First Project

Hi Guys new to the site and this is going to be my first Triumph project. I have been looking for one for quite some time and I managed to pick up a "started" chopper conversion on what seems to be a bit of a mix of early 70's Triumph parts and some aftermarket.

Tim.

Wow! That bike is gorgeous just like it sits. Is it a runner?

Thanks guys, as it sits it's not a runner, that is just a mock up that the seller put together. Engine has been rebuilt, although I do think I'm going to dive into it just to double check a few things. Other than that it's Carburation and wiring that are going to be the major obsticles...I hope.

Here's a few more pics of how I got it, it's now been taken apart and moved into my basement (gotta love understanding fiances!) so I can get to work on it in the cold winter months.

note: it's a '70, you can see that the front mounts are not yet installed; hence the "tilt".

The pics are just of a mock up that the seller put together when it was posted online. Now that I have it at home and dismantled I'm going to start to take some pics of how it is now and the build.
