(lack of progress) pics *TRIUMPH* o/t?

So I moved into a shitty 1 bedroom apartment,
with no garage space-
So I've been tinkering with the bike,
a LITTLE bit anyways.

Thought you guys might dig some pics-

 

Hell, that thing looks finished to me.


What are your plans for it?

 

Well-
I'm changing the whole rear-end,
I don't dig the sissybar, license/taillight mount, p-pad, OR the flat fender-

Then there's the white stripe running down the rear fender,
and underneath the seat.
I need to extend that into the tank/paint the tank
put the 50's pin-up tiger girl water decal on the sides of the tank
(I ended up getting two decals instead of one, so I'm putting 1 on both sides)

But I outta post a few more pics....
(unfortunately I can't take a picture to save my life)

 

You can't hardly tell, but the primary has had the swiss-cheese treatment,
and it's got a mikuni carb-
(Which I'm thinkin' about taking off?)

I suppose I've done quite a bit to it already,
I shoulda posted pics when I got it.
if I had a decent space to work on it and I was willing to make it un-rideable (again) I'd probably be farther along with it...
oh well.

Been tryin' to decide if I want to leave the dogbone risers on or not...?

I MIGHT just get apes and forget about it...

 

I dig the pipes!

 

That thing ROCKS! When did you get it?

Chandler-
Thanks man,
just header wrap, bell tips, and alot of exhaust tubing welded together-

Jesse-
I got it maybe... 6 months ago?

Maybe a little longer?

It was already pretty solid when I got it though,
had the hardtail, belt-drive and 16" rear....
BUT-
The little details were ALL wrong
(IMHO)
The paint wasn't to MY liking, the handlebars were TOO wide,
the tires were "crotch-rocket racer" style,
along with alot of other MINOR things...

And this pic is my fav-

 

That riser/ handlebar setup looks a little busy

 

[if you have a one bedroom apartment that sounds like a fine garage.Just sneak it in at night and sleep on your couch until you have it to your satisfaction.Probably wouldn't want to firing it up inside.

 

Well greaseball, I like a lot of the bike the way it is but can certainly respect your desire to make changes.

I would definitely revise the riser arrangement after seeing that pic. It's a little funky.

The Mikuni and the belt drive are great additions. I know a lot of folks won't view them as trad but they're good for performance and dependability.

<I don't dig the sissybar, license/taillight mount, p-pad, OR the flat fender>

If you're gonna dump those things, gimme a holler. I might be able to use them on something.

But all in all, I think that's a cool bike that will only get better with some detailing.

 

Yea, the only problem with that idea is
it's a single apartment with TWO people living here.
Which is fun...? Maybe?

Oh well...

Just scored a KILLER seat today too,
I'll post pics when it's further along....
