My current bike is a 68 bonnie chopper with, 22" over springer, reverse head,Avon 250 rear tire,foot clutch/brake (operated by same pedal),custom frame,etc. All made by me.I recently made a custom T100 frame for a friend of mine.I got To ride the donor bike before i stripped it and was impressed by the power. Now I want one just taller.I was thinking of using an America or a Speedmaster.
Does the Thruxton have the forward controls also?
Hear is a pic of the new frame. That is my 68 in the back.

I forgot to ask.Does any one know what size rear tires those 3 models have , and does any one have a slightly wrecked one for sale? Preferably just some front end damage.

Wow that is a nice piece of work on that frame..

The old '68 is pretty radical too..

I think the Thruxton will have rear set controls. The rear tyre is only a skinny 130 or so.

The BA and Speedmaster have about a 170 tyre on a 15" rim.

It will spit and sputter but hasn't cut off on me yet.
I was planning on making some type of cover for the stacks
in case of rain but I haven't Yet.
