I have always liked the radians, kind of an underrated bike in my opinion, i know a guy that raced one of these, he and the bike were fast as hell, he went to the states to race and was not allowed on some minor technicality.....but because he travelled so far to race the officials let him run...

I have not checked the rest of the thread yet, but you said these bikes were raced....were they raced with the belt drives or converted to chain? (if possible) if so how durable were they for racing, any legal issues or other problems to overcome for racing? just curious because i never really...

Is it just me or did anyone else notice the front end of the ford is dinged up pretty good...and there are small chalk marks on the fender? looks like hes up to ten hits id say ???

thanks for the input, i think i will test it on the swing arm or batt box and then decide from there, oh and is it just my t500 titan or were the welds on all the frames messy as hell, man and those plates up by the headstock look like they were cut and welded by me.....i dont weld...yet

I was just wondering if anyone here has had any success with brush painting a frame? It is something i have been thinking about for a while...and just the fact that i lack anywhere to spray at the moment is the main reason, on another form there was someone who said they have done a number of...

Thanks Sonreir, ill check out those measurements tonight, it could also be that the gt500 tank is longer? because i know when they changed over to the gt500 they used the gt750 tank, its definatley wider but is it longer?

When I bought my titian the seat that was on it has a gap between it and the tank, I was told by the PO that it is a seat off of the gt500, there is probably 1-1 and a half inch gap...the seat hooks under the pan seem correct for the suzuki, just to short...anyone out there have any imput?

Thanks Goldie, if you have been in the vintage scene for a while there is a good chance we have crossed paths...ever been to the vintage tt at shubie?...oh I love the triumph by the way, I'm still going to pick the one up that i was going to buy during the summer...British cycle supply is only...

I think your seat looks good, maybe tuck in the front part by the gas tank, but other than that it looks like it flows well with the rest of the lines, but if your anything like me...if your not totally happy with it, that likely wont change lol....oh and a quick hijack.....im in titan territory...

Ya you want to get a good idea of what you have, what you want and then what you will need before even worrying about the frame, or i should say painting the frame, once you get an idea of the style and start acquiring parts you can get a good idea where to go with the frame, for me i like to...

there we go..funny how something so simple as posting a pic can be a royal pain in the ass!!!

Welcome seaking, great to see all these maritimers on DTT, im in the valley myself(Kentville) and im building an old t500 titan, we got a few snow flurries here this morning so i guess its time to batten down the hatches and get building!!! and as for the name "seaking" are you forces?

Yeah there is no doubt that you can learn pretty much anything, does not mean it will come natural, but you can learn. after 20+ years of wrenching on bikes its not so much for me anyway of what i am capable of...its how far i want to go. i have built some smaller motors and did a few top end...

This is kind of a reboot of sorts, i did an intro a while back and i was in the midst of buying a 73 t100 triumph tiger when everything kind of fell through, unfortunately the triumph did not make it into my possession but i still have a line on it and there may be a deal in the future. So after...

I am going to look at a 1965 250 ducati this afternoon and i am trying to find a good website with model information, like serial # model identification... just from what i have seen so far there seem to be many names and models....i know for sure its not a scrambler, so i hope after i get the...

i kinda figured thats why you put the heatwrap that far, nuthing wrong with honoring your grandfather, sounds like a great man..who knew great bikes, kudos for keeping it in the family.

nice resto, sweet sounding bonnie....just that heat wrap going all the way back kinda uglies it up a bit IMO....cant beat that sound though ...im starting a 73 500 tiger next week, enjoy your bike!!!

Ok I gotta admit that i watch on any sunday at least 2-3 times a year, ive seen just about every motorcycle inspired movie ever made, but this movie just never gets old. How many of you out there have similar motorcycle (or cage related) movies that you cant get enough of? (not that i am trying...

I was looking at the knee dents in the tank.....the look just like the wing in the honda logo...done on purpose? or did they just work out that way?

i wouldn't worry to much about the carma part...last bike i fixed up (kz650) a guy was killed on..i drove it for 2 years and it was perfect, dont get me wrong im a big believer in carma.....i just felt rebuilding and driving her was putting the good carma back in!. but seriously that bike is...
