69 triumph chopper

When I was out at the triumph shop looking for a new cylinder the old dude was showing me all this stuff. The guy has a goldmine.
Anyway to make a long story short, he pulled the plastic tarp back and I see a durfee girder then a walla a 69 Bonnie. It was chopped in 69 fresh off the showroom floor
and has been a one owner bike till the triumph guy got it.
She still rides just as it did in the 70s and needs nothing. It will soon be for sale once it gets a service and bike wash. stay tuned!

What you dont want to find when you are boring a cylinder for a 56 triumph

1983 XLS sportster


This is my wife's new bike.
Should I hardtail it or keep the swingarm? Wassal tank or alien tank?
Narrow springer or duel disk fork?
Too much to think about right know. I have a cam to install.

The "Worm" Revamped

Some of you may recognize this bike as the "Worm" from when it had a green metalflake tank and white bars.

But Sportster Jim was really tired of everyone calling it a Rat-Bike. So one day he came riding into the shop with this old Powell skateboard on his back and said he wanted it painted like the deck with a bunch of parts powdercoated.

So, I started to take it apart to modify and finish a few things while it was at paint and powdercoat. But then we decided to polish the engine covers and put new acorn hardware all over it. So, I had to lace some stainless spokes in his wheels and have Steve O mold the frame while it was apart.

I don't think anyone will be calling it a Rat-Bike for a while.
