triumph progress

well first, my sportster's belt broke while i was in Arizona for the Love Cycles 4 party

but once i got home i started working on my triumph frame some more. these clevises are for the bottom tubes of the bolt-on style hardtail

 here the hardtail is all mocked up

 welded together

the rear wheel is taken apart for chrome, so here the bike is mocked up, itll be a roller here soon! i think i might be putting the engine in tomorrow

new backbone for the triumph frame

 i started modifying the triumph front loop, the backbone was pretty beat, so i braced the frame, and cut it out (you can see it sitting at the base of my frame)

 the new piece was bent and mocked up, but before welding it in, i drilled it out for the bung. thats where the top of the hardtail will bolt up to.

 here it is all metal finished. i still need to finish some more parts of the frame before its ready for paint. i just got my axle plates today, so ill be building the rear section this weekend.

 my good buddy Nick hooked me up with this king and queen seat, so itll be going on the harley, im going to build some brackets to bolt the seat down, as well a new sissybar that fits snug against the seat-back. i made some new bars for the harley today too, but i forgot to take a photograph

thanks for checking up!

Sporty pullbacks

I built some pullbacks to skinny up my sporty

Radius turning tool

I decided it was time I finish building this tool for my lathe

Golden Spike Bottle Openers

i made these bottle openers out of old railroad spikes, after heating em up and mashing em with a hammer, they are brass plated. they're for sale in my store

i only have one left! but ill be making another batch soon.

thanks!

Triumph jig

I decided to rebuild the back end of my triumph frame. After building the jig, I realized how far off the frame was. The guy who built this tail section in the 60s must've been pretty high when he built it!
