1969 T120R Bobber
Hey Guys.... they call my Farducci (in some circles),

New to this forum. I'm in the Northern KY, Cincinnati, OH area. Some great bikes on here and lots of talent. I myself am a freelance Print & Web designer/Photographer and a Bike Builder as a hobby/3rd job.

Posted a Honda CL360 Drum Front brake question in the Chopper/Bobber page if anyone has any input, it would be appreciated!!

Mostly a Triumph/BSA/Norton guy, but I love 'em all. Just finished a Triumph 500 Chopper/Bobber build for a customer. (Gone in a couple days :'( and looking forward to some new projects. ;D (more Pics and links in the Chopper/Bobber cat.)

Getting ready to help a friend Cafe a CB350 he just picked up. Fun stuff ahead.

These are my Top Priority projects at the moment.
a. 1972 Triumph T120RV - Daily Rider, constant maintenance to keep it that way!
1. 1969 Suzuki T350 Rebel Cafe racer for my lady!!! Runs out well. New shox, Bump Seat, Clubmans, Fresh rubber... real close on this one!
2. Flashy ass 1968 BSA A65 - Rigid Bobber build. Can't wait to start mokup. Got everything.
3. Flashy ass 50's Triton build too. Pre-Unit Triumph 650 in a Norton Featherbed frame. I have everything to start mockup... except the Featherbed Frame!! So I'm looking if anyone knows a guy! I Do have the Alloy Wheels, Ceriani Forks, Clip-ons, Rear-sets, Bump Seat, Motor & Trans, Benelli Mojave 360 Tank.. can't wait!
4. Transplant a Late Triumph 750cc 5 speed engine into my current 1969 Triumph 650 Bobber - Because I have it and I can!

Other projects not quite on the back burner, listed by old-ness.. Always Actively looking for bits for....
1950 BSA A10 Chopper. Last titled/chopped in CA 1968!!!! And looks it! Not changing, just getting back as a rat original 60's piece!
1951 BSA A10 Golden Flash - Stock refresh/mild custom - Need Hinged Plunger rear fender
1962 BSA A65 Star Twin - First year Unit bike, stock refresh/resto-rider - Need Complete Headlight Nacelle & Speedo
1962 BSA A10 Rocket Gold Star Scrambler - Resto! 1 of 272 ever made! US Only model - In progress, stuff's happnin'!
1973 Norton 850 Commando - Stock refresh/rider - Need time and focus
1976 Triumph 750 - Stock refresh.

Then there are a few bikes in the Garage I just don't know what todo with yet. Was going to build a Unit Triumph 650 Cafe Racer, but decided to use all my alloy bits and go fast goodies on the Triton Project, so still a Triumph 650 Cafe Racer... but cooler!

That's my bike problem in a nutshell. I have others, but have no idea when I may get to the them, so I won't list them here.

Thanks and hopefully someone knows CL360 Drums like no one and can help me out!!

Cheers,

Ryan

Here's a shot of the 1970 Triumph Daytona 500 I'm sorting out now. Kinda Cafe/GoFast/Bobber Hybrid. CL360 front wheel has been flipped to rotate the correct way, per original CL setup already!!

That's a lot of projects! Welcome to DTT.
Thanks for the welcome. Keeps me busy and keeps me from getting bored! Makes is easy to buy stuff at swapmeets too, as I always have several projects cooking that need bits. I'm sure I'd be a poster child for ADD/ADDHD crap if labeling and drugging kids would have been so popular when I was I tot. Missed the boat on that one though, so I just tough it out like a real man with beer, whiskey and motorcycles!
