Intro and Question

[Randy D]

With some of the killer bikes i've seen and the vast amount of knowledge here, I feel a little out of place being primarily a Hot Rod and Custom car guy. I have had a few motorcycles over the years and am currently putting together a BSA A65 bobber with the help of Irritant and Triumph Terror. I owe those two fellers a bunch for the parts and help. Maybe i will just tea bag 'em for their help?! hahahaaaa Anyways, can anyone tell me if the rear axle nuts on a triumph (using a triumph hub on mine) are that crazy-ass whitworth thread pitch? And where can i find one? I need one in a bad way. Thanks for any info in advance.

If I had one, I sure wouldn't sell it to the likes of you. hahaha :D

Hi Randy!

I'm in the same boat. My bike knowledge has always been focused in other aspects of the hobby. I'm hear to learn too.

[TRIUMPH TERROR]

Man I know where there is a extra axle nut just got find some one whos tough enough to come and get it.LOL Its on the back of this badfo's scoot being used as a spacer.That tea baggin shit must be some kinda Shelby county right of passage for you males or somethin.That shit dont fly down south here. Ha Ha Ha I just found out yesterday Sun the 19th Marion co fairgrounds is Buzz Walneck swap meet there is usually some brit stuff there.Dave from Lville maybe comin and I will see if he's got one and can bring it,if nothin else I will give you the nut off mine.

HAHAHAA Thanks a lot Chad! It looks like a 20 TPI pitch, but i cant tell for sure. Looks damn close if it aint. I may just take a trip up to the not so local hardware store tomorrow and buy one to give it a try. I may just stop by some redneck's place of employment and drop off some shiny parts for him to try, too.

[TRIUMPH TERROR]

My neck aint red,But I do like shiny stuff though.You northern yankees keep on tellin yourself the south aint gonna rise again.Lol

I am probably the worlds worst about taking pics of my iron... So, i went out and kinda stuck stuff where it should go and snapped a couple. I have some neat lights for it, too. I will post a pic of em when i get them mounted. The headlight is really unique and i hope it works with the bike. Other stuff is pretty standard stuff. I know some folks don't care for the sporty tank on a british bike, but i think it looks good on it. I made the rigid section out of some heavy wall DOM tubing. I have another engine that is just about ready to go. I am really having fun with this bike and am already thinking about what i want to do with the next one.... Or i should finish up my Dad's '60 sportster i started on a couple years ago.
