Seat mock up

I have been working on the seat and think I have found the way I would like the bike to look. You have to use a little imagination but I think this is right there.

Timing side assembled

The cases are now one

The Triumph bug is going around. My buddy Hank is building a Triumph Chopper. Awesome!

Footrest

One night I went through and found all the hardware for the footrests and brakes. The cool thing was I found everything. The bad is that most of the parts are really rusty and both footrests are bent.

Whats cookin?

Friday night the wife went out with the ladies and I cooked up some Triumph crank shaft bearings.
It was almost too easy. It's freezing outside, so I put the bearing on the back porch for a few hours. Then I fired up the oven to 350 (I chose 350 because my mother cooks everything at 350). I cooked the primary side first for 20 mins. I pulled the case out of the oven and dropped the frozen race in. I was ready to have to force it into place but I was able to push it in with my fingers. A few minutes later the race was not moving and in its proper place. I did the same thing for the timing side and the transmition bearing.
Next up reassembling the cases.
