Don't know anyone that has done it, as they are uglier that the average 60's twin frame, but the 71-on oil in frame design was a Rob North design for the trident engine. I have seen a couple of the OIF frames with Trident engines, so I'm presuming the reverse would be similarly simple.EldoMike said:

Re: Triumph Trident Frame question
Talked to my mate today ,and when he used the triple frame(early trident) he had to fabricate new front engine mounts ,this was the only major change to take the 650 unit motor(750 morgo top end). He used spacers to get the correct engine off-set for rear chain alignment as the triple frame is wider, and he couldnt remember if the engine plates at the rear were a straight bolt on as he made custom ones anyway as it was built for show and go. Hope that helps
