After Triumph bit the dust in 1976, their race manager (named Les Williams) started a business specializing in spare parts for Rocket 3s and Tridents. The business was called LP Williams, and they not only supplied OEM spares, but they created go-faster parts, Slippery Sam replicas, and a ‘new’ version of the Trident that was supposed to be the ultimate street weapon. This bike was called the Legend.
In the 80s, Williams built himself a Legend prototype, and word of mouth spread. Though he apparently had hundreds of orders, he was only able to create 60 of them. For more information on the Legend, check out this owner’s report from The Vintage Motor Cycle Club.
This example is unfortunately a replica. The seller doesn’t mention anything about how it was done, just that it has 9,800 miles and it’s claimed to be in excellent condition. I’d ask some questions about where the replica parts were sourced from, but find this Legend Replica for sale here on Craigslist near Boston, Massachusetts for $7,500.
