is this a original triumph frame?if yes, have you worked on it streching or so?

[hatch]

Looks great!!....I wish I was that far along. Nice choice of pieces on the motor. Do you know how many degrees of front end rake you have? And would it be possible to get a measurement of the front forks from the pivot hole in the rear leg to the bottom of the lower triple tree? I've got a long springer and thought about cutting it down a little bit. Right now my frame is 35 degrees rake. Thanks...hatch

no, it is a custom frame from the ground up.

[FoMoCo_MoFo]

Hatch,
I'll bring my angle finder home from work and get you the info tonight.

it actually has the stock rake with a 5" longer than stock fork.

the frame has been made 4" longer than stock in the front center and 3 inch longer in rear.

Also.. since no other smart asses have spoken up...

It looks like your fender may drag the ground. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

There, I said it.

[FoMoCo_MoFo]

yeah, the band saw is broken, so there no cutting the fender until tonight

[stolenmojo]

Sam, Us engineering types call that fender "self machining" it'll be alright.

Hatch,
The rake on the frame is 28 degrees & the fork is 26.5" from bottom of lower triple tree to rocker hole

& for the other dude that PM's me the Oil tank is from Bernier Vintage Motorcycles on the east coast... one of the dudes from Choppahead hiped me to it on a WTB I posted last month

[greaseball]

Can't help but notice the nice new wires poking outta the block....
Where'd ya get the 'lectrical for the beast?

[FoMoCo_MoFo]

the new electrical and some of the "speed" parts stuff came from my buddy's dad who used TT & mile race triumphs and nortons up until a few years ago. he has boxxes of the shit, but wont give them up freely.

once he saw my motor apart and cleaned/polished he offered up some stuff... he also hooked me up with that rear OE fender Which I am going to cut the shit out of...

Thanks for the help....let's see another pic when you get the motor back in.
