's and Nortons in its dust.Youtube link showing bike startup and acceleration: https://youtu.be/xMzSfkFX_Ds
