Triumph digger 1971 Big bore build.

Almost done. Be making a few changes like different bars and peg position and modifying the exhaust so theres alittle leg room. See how you guys like...

I'm not a Gooseneck guy, but this bike looks cool
The reason I was asking about the single pedal operating both breaks was at one point I was looking at doing the same thing....some people commented on the idea and I nixed it once someone brought up the idea of attempting to stop on different surfaces.
Having them proportioned for dry asphalt is fine if that is all you are going to ride but then that can easily change with a little wetness...
Yes, that is what i am thinking... the problem may be the difference of the throw of the brake lever for the 2 different brakes. I could always do a remote MC and have a cable lever like the clutch lever. Thanks Spade ;)
Maybe use a proportioning valve?

Nice goose!
stance is awesome bro. Big bore? did you do a 750 kit? I have a 70, been thinking of going to a kit. what did you do??

I guess its being done succesfully enough with the porportioning valve but I was saying it being used on the drum brake lever , I am not sure if that is the same as what your bike is or what your thinking ? I think maybe there might be too much serperate adjustement for the 2 different kind of brakes. It might work ok at first until you have to adjust the drum throw. Kinda thinking out loud. Basically I dont want a big master on my handlebars. I might just buy a nice tiny Kustomtech MC and be done with it.

A couple shots of the all important headsteadies and stuff they are pretty much hidden, Heres a shot of Chad on the bike hes 6'3" and has a huge reach . you can see how cramped his legs are with stock peg position, lol... I might be able to fire it up this week....

did you do high compression 10.5:1 or stock 9.5:1?
just curious. I know you said you havent run it yet, but when you do........power difference?

I really dont know? It was new, i aquired the kit, I would guess its the lower compression piston for street use.
Dude, I realy like what you've done on this one.Keep the pics coming.

I like it. Kind of got a Shinya KIMURA feel to it.
Your rides are long but they have good stance.
Kinda like a tiger set to pounce.
Good stuff man.
My bike is in "The Horse " ? Holly shit ! which issue ? (sorry about the hijack )
Seen your bike in the Horse, good show!
I love that bike.
You could run dual masters side by side with a balance bar.

Or better yet, just run it as a car with disc & drums would.., wa la. 5/8" tandem mini master. Its tube shaped, very small.

Glad people are digging it , ;) no pun intended... Dropped the seat and moved it back , raised the oil tank so the chain wont hit it added chain tensioner it has 124 links . added pullback risers and it still almost touches the tank. Still have to have bars made.
Extended my right side pipes and lowered my pegs, I am gonna lower them about another 2" and the bike will have a decent riding postion. New belt drive.
I am settling with a regular master cyl .it will be Kustomtech controls. I dont want the cables/lines running up the frame and back and dont want an MC mounted on the springer so its clean bars or clean frame. Im going with the clean frame. Almost all the wires will be hidden and it will have an internal throttle. Sorry about blurry pics its under a flueoresent and i cant get them much better for now. On to cleanup finish welding and powder in the next couple days , bronze frame , rootbeer tins and black everything else. Chrome front end and bars with some stainless mixed in. satin motor im not into the high polish. Dan Super Crouton chain tensioner. It is a great piece o fab Dan is the man.

You might wanna rethink that head steady , they really need to articulate from both ends because the rigid end will apply a lot of torque on the the bolts it is secured by
