Had a triumph chopper . Was a 1952 speed twin frame I think . The post was moved to put a 1971 unit engine in it . Whoever did it did a good job. It was made well and had candy apple orange paint . Only problem was you had to be 5 feet tall to ride it . Had to lean on the sissy bar .

(maybe stupid questions.....but I'm english 😁😂) thanks in advance. Peace out ✌

Could I pay you $50 . I build motorized bicycles and I need a motor mount tube welded to the frame. It is a steel frame Spider-Man bicycle.

How are you stretching 1"or 4" without affecting top tubes? Any stretch in the lower tail pivots the axle líne upwards, creating drop.
@weemsmotorco6 күн бұрын
Great point and you are correct. The 1” stretch also drops the frame lower. That was the main issue in the first place. The frame sat 1.5” off the ground!

I feel so conflicted lol. My first bike was a Yamaha maxim 650… owned a couple viragos, a Honda CM400. Currently I own two Yamaha xs650s, a triumph America, and a 92 Harley ElectraGlide… I’ve felt every bit of snobbery dished out at me over the years. Everything I have I worked for and paid cash… but I gotta say, the Harley has been incredibly reliable, and she’s given me almost 50 mpg… I don’t ride for the image perse. I ride to get from A-B. I love my big touring bike. Weight is good. Power is nice but kinda overrated. Handling is kinda on you, but that said, I’d rather take mountain twisties on the America than the ElectraGlide… bikes are kinda like tools and none of them are Swiss Army knives. You buy what you like and what works for the job you wanna do, image or whatever aside… I wish triumph had kept their rocket III touring… but the triumph dealership near me has just as many snobbish jackasses working at it as Harley does… expected to be treated better as an owner. Anyhow, long story short, while everything you say is true, I own and love triumph and Harley and Yamaha and wouldn’t hesitate to own another Honda… I like bike. Except crotch rockets, won’t throw a leg over one, gross lol. Someday triumph might bring back a touring bike and I’d like to try one out. Till then I’m probably a pretty loyal Harley guy because that’s the tool that works for me.
