Hoping I can get my stuff together before the Cycle World show hits in December.
Have a plan for the Triumph!
Dumping the stock bars (and the Hyde M bars) for either a clubman bar, or some nice "Z" bars. it all depends on if I am going to cafe or bobber the bike.
buying some pipes, Either low 60's megas, or some high reverse cone megas. Again, 60"s megas for a cafe, and the high pipes for a bobber.
Either way the pipes are getting the glass fiber wrap!
I ordered some vintage grips that are a translucent red with metal flake in the rubber, Too damn cool! They should be here soon.
And the cherry on this cake; a 4 inch headlight, machined from billet aluminum.
So that's hats up with me and my Triumph.

Worked on a 53 (54,55, Er I don't know the owner said) today.
Fucking hate pan heads!
the inside was a mess, and had been put together with a mismatch of standard AND METRIC fasteners. Jesus Christ! What a fucking mess...
Chances are if you find a pan for sale it is in much the same condition if the price is low.
Just run away!
