From a 1952 issue of CYCLE. Perfect rear fender bob. Perfect front fender placement. Perfect balance of chrome and paint. Perfect handlebar and rear grab rail combo. And once again the Mustang tank makes it happen.
Absolutely. Yeah this is the earliest custom street Triumph article I've seen as well. If you took off the lights it's real close to being the same motorcycle as the Ted Evan's / JoMo track bike from 1947.
The Show & Go Cycle Shop is my private two car garage located in the foothills of Central CA. I am building everything from early Desert Racers - Street or Strip Dragbikes - 1960's Style Show Bikes - to 70's style Radical Choppers. Specializing in Pre-Unit construction 650 & 500 twins and vintage aftermarket parts identification. Buy, Sell, Trade, parts made by Webco, MCM, MCA, Bates, Flanders, Wassell, Superior, Routt's Cycle, etc. Period photos wanted. If you have stuff for sale related to what you see here email me. I will post pics of my projects from time to time and keep an ongoing thread of pictures and old magazine articles featuring modified British Motorcycles from 1946 onwards.
Paul - Great article as thats the earliest one I've ever seen on a custom triumph. Thanks for the post about my bike as well!
