Touring the world and modifying the old Triumph along the way to keep it in state of the art tune, sounds like a good way to live your life. Check the finned timing cover, Italian front brake, and all custom built suspension. I thought that this style of pointed, big fin exhaust clamps was a 70's design, but apparantly not. Banned by the AMA. Take note of the Bill Martin Triumph Spring frame mention. I am putting together material for a post on Bill Martin's aftermarket "Big Bear" Spring Frame kit and components to go along with my 1952 Thunderbird Spring Frame project. I need the May 1953 issue of CYCLE magazine and there was a 1953 JoMo flyer for the kit I would love to see. If you can help let me know. Friday, May 8, 2009

Oh wow, nice finned timing cover and I've never seen that article before, very, very cool!
ReplyDeleteI just got a batch of CYCLE mags from the mid 1950's that have some other different types of modified Triumphs that I think are neat too and will be posting them soon.
ReplyDeleteThere`s so much to enjoy about this bike and to top it all off a nice scallop job.
