It does when they've got 40 years of abuse on them! Beat to hell with only 9k miles on it.

I do. It's hanging from the rafters waiting for the next project to begin! It's not that I didn't like it. It just wasn't made/working with this donor bike.

   Some progress on the Triumph. I'll flip it over and weld the back side in the next day or so... Then mount the battery tank, and the seat. Speaking of the seat, I'd read that the oil tank/back bone of the bike was very thin walled, as many times as I've blown holes in it... I believe it. I don't think it's an 1/8 in at least in the bend area which kind of makes sense since it would be stretched on the outer portion of the bend and compressed on the inner. At any rate I will definately be welding my seat pivot to the flat plate I just welded in. E |

Garage night progress...  I know it doesn't look like much but the battery tank is mounted. Now I can weld in the tabs so the battery sits level and move forward. Eric |

Not even man! I like bullshitting almost as much as I like working on bikes. It was totally cool.
