~~~Show me your BRIT bobber!!!!!!!!!!......

Maurice, I ordered a 930 Amal Concentric from Truth at Choppahead today. I mentioned possibly steppin up to the 32mm because I've got the 750 kit on it, but he said the 30mm will be fine. (Thanks truth!)

I still reeeeaaaallly like your Trump...why do you want to get rid of the dual Mikunis? Just for looks? Or is it not running like it should?


Baytowngreaser, I'm not sure if I'll bring the bike to the drags...maybe if I can get it running right and can find someone to haul it for me, I'll bring it. I dunno.

 

I'm basically building my bike using the SAME parts that BoydWho used on his build... '56 frame, '53 rigid rear, Unit motor... but I'll go with a stock front end and drag style bars...

Anyone save a pic of what I had mocked up? My pics are gone on my work computer.
Sam.

 

What brand and year range are these bikes? I never seen these before. Its making me want one.

 

I can't stop thinking about these bikes.

This one will be WAY different next year when I finally build it. It's pretty neat as is though.

1953 Triumph Pre Unit Factory Hardtail.

I want to build it as simple as possible. I know that it is a '73 Tiger 5 spd motor with a 4 spd in it. It also has a Morgo 750 kit.
I just don't know where the cylinder head came from... It's still not running like I want it to.
Now, I wanna have a good, rebuilt cylinder head with one carb on it. No h***le with adjusting two carbs and all that ****.

It runs ****in' hot too... Too hot I think. Especially when I use the ****tailshaker 2 in 1 pipe. It has a smaller diameter. I might go back to the 1 3/4" drag pipes.

For the rest it's great! Handles well, brakes are pretty good, chain doesn't rub the tire, the Hunt mag works great now.
When the bike has been standing still for like 4 weeks, I kick it twice and it's runnin'!!

If I keep having engine trouble I might get me a brand new one from Wes at Four Aces Cycle...

Maurice

 

finally got my mag sorted out on this one so it should be done in a few weeks

been enjoying my 68 so much its hard to stop ridin' and work on it

 

The coolest Trumpet I've ever seen. I think that's 3' of backbone stretch.

It makes me moist.

 

Here is my (almost) stocker '66 Hornet...

 

Very interesting...some of the coolest bikes on the internet are right here!!...whoda thunk?

 

Dammit! Just about the time I get calmed down, you guys do another bobber post and I get all jiggy again.

B***, your scoot is about the coolest I ever did see.

 

Here's mine... the bottom rails will eventually be level with the ground. I also have a better looking old Pock-o tank that I narrowed...
Sam.

 

I know its not a bobber, but at least its british..

 

here's one I almost smashed into a fence

 

Gooch I've always loved that bike, did ya finally sell it? I wanted to bid on it so bad, no money.

 

here's mine... It's definetly a chopper not a bobber, but what the hell. I think it's destined to never get finished.

 

FoMoCo, what kinda of tire are you running out in back?? also, are your rims powdercoated or rattlecanned. this is a cheap build, and dont want to unlace the wheels to powdercoat/paint so im just going to scuff up the rims tape off the spokes and rattlecan it with some lawnmower paint or something.

 

Damn Gooch, thats a sweet bike! Got any pic of it from the front?

 

FoMoCo...

I still got that cover for you man, you need to PM or email me your shipping address!

DAMN that is sweet!!!

 

I think Hatch is right.

Anyhow, here's mine. I didn't build it. Hell I didn't even take this picture but MAN its the most fun I have had in awhile.

I can't say enough about the guy who built it. (Chris B from Sherborn, MA) Super nice guy who does some GREAT stuff.

I've been chompping at the bit for the past 2 days waiting for a new clutch cable to show up.

I never did like breaking things.....

 

heres mine...i know its not a bobber, but its all i got. i guess its sort of a dirt tracker, but its street legal and stuff. these pics are a month or so old. it has a seat, plate and head light now.

 

Pop's Trump back in the day. Sorry bout pic quality.....

I'm running an Avon in the back and my rims are powdercoated, but I have done a few rattle can jobs that have looked alright. just take the time to mask all the **** off right and most will never know

THANKS BRO!

 

Otto - when's that photo from? You got any more flicks of your pops ride? That rocks!

 

Sorry. Only pic I have. I think it was mid 1970's when the pic was taken. Black on chrome.....hard combo to beat. The bike was a pretty good runner as well.

 

I love the little tire and wheel up front with the big boys out back! That is something you don't see often.
