Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums Custom Corner Pics of a TBA chopper

Hi All,
I found these pics on a local R.A.T web site, pretty interesting work been done to it....






Interesting front forks and pipes, nice paint colour.

P.S. I don't know who owns it so can't answer any questions, just posted it for poll discussion really.

Really cool looking bike.

I've been trying to think of a way to make a custom rear end for my bike and the tail light and turn signals in that fender are pretty darn cool, I'm kinda upset that I never thought of doing it like that, now I can't be original.

(Must. Not. Bust. Newbie's. Chops.)

Yeah, that bike has been around for awhile. I stashed a couple pictures on my Picasa photo album but I can't get there from work. These pictures are better than the ones I have anyway. That front end is pretty cool. Actually there's a lot that's cool about it. I'd like to see the pipes go 2-into-1 and into a supertrapp.

Cool bike. I love the word custom. Not too sure of the front homemade springer. Great color and pipes!

I like it but think the stock dash has to go. Just looks wierd sitting out there.

Very interesting pipes, fork and bars. Not too over the top. Changed just enough to give it a nice style.

Any bike with that much time spent on modding it, is OK in my book.

Definitely different. Everyone's tastes vary. I would have liked the pipes to follow the more traditional Triumph bends and path but come to one side as his are. The two into one would work for me as well.

That frontend is interesting, not my cup, but I was wondering if you guys thought he raked the frontend some more? There is some intricate metal work in that front wheel where the axle is and the brake caliper is located. Someone really put some time into that project.

I like the inset rear tailight in the Triumph triangle shape.

I wonder if he's using the stock airbox?

Definitely needs to loose the stock dash and go with Runner's tank mods. Do ya'll think the frame is stock?

BEAUT. luv that rear fender.

the rear is sweet. I like that look a lot.
The front however....I don't care for so much.

The exhaust...I don't think I could ride with pipes breathing right up my butt like that. I guess I like longer pipes.

Far out! Especially that front end!

Love the rear end, but can't say i dig the pipe work. Overall, one of the best one's i've seen though. Just under the one sitting in my garage.

Pretty cool overall but that top pipe looks like a bad burn waiting to happen.

Like the front fender.

He did a great job of hiding all the wiring, cables and lines from the handlebars, that would have been a big expensive feat!

He must have been very skilled or lots of money to do all of that.

Very cool.

Wonder how the speedo drive is rigged.

Maybe that's just a tach in the dash. I have a buddy who isn't running a speedo on his chopper.

I like the pipes; those have GOT to be loud. Anybody know where you can get colored chains like that? I'd love a red one for my bike...

Lee

You could try using coloured chain wax.

I think there is some in red.

What kind of forks are those?

Home-made forks, Same as springer but with the springs down the bottom end!

I have a set like that on a 70 BSA that are not home made but don't remember who made them anymore.

that's a real neat & tidy job, especially the bars & rear fender - I like it..

Looks a bit like this Vegas Jackpot custom I tried recently.

I don't know, there's an awful lot of work there, Runner posted this bike and I like his much better. I think I'd like it better with harley style springer and stock pipes.
