1969 Trumph 500 Build
A project i have been working on with my friend Rod to build his 1969 triumph.
He has pieced this bike together all from swapmeet parts or ebay finds.
He originally bought a bates seat that he really liked for the project, but just didnt fit the top subrail loop of the frame at all. This seat shaped the whole build, what started with just wanting to build a stock bike turned into building a slimmed down version of stock where everything is modified to give it a cleaner look.
I started by narrowing the top subrail loop of the frame to fit the seat.
After the frame was straightened and modifed both the oil bag needed to be shortened and trimmed down to fit the now narrow subrails.
the oil tank fill was relocated and the oiler adjuster/ vent was shortened along with redoing all the mount.
The left side cover had the mounts relocated and top opening smoothed.
