got a 68 trophy sports. makes life very tolerable. bought it for a dollar a cc in 72 and had it fully restored in 2012. put 12,000 north texas miles on it since then. -gilpin 3-8-16
Paul ... the factory color for a 1968 TR6-c is Riviera Blue ... but an old friend (now deceased) painted the tank for me. He noted at the time that is was not 'really' Riviera Blue but more like a 1965 Triumph shade called "Pacific Blue" I liked it and was very pleased with the vivid outcome. I don't have paint codes but I hope that helps. Thanks for the view and your comments. The bike is even nicer today since both wheels re-laced with new SS spokes. Gee ... with 7,200+ views ... I'm going viral! Mike
Six5Zero Thanks for the information on the tank color. I'm going to try and get as close to your color as possible. I'm up in Canada and have a '68 TR6C as well. These are very rare up here and I hope someday it will look as beautiful as yours.
Always liked the lines of the single carb TR-6 better than the Bonneville. Beautiful bike. Keep it.
Why would the lines of the bike be different?
Agreed
Beautiful bike !! Throw away number plate and you can put it back in showroom again!! Excellent condition!!
