More Triumph Chopper

Set the tank, fender, oil tank and seat on to see how it'll look. The seat is pretty goofy right now. I've already stripped the cover and foam off. I'll trim the seat pan so the back is thinner and fits the fender. The new foam will be low profile and won't have the humps. Imagine narrow T bars and a sissy bar and I think I'm on the right track. 

Triumph Chopper in the Works

I've been out of pocket for the past 3 months with another educational pursuit, but now that I'm back in town, it's time to hit the projects again. My last post was looking for inspiration for my Triumph and I'd said that I didn't want to do a full blown chop, but I changed my mind and I've got a kick ass little project started. Here's a pic of where it's at. The front loop is from a 1970 Triumph. The hardtail is a Factory Metal Works creation. My 73 motor will bolt right up and is out being rebuilt by Lucas at Union Motorcycles here locally. The front end is an idea from Todd at Small City Cycles in Boise. The front end is from a 69 Honda CB350. It picks up that vintage Triumph front end look without the cost of one. Todd spun up a spacer on his lathe for me to make the whole thing work together. The front wheel is also from an old Honda.

I've got a tank, seat, oil bag, and some other goodies I'll post up pretty soon.
