My new bike(kinda)

[jrod]

Ok just to give a little history on this bike. My dad built this bike years ago, painted and everything himself. The bike has not ran since 94 and he was going to sell it dirt cheap since he lost intrest in it, so i snag it up. I already got a new motor coming for her, so i cant wait to grab the bars and hear her sing. To my knowledge it is a 70's hardtail triumph frame, and mix and match yamaha-honda forks, gauges, brakes and wheels. The motor that goes in it is a 750 boneville Truimph engine.

That looks like it will be very cool when it's back together.

definitely needs longer front forks


my brother bought a chopper years ago with the same sort of story- a guy had bought a new yamaha (litre+, can't remember exactly what it was) and built a custom chopper frame, painted it pearl white with ghost flames, etc. Then he couldn't get it to run right, so it sat for years. My bro bought it for like $200 and found an unhooked alternator wire that was the problem
