British Bikes / 1968 TR6R?
« on: October 02, 2007, 02:05:06 PM »
Hello,
I was recently reading Roy Bacons Triumph Twin restoration guide. In the models list in the back he has listed that TR6R's and TR6C's were produced during 1967-1968 and then again in 1971. My bike is stamped DU68446, and also TR6R above that. Which would make it fall into a 1968 TR6R? Is there something I am missing here, I have seen a few others and read some forums on these bikes, but is it a misprint and actually suppose to be just a TR6 or was there such a thing as a 1968 TR6R. Thank you....I am new to the whole Triumph scene and this is my first restoration.

British Bikes / Registering or obtaining a title?
« on: September 24, 2007, 02:10:55 PM »
Hello,
I live in Canada and recently went down to the US to buy a project bike (1968 Triumph TR6R). Before I went I obtained what little paperwork I could get through International Title Service. The guy I bought the bike from did not have a title but provided me a bill of sale. They allowed me to import the motorcycle into Canada since it was 15 years or older and all it required was a current registration slip (Which ITS gave me, out of alabama) and a bill of sale. Now here is my question, will I be able to register and insure this bike once I am finished with restoring it? I do have a Canadian customs form filled out allowing the importation and the paperwork from the border. Other than that I only have a current registration slip from Alabama (which apparantly doesnt count as a title) and a few bills of sale. I am curious if anyone can help me? and any advice how to obtain a legal title for this bike?
Thanks for the help

Hello,
I have a 1968 Triumph TR6 I need a tank for. I have found a "Vintage triumph trophy 500cc" tank. I was wondering if there is anyone that could tell me if this tank would be correct for my bike? The measurements are; Length is about 19 1/4" same as lenght of tunnel. Width is 2 3/8". Front mounting studs to rear mounting hole both are close to 18" and that is from center to center Studs Center to Center 4 1/2".  Here are a couple pictures. Thanks in advance.
