My 1950 Triumph 6T Chop/Build

[Torch]

Hey, all I'm seeing is shit getting taken apart.
there's a good chance I'll be buying a basket case off of you soon.

[CRFyou]

Hahahaha!

I haven't even begun to get frustrated with this yet.

Plus basket cases aren't worth much.

Man... I'm regretting the confidence I displayed in the first post of this thread.

I procrastinated some more. Effing around with my '59 Triumph. I'm such an idiot!

Still trying to get this ready for Born Free 4. It hasn't been easy without Keith Moore.

There's no way I would even be this far without Chris (Chopper88). He's been an amazing friend and assistant. He pretends to work, and really takes my crap to chrome, powdercoat, machine shops, etc. He's a good man and has a smoking hot wife who totally wants my junk.

ChicoD has also been awesome. I could not have sourced so many missing parts without his personal stash and his wicked rad connections.

Tony from Classic Cycles has also been a great help.

No idea why I'm thanking people when the bike is still a ways away... But it has taken a lot of work to get it to this point...


Prepping the engine for a later 650 crank(thanks Tony).



This iron head needed repair and some sandblasting love.



Used our machine shop to make custom sump plates.


Rechromed fork legs. New bushings.


Tranny ripped apart to get all new bushings/seal.


Head repaired and looks aluminum now.



Chrome.




Filling mystery holes in the frame with Chris.





I went nuts and cut the cap off of an unusable BSA 441 Victor tank. Then cut my British wassell. The 2 will become one. After I cut down the flange on the BSA cap.





Found a random tail light lens. Was going to use it on my '59. Thought it would go better on my '50. Making a bulletproof bracket. Triumphs will let you know if you make something too weak...




Slight mock up. Just got the rear tire in. So I can get the fender mounted. Then blow shit apart for powdercoating.

I believe his wife is still waiting for a buyer.

It's not open. If you need parts, call Tony or Andy at Classic Cycles.

Mocking up. Testing the color. Pops huge in sunlight.

Looking good, Brandon. Do you think you'll have it ready by the 30th?

Thanks man...

I think I can make it as long as nothing catastrophic happens. At the very least, it rolls, and I'll Fred Flintstone it down there.

The people burning me are the fucking chrome shop and powder coater. Lagging ass mother fuckers. Chroming threads and shit...

Born Free 4 is June 30th. Where no matter what I do to my bike, it pales in comparison to all the sick bikes there.

Lookin' good

[Isgro]

Looking great.

Running an open primary.

FUCK! This thing is battling me. Nothing just goes together without fitament issues.

I asked my machine shop to give me 10 thousanths on the oil pressure bushing. He says, "That's alot bro, are you sure?"

I say, "Don't bro me if you don't know me. I used a micrometer."

He clears 5 and tells me that was the standard size.
I needed 10 mother fucker!
