    Triumph motorcycle

    Anybody on here know about old Triumph bikes? Got some parts from a garage cleanout I did and wanna sell them but need to find out more about them. I know they're from late 70's or early 80's but that's it

    Even if you don't sell on Ebay it is a great resource for research.

    Triumph motorcycle

    True, thanks. Found out it's a 1969 Triumph that the parts came off of. Excited to see what parts for that sell for now.

    What kinda parts do you have?

    I think there's a pretty decent turnover with guys restoring those old oil leakers. You might do very well if you want to take the time to do eBay, where you will find the serious restorers. (Who are willing to offer the serious $$!)

    Good luck!!

    Quite a few! Pretty much most of the motor and exhaust, disassembled but majority of it's there. Pedal and kickstand, gas tank and more that I have no clue what it is. Motorcycles isn't one of my strong points lol. Wish I knew more about what parts were what. It'd make selling it alot easier lol

    Post some photographs! There's a few of us on SMF who are motorcycle freaks. We might be able to help identify parts for you.

    Got any idea why the bike was taken apart?

    I'm a Jap bike guy; but with their clothes off they're pretty much the same.

    If you Ebay them be prepared for international interest so you will need to decide if you want to ship outside the USA. Some guys outside the US might buy but use a service to ship so you don't have to worry about it.

    I've used the ebay international shipping several times and experienced no problems so far. Mike.
