I like that. I have not seen a Triumph Chopper looking that good in years.

Sweet, what frame is that.. Looks like its gonna be long and low..

Bought the frame out of Nova Scotia a few years back. Had the neck replaced with a harley neck and raked to 45 degrees. Had the rear removed and widened to fit a 240 rear tire. Frame sits 4 inches off the ground.

Nice. What kinda bars you thinking??

Wanted to put drag bars on with 1 1/2 inch risers but they wont work with gas tank. Tried a set of 8 in Z-bars that might work.

That is a good lookin bike. Glad to see the update. Is the black Triumph tank in the back the one your going to use?

Here is what it should end up looking like. The gas tank is the correct type, this one was used to learn how to paint. I give myself a D- on the flames.
