Had this awesome submission in my tumblr inbox today- Angie Cooper from Richmond, VA. 1967 Triumph T120 chopper to be brought back to life from totheriver.tumblr.com. I just picked up this barn find last week and plan on getting her running this spring. Currently I ride a 2009 Kawasaki KLX 250SF as my daily driver and a 1974 BWM R90 for longer trips.
Attempting to mount my tires on the Monster Project wheels today, and the Pirelli Sport Demon tire exploded.
Did a front fender mock up for the Monster Project. Because I put a 748 front end on a 750 Monster, the compatible fender is the superbike marshmallow looking thing… way too bulky for my lean mean machine. Which one do you guys like best? Keeping in mind that I will be reinforcing narrow plastic for durability and strength.
Monster project progress! YES! Heath Knapp (friend and absolutely amazing welder) just texted me photos of the frame fix. As you may remember from Phase 2 (photos of previous damage within) this area was mushed by roque frame slider. Next in line is the 6 inch chop off the end… and WHAM. Powder coat time.
Another Monster Project update… I got quite a few requests to see the new headlight on the Monster, so here you go. A perfect fit.
Another step forward in the Monster Project! I met up with Heath last night to fit the axle spacer where the speedo drive usually goes so that it could be safely rolled around and transported to my house. We’ve got a roller.
Monster Project mini update! I just got my headlight (ordered through Spiegler) in at work and am way stoked. “Fire” dual headlight with 100mm high beam, H3 low beam lamp with LED parking ring.
The tank is now in progress. Strip that shit! (Work being done by Jeff Yarrington from Saint Motor Company) In the words of Wiz Khalifa… BLACK AND YELLOW BLACK AND YELLOW. Kinda looks nice all metal. And now onto the choices… A little mash up I threw together. Or, good ol’ classic.. I think I know where I’m going with this now.
