  • Location: Pasadena, TX

  • Condition: Used

  • Year: 1938

  • Mileage: 910

The 38 has been restored back to original condition.

Replaced both fenders with original sheet metal and since it had wrong cylinders, ended up rebuilding the entire top end and transmission (all new gears). Approx 1100 miles since rebuild. Bottom end was correctly rebuilt in 90. This is an early “E” Model and has early heads. The 1938

Sales Brochure and late 37 Enthusiast show the early heads with the plugs. It has the narrow primary with belt drive. I have small spacers between the inner and outer primary to allow for some cooling/venting. As seen on early 38 models, the tool box mounting holes have the block type mounting instead of circular swage mounting.

Correct front end with #3 front legs. I did a LOT of research as I was build. I did a LOT of research as I was building this and there is always some kind disagreement with the experts on different details. This is one of my favorite bikes to ride and only selling it because I don't have enogh time to enjoy her. I built this bike to ride. The only reproduction

parts are the air horn, exhaust system, brake switch, parkerized nuts and bolts, gas caps, and saddlebags. Left the pinstriping on the rims from the 90 restoration.

The Tanks do not have decals they were painted by hand by an artist. Great running bike with some typical oil weeping from top end.

1965 Norton Atlas 745cc Air Cooled Twin for Sale

It is still a low mileage mostly original bike even has the STD size factory dished top pistons for low compression are still in their noticed them when I decarbonized the top end also that is the original seat covering in place.

Here is a list of repairs and Up-grades that I have done since I owned the bike:6 start oil pump drive, cam chain

replaced, mag chain replaced, oil distribution seal for crank changed, gear box sprocket changed, solid state voltage regulator, Boyer Dual coil, 1968 Commando distributor in place of magneto with electronic ignition now starts with key. Bob Newby primary belt drive best on the market, cost $780 eliminated oil leaks from the badly designed steel primary cover and as an added benefit bike has less vibration also changed to the newer laminated style stator.

Norvil pushrod seal conversion insures clutch stays dry. Clutch now has a sweet take up and very light lever pull. Original paint is still on frame and has rebuilt Norton Roadholder forks. Single monobloc amal #389 in place of original

dual carbs. Dual leading front brake plate from early Commando a must for such a great handling motorcycle. Battery replaced this time last year Bike is ready to ride needs nothing, looks beautiful good chrome and paint , starts first kick and hardly leaks any oil.

Some low points that could use some attention but are only cosmetic. Typical Atlas crack in rear fender. Original chrome on rims has some pitted mostly on rear wheel, but the tires have a lot of life left in them.

For sale this stunning Triumph X75.

I bought this bike a year ago fully restored as you see it and have only ridden it 16 miles. The bike starts first kick and you can see from the pictures it's in excellent condition. It hasn't been ridden much so probably needs brakes clutch etc. adjustments. Everything works, matching numbers, a great investment.
