Today I finally received something I had bought,

I was thinking of fitting the motor to my Santee chopper frame, but after bit of a look, and I'll get it inspected as well, but the frame looks straight, so looks like I'll be building a Triumph SM with a bolt on hardtail, this could be fun

Cool, looks like everything you need for a good start!

Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

Looks like a fun project....never saw the bolt on hard tails, do they look good? Building a TA with mono mount suspension now then looking to do a full air ride with air bag...trying to stay away from ridged mounts, back can't handle it any more...LOL
Keep us posted would Love to see pics on your build...

First thing I thought when I saw the picture:

Wow, I hope they numbered the parts well and that the instructions are not in Chinese! Looks like an Ikea project!

Enjoy ... Wish you some good fun putting it all together with a touch of your own flair to it!

Keep us posted!

Thanks to everyone for the encouragement, I have no intension of putting this together in less than 12 months, so it will be a work in progress for awhile, and I'll post pics as I go, just another toy to play with while building my Virago trike at the same time,
The hardtail bolt on rear will have to be made & once completed, I'll post quite a few pics so you'll all get a good idea how to build 1
Regarding the written instructions, probably good I cant read Chinesse as it may turn into a lethal weapon if I could

So as it progresses, I'll show more pics
