Nothing for the America platform yet.

I came across this bolt on hardtail the other day on the Acme site that said it fitted any triumph and was wondering the same thing. I am overseas for a while so can't check my speedy to see if it would, good price though.

I would like to try and get a plunger frame so I get a bit of suspension

It doesn't say what year it's for. The lower attachments points look like they could be for a Hinckley Bonneville...

That hardtail is not for the modern twins but for the old frames before the oil in frame. 1963 through 1970.

Yeah kinda thought that would be the case, would be great if someone has made a bolt on one (but I can see there is no real place to bolt it onto the main frame and the lines would probably look a bit naff). Not quite ready to go the point of no return and chop my frame up just yet.

Me feels a chop project on an old bike coming on
