I'm not sure if we've seen this already, but it's worth pointing out:

That is sharp looking. Not of a fan of the polished tank look, but ti still a nice bike. It is good to see a custom built bike with the new Triumph motor in it.

New Triton

Nice to see this bike again, I was the builder of this bike in Brisbane before I moved abroad, I was manufacturing Slimline frames, this frame was made specifically for this bike, the top section of the frame about the size of the gas tank was removable for top engine access, note the Tachometer drive timing cover. the front brake is a 260mm4LS Yamaha, I currently manufacture these for Yamahas and also one for the 7-3/8" roadholders. complete ready to bolt on.

I used a genuine Yamaha front brake on this bike, good brakes that arent rooted are hard to come by, so I'm now manufacturing these brakes, one of which is sold as a kit to bolt straight in to Norton forks, I'm also doing alloy tanks but at this stage only for Commando's
I'm also doing some Twin Leading Shoe rear brakes that are popular with the Cafe racer set, not much in the way of nice rear brakes around.
