its working great.
i put 5 inch springs on it. i actually like the stance. it gives a little flex,but not too much

texas rattler · 05-06-2012, 04:52 PM

that trumpit is fine!!!

BTS13 · 05-06-2012, 05:56 PM

thanks fellers.
i cant (and wont) take all the credit.
i had alot of friends help me with parts,locating parts,etc.
my buddy Rob has been helping alot with the mechanicals of the bike as well as alot of the electrical.plus he has a "real" shop,and not a living room,which makes life a little easier.
im in love with it though.
it was well worth the wait to me.

BTS13 · 05-06-2012, 10:16 PM

ok,thanks,should be ok for me then, i'm about 180 lbs.
even "running rough" it has a nice note to it,the triumph growl.

BTS13 · 05-11-2012, 05:10 PM

well.....
IT'S HOME!

rode it 35 miles home from the shop. mechanically it ran real good. little elec. issue but i know what it needs (thanks Ken).
it's a blast to ride.
super freakin happy.
it's done for now. in the late fall im tearing it down to do some stuff iv'e been itching to do to it.
i appreciate all who helped. thank you.
i have a video of my buddy riding it,but cant seem to get it loaded,or even download on my crap computer.

BTS13 · 05-11-2012, 05:14 PM

couple my friend took.

76tri · 05-11-2012, 07:11 PM

Loffer · 05-11-2012, 07:18 PM

Its sweet. What are those pipes?

BTS13 · 05-11-2012, 07:55 PM

Thanks Jason. it feels nice to be!

Ken,i really have no idea. they are brit,but i really havent seen a pair just like those before.
they came from JJ member: 66triumph

scottto93 · 05-13-2012, 09:09 AM

Lookin' good Chico! Keep on it!!

I thought at one time those pipes were referred to as "drag" pipes....regardless, bike looks great... i think ya nailed it....

whittiger650 · 05-13-2012, 09:15 AM

Your bike turned out real nice, very cool

BTS13 · 05-13-2012, 09:41 AM

Thanks Scott,
i appreciate it.
Whit,
thanks man,i love it. having an electrical issue right now. thought it was the mity max,but i think Ken & Tony are right about it being the rotor

BTS13 · 05-13-2012, 09:45 AM

and who am i to tell my bike it has to sleep outside?

redrabbit · 05-13-2012, 10:53 AM

Ha! your bike looks just as good inside as it does outside.Man that thing looks like a blast to ride.

xmlc216x · 05-14-2012, 07:55 AM

Looking great Chico! Glad you got it home... and it looks like you run with some pretty cool cats too.

69camfrk · 05-14-2012, 07:36 PM

I dig it man!!

dvrogers · 05-17-2012, 01:27 AM

id ride that til the wheels fell off.

BTS13 · 05-17-2012, 01:36 AM

LOL!
thanks guys.
it's down right now. the stator/rotor is really bad in it. my electrical is going to crap.
i got to get the alternator fixed. the alternator is weak,so the mity max isnt doing any help with the lights,let alone making the bike even run decent right now.
looks like i got some work ahead of me.
but i still love the hell out of it.
thanks guys,i appreciate it.
Mr. Rogers,
yours is looking good! im jealous of all those nice powder coated pieces!
