I now own a custom Hinckley Triumph. It was buit and purchased from one of the people who run Biltwell. There are two features of the bike on ChopCult, which I will post at the bottom. I'm currently wiring the bike for your basic hand controls, since it came set up with just a head and brake light. More updates to follow soon. Below are the pictures from the ChopCult feature and a few of the bike in it's present state. The second link is the original build process for the bike. And yes it's spelled British "Steal", because it refers to the good fortune and good deals that fell into the lap of the builder

That "mini" king/queen seat was made by Duane Ballard. It's really comfortable, and well crafted. The hump tends to support my tailbone, so it works for me. With that said if I hit a hole I'm gonna feel it all the way up my spine. Also, it weighs in at 420lbs. It is more nimble and by feel, much faster than my Speedmaster. That being said, it is very very fun to run around.

The bike has a smaller stance than it looks. The pegs on this bike bring my legs back about 5" compared to my old Speedy.

You should rightfully be proud of that bike !
With my back and knee I doubt I could ride a hardtail more than a few miles these days unfortunately.

I rode about and hour on the freeway today, and I can feel it in my back. Regular roads, while trying to avoid major holes and bumps, it's enjoyable.

Some are in the frame, and some are yet to be hidden under the tank.
