Many Thanks. Much appreciated.

Many thanks 🙏🏻

My humble opinion : the one and only people that ever could built/produce an "yster" is the "Rooinekke" - finish and klaar !!!

Haha. Wonderful. Good times 👍

Haha. Sounds like my life. They all had KTM and fancy mopeds and I had a fckg French Solex from 1967 with front engine. I still hv that thing and today it is vintage cool. 😅

@@frankbasler6673 when I said to my parents I wanted a BSA/Triumph they said, a bicycle is fast enough for your needs. I was crushed! Now, vintage is pretty expensive but I am so glad those like yourself have the nice motorcycles and have them posted. Be well.

😂👍🏻🙏🏻

You have a good eye. It is the K81 Dunlop. Thx and indeed if you crank it it turns into an furious animal with character.

@@frankbasler6673 where do you find them? As most Starbucks-poseurs use shitty tyres, I thought old tyres of yore like the Dunlop K81 and the Michelin PZ-2 were not available today. I've ridden café-racers almost all my life and I ended using other more modern sticky modern tyres. Sadly, today, the most sticky ones are only found in 17 inches, so that's what I use on my current ride for twisties, a Duke 690 thumper, which has the spirit of old café-racers but sadly a garish off-road Supermotard look...

That is a though one. I found mine in the UK some years ago. There you really have to look around and be prepared to spend. Mine are a bit woody now, but I don’t beat up the bike anymore like I used to. So for a joyride they still work

Tritons are built by ''Blokes in Sheds'' ...apart from Dresda...drinking endless cups of tea and smoking Old Holbourne 'roll ups' thats why they always look more authentic than anything built by the Starbuck brigade...

Hi Sophie, you are absolutely correct. Lots of papers and to register is a drag. It depends really on the local MOT person. If they want to they make it happen, they find a way. If not, disaster. I had a nice person. I had to invent a chassis number, Hammer it in and the manufacturer is myself, the model is triton. He took all the measurements and technical test - zoom it was done. To register as Norton or Triumph or Triton was not possible. No type approval exists in this configuration. The bike came from the UK with little papers, so we had to get creative. What helped was something unexpected. In the Little round thing where the registration tag is displayed on the bike we found a big bunch of stickers going back to 65. So when this was running in the UK for so long, the Tester said, we have to make it happen here. :). I guess all Tritons registered in Germany have their own story 😅 Cheers Frank

I built a Triton a few years before moving to Spain in 2001. it had a original MOT which lasted for six month or so. Then I had to re-register it, an Engineers report etc,etc!...The Bike had no lights, which was the first stumbling block and the fact the Bike was two Bikes blow the mind of homologation conscious inspectors. I used the Triton on many Concentrations over the next few years... trailering the bike to various venues. but in the end I sold it to a collector in Valencia. It was a great bike, was photographed a good deal..... Norton slimline frame, a Triumph thunderbird pre-unit engine 1959 vintage, with a twin carb head, plus all the other parts associated with these bikes...All I have now are various trophies the bike won.....it was great while it lasted.

@@brianperry that is though. I hv made the mistake once to sell one of my treasures.

@@frankbasler6673 I use a Triumph Street triple now... Owning Tritons Tribsas or other hybrids etc in UK isn't a problem as long as everything works Okay ...Spain though has a draconian homologation system...the ITV (MOT) check everything, even in some cases the tyres.its just impossible...

Hi Dave my name is jay .kickstarting in converse boots. . wow. Watching the guy feel for the compression kick on the bike was awesome . Love watching guy kick over those bikes

Haha, also a good way to enjoy it 👍🏻

Works of art, why not right?

Sorry but the bobber is made to be riden .......but then again SHE'S yours .

Hi there, www.nortonraceparts.com Take care and hv fn wrenching. :)

Lyta I think.

Thank you. It’s fun, passion and pain, as you know.

pauliebots sure! Runs like clockwork. Thx

Marty Boosinger Thx. Will do :)

TheFokker03 absolutely fair, but the only place in Germany to be street legal and to avoid rear indicators.

@@frankbasler6673 i did wonder why there were no rear's,'til i saw the backs.best to avoid the police,when possible.nice bike,by the way.

Thanks. Love it!!

BMWs used the end of handlebar system for some models

Hi there, all the Best for the project. There are many tensioners out there. With most you cannot change direction. I did buy mine from lowbrow Customs USA spot on firmly frame and direction. It fittet Plug and Play and works perfekt. I just took the ugly roller off and added the bigger skateboard roller. For that I had to fab a new axle. Check out www.lowbrowcustoms.com/catalogsearch/result/?order=relevance&dir=desc&q=Chain+tensioner They have all sort of directions. Weld and bold on. I hope that helps. Cheers Frank

Christopher Smith Hi and I love that Song :). I use the small sensor on the rear axle and the magnet is fixed on the pinion drive. It is basically invisible. Cable runs incl the number plate cable through the rigid frame. Cheers and hv fn building. Frank

Neale Bradford thank you!

Thank you. That is a good question. I would go first for forward controls best for riding position. That is usually first. Unless you build a show bike and not a rider. The exhaust has to follow. Best of luck with your project! Cheers

@@frankbasler6673 don't worry my bobber will be a rider not a show bike! When the engine is back in the frame and exhausts on, I'll take a look if I can fit forward controls. The look I want requires low exhausts.

That is what I was thinking when I had my bonanza bike in the 70ties :)

„Always“ ;)

Thanks! The front brake is a giant very early grimeca double duplex with innercooling in the center and the front wheel is an Akront 36 spoke from Spain. The year I don’t know, but it is an old one.

Hi! Motogadget Mini, black, bracket is home made. If it is switched of you barely see any speedo. Nice quality!

g.g. 63 thank you. I loved it and the credit goes to Gus. Well done :)

Avon Venom it is.

Thank you, what size are the tires? Are those the stock rims?

Jaret Huddleston front 100/90 19 rear 140/90 16. the rims are stock. Cheers!!

I would like a Tiger too. Wonderful Bike!

Hi there! I hv got them from www.trumpet-classics.de Ask for Dietmar. Cool guy, he sure can tell you the manufacturer. His shop is in Stuttgart, Germany. Cheers Frank

Danke, werde ich mal versuchen !

Hi there. Unfortunately I am for a while not in my place and the bike is wrapped and stored. It works just like a original drum brake for the springer. The brake stay is the biggest headache. In the end I used a double ball joined fixed at the big arm of the fork, it is about 3 inches log. MOT tested it and approved. Sorry mate, in about 6 weeks I am back. Cheers

Thx! That was an idea I had and I fiddled it together using the regular rod to the front, a ball joint and a regular foot shift piece, which I made straight and put a knob on it. Done. Cheers
