10lb in a 5lb sack

Here it is, I know it a bit late but its better than never. This is the triumph frame with the BSA motor in it. This thing was a super tight fit and as a result the motor mounts needed to be able to come completely off the frame to not take up any space to be able to squeeze the motor in.I utilized the
stock lower mounting sleeve with some precision cutting and calculations, and fabbed the front and rear mounts from scratch. There's less than 1/4 inch to spare in the loop from front to rear, very very tight fit.

Chalk up one more for the team

My brother just picked up this snazzy little sportster. Slapped some new bars on it and he's been riding the shit outta it. This fine machine was a craigslist score. 69' sportster, hunt magneto, 21" up front, 16" out back, simple and down to the point.

4 sale

Time to let go of my 1965 BSA Rocket 650. This is a very fun bike but I just don't ride it often like it should be. If you or someone you know wants hit me up.

Sunday easy living

Today was a very eventful day, bike show in Costa Mesa, ride down to the coast, ferry across the channel, friend hit by car, blurry night time tank stands.

Stow-aways ehh

Probably not the best place to build your home. There were still eggs in there too, now I'm guessing I've got wasps in the shop somewhere. I'll post some pics of the whole project its a trump frame with BSA power plant.

One piece at a time...

Like Johnny Cash said, but it will cost me alot more than a dime. Way back, BSA made this V-twin style bike, only 1600 were produced from 1936' to 38'. You can imagine that now there's only a handful left and to find a complete one is almost impossible but I will make it happen even if it is piece by piece. I've got a good start with an original front end complete and in extremely nice condition.
