You got alotta work ahead of ya, but that's not a bad starting point at all!!

Good luck with the bike, and stay the Hell away from the fags!

(meaning CIGARETTES, of course! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif)

Great score and Ihave to say you got a pretty good deal on it too. Keep us posted.

[=mike=]

that will make a pretty cool little " fonzie chopper " good luch man , and good luck with dodging the cancer bullet http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

[choprods]

Yeah- anything that for sure will kill ya, cant be as cool as the bike maybe killin ya! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gifI vote for the bike!

[Edselow]

Well, did you get the engine, too?

Talk to Ray,
He's got a DAMN COOL unit Triumph...

Nice score man, real good deal. THose frontends can go for over $100 just by themselves.

The only thing I'd do is get rid of that boxy 70's gas tank...I never liked'em. But that's just my opinion.

If you need any parts, let me know.

Nice buy! I a currently working on a Trump chopper with a friend of mine. Spent most of last night fabbing up some parts, and making her look right. I will post some photos of our project just as soon as I figure out how to either scan some, or borrow a digital camera. Don't know of your parts availability where you are, but if you need anything or any advice, feel free to let me know. I don't know everything, but have built many bikes and have seen a lot of the problems already.
Good luck man.

anything has to be better than them cancer sticks, you did well on the frame....good luck!

[Twisted Okie]

Great Score! That will be a fun project and a ball to ride when your finished. Good luck.

Wow! Looking good! I just started a project like this too... I have it all apart right now and I'm fixing up the motor... It's a Bonneville 650 motor with a Morgo bigbore kit and a Lucas belt drive with dry clutch... I got it all with the project bike... And a title too!! Very important overhere in Holland when you're building a bike yourself... If you don't have a title you'll have to put it through vehicle inspection before you can insure it and get it on the road... Your always fucked when you show up with crazy bobbers and choppers... Too much stuff with it that doesn't pass...

thanks for the kind words guys. im pretty excited about it. only problem is, i dont really know jack shit about bikes, but i know how to fab things, so it might work. the first thing i want to get are some wheels and tires for it. then im going to start looking for an engine. i dont want anything huge, just something to putt me along, ya know?
