Next move on Rods Triumph build was to make a set of exhaust pipes. He wanted a left side shotgun style set and trusted me with an idea i had to run the right side pipe out and around the motor to meet the left pipe. Kept the pipes equal out the front of the heads and had the shotgun style finish that he wanted. One of my favorite pipes made to date.

sent them to the chromer and mounted them up. a unique but classic look on two different levels.

Rod got the frame and tins for the Triumph project paint and together with a perfect color choice.

To the average person this bike would appear mostly stock but if put right next to another 500 you would be able to tell the big changes we made to slim down this bike.

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.

Big push forward to get the main loop of the frame done. Bent up the single down tube first by putting it through the ring roller the give it a gradual curve and the in the tubing bender to finish off the shape.

Starting to look like a frame. got the rear upper wishbones bent and shaped up in place and the pieces for the lower legs bent. Set the motor in place ready for the downtube.

Love the look of having all the tubing curved.

Got a start on the frame i am building with the help of my good friend Ty Branum.

I will be building a single downtube frame with as much rolled steel a possible to give the frame a nice evenly flowed look instead of the abrupt lines stock frames have.

This frame will be stock dimensions to a 1958 panhead and feature castings that resemble a stock frame.

About to get started on my next full build with this 1969 Shovelhead engine and matching transmission. Motor and transmission were rebuild buy Dan Carr from Bacons choppers.

I will be building a full custom show chopper and entering in this years Showclass Magazine's: Peoples Champ 5 contest.

I moved my blog page to a new more interactive platform that allows me to showcase my work better. my old blog is still active and everything is still on there to view. I will be moving important posts over to this site and will be using it from now on to show my work in better detail.
