Thunderbird 51 from sweden

Hi
I´m building a Thunderbird -51 chop during the long winter in sweden

here is a crappy picture from first mock up...



And Yes I guess you seen this setup before :-) .... but I love it

Schysst

I´m not going to renovate engine or gearbox because it was fully functional when I rode it last summer as a original Thunderbird -51 and it was renovated by the previous owner.

Tank is a NOS Banana that I found cheap at a swap meet... Rear mudguard is replica wassell from Barons

Here are picture with tins primed

I´m just going to paint mudguard and tank in close to original blue metallic. Got some help from local paint shop to found that a Huyndai color was spot on.



even worse picture from my phone :-(

Planning for some flames on this side of the bike



and some other stuff on this side



And I also polished some of the aluminium,

That`s gonna look really nice!

hell yes.
good job and good start man.
my first bike was a 1952 Thunderbird. i kick myself for ever getting rid of it.
helluva bike you got there.

ser astufft ut!
smaken är ju som tur är olika,men jag hade nog skippat flames och kört samma mönster på båda sior för en cleanare look.

Tanks for the comments ...... about the non symmetric paint job .....yeaah partly it´s becuase I couldnt decide what to to do .... hopefully it will turn out good in the end

Jäkligt snyggt! More Triumph bobbers to the people! Har själv en -57a, kul hoj att köra! ( eng. Got a -57 T110 myself, fun bike to ride )

Been wating for parts so long but finally some arrived and I could proceed...

Also changed the paint work mainly because I polished through it ... :-)



Awesome seat from Bear parts also arrived fabricated a front mount and it looks so good.



Now I´m wating for my chrome parts to be ready 1 month late now .... my new front rim are waiting 21" wm1 to be laced.

Very nice indeed

great jop, i think, its verry cold in sweden, if i take a look on your first pictures, you are shaking well with the cam

I'm digging it!

Looks real good! Hit me up if you want to get rid of the chain guard in the original pics.

It´s been a long waiting for the chrome but ..... now its here

adding some small parts while I wait for the front wheel being laced to my new chromed hub



hopefully I will be riding my sickle during next week ......

Very nice! It`s pissing with rain though, shame to take it out and spoil that new chrome
Where did you have the chrome done? Expensive?
