This looks fun

If you are still in need of these jets hit me up I have a huge assortment since I work on motorcycles for a living.

The wheels are:

FRONT- early xl hub laced to a 21" rim with a 69 Triumph duel leading shoe brake installed.

REAR- BSA gold star 19"

Frame: Triumph neck casting, all mounts where made in steel and the axle plates. The straight tubing is 304 SS the top cross bar is 3/4 hex that was twisted

Trans: Triumph late pre unit that was machined out to take a 5 speed gear cluster

The bike was built not bought most of the parts came from swap meets and just stuff I had laying around the shop.

Here is a link to a build thread

Here is a 74 my friend Josh and I built over the coarse of a year. The Video is of the first time riding it. Notice the left hand throttle and right side foot clutch and shifter.

I'm going. My son is more excited then i am about going, Maybe it will be different here and not be a bunch of old guys in Hawaiian Shirts and old ladies in Puddle Skirts reliving a time that never existed.

And the front.

My MAN WOLFS cut. I plan to remove the MAN WoLFS patch now that i have moved here. I had to have it dry cleaned to clear customs now lt has no smell and has a glow to it.

Kidd engineering in Upper Hutt does that kind of work and he is cheap.

That was a good time, plus I loved the drive there even though the Wolseley is a bit slow on those windy hilly roads.

I found my 1300 overheated and lost coolant because the radiator cap was faulty new. I noticed it was very easy to install and there was no pressure against the spring. I did replace all my hoses and cleaned out the radiator also since I was driving every day and don't like having to fix things on the road.
