My son's street chopper. Not a show bike, a budget bike. Triumph 500 hard tail frame, 79 motor, 73 wheels and hardware. Built this 21 years ago for his 16th year, and he's just restored and upgraded it.

Hello all, I would like to says thanks to all the members of this forum for all of the information I have received. I worked on this bike for the last two years when I could find time, I have found many solutions and guidance from many different members. I really need to post some of the observations and conclusions that I have made with multiple problems that occured during my journey......I will be posting some of my best observations in the appropriate threads...my ahh haa moments if you will! XSleo's sanding of the burrs on the clutch plates......genius!

I'm not sure if these pics are posting, I will repost if not......

 

[interested]

Got her mostly finished up!

Gotta mount the fender, but i put on about 15 miles last night.

Feels great!

Ketis, do you have a build thread? would love to see more pics.

 

[jsmith1107]

Great job considering the train wreck you said you started with. Many would have said the hell with it and just scrapped it.

Ketis, do you have a build thread? would love to see more pics.
