Do tell about your brake drum and sprocket...

 

[JRK5892]

man i LOVE your build so far.... LOVE IT!

 

[locOleoN]

WOW!!... I love it!!

 

[Hoosier Daddy]

Jesse who?
You build looks awesome, but that last pic needs some help...

Just Kiddin... wish I had half his tallent, or maybe just his experiance,,,,, or maybe just his bankroll! fugit we could do that shit if we had his funds, and equipment, and, and, and.
Your build is sweet and if it wasn't for the name, you put them side by side, I'd pick yours.
Serious

^^^x2
if we had the equipment and the mulah to buy some components like that then we would have to get so creative mixing parts around...that to me is what makes a bike...almost anyone can buy the "cool" parts, but swapping dull parts to turn them into a work of art...well that speaks for itself...(drum sprocket, squirlys fornt spoke wheel...)
i rest my case

That's what OCC did in the start. JJ/ WCC makes damn near everything from Billet, Tube and Sheet metal.

[whitexk]

yea the drum and sprocket are factory, i did have the drum nickle plated. it frustrates me not have the right equipment, but just like jesse and others they all started out where i am now. one day ill have all the nice things, until then ill have others bend the tubing for me.

Exhaust does look sick...

[midnightcafe]

I have one of the adapters sitting in a box somewhere. Bout it for an old VW project and never used it if anyone needs one.

Whitexk,

Fantastic builds and a good eye for style! Can you tell me about the oil tank on the Triumph? I'm looking for some ideas on oil tanks for my old Honda 750 build and yours looks interesting.

BTW, is that a Buell I see in your avatar?

thats not jesses bike just a bike that i love, its made by schubert motorcycles in germany. they don't make it anymore it was just a prototype. the oil tank was found on ebay under vertical oil tank, i had to cut it down 3 inches to give it the look i wanted but its really nice. and yes that is a buell xb9s i since sold it for this triumph. i will get a tuber as soon as i get the money so that i can customize it. you can't do much with a aluminum frame or at least i cant. i'm thinking a chrome alloy frame similar to a ducati or ktm rc8 would be nice with the barracuda fairing if you know what im takling about. and thanks again guys for the comments. i will post more pictures when its done and ready for paint.

Let me know when you get the tuber, I'm a big fan. My son and I are working on a '95 S2 resto mod right now with a Trask turbo.
