ACO update


Well the motor and tranny rebuilds are done. Ron from The Bike Works took care of the tranny rebuild with no problem. I did most of the motor stuff and thanks to Donny from Lucky Charm for the magneto, its such a nice piece.

Triumph Drag Bike progress




Well everything is clean! Soda blasting is great, bought the cheap little thing from Harbor Freight and it does it all, cases were cleaned with it. Hopefully, I can get started on assembly of it all this weekend, starting with the sludge trap.

ACO Update




Its moving along, stuck on what to do for handlebars.

NEW 4.50x18 drag slick!




So I have been working on my triumph drag bike for a little now and was wondering what to run in the rear for a tire. Yesterday, I talked to Cody and Hurst Racing Tires and found out they will be making a 4.50 x 18 slick which will fit the triumphs! They are planning on the summer for release, I am ordering like ten! Pics below are a prototype they have made.

Passing it on

So my son is always asking if he can build a bike, I mean a real bike bc he likes helping me with my stuff. Sometimes he will pick up one of my catalogues and tell me what he needs to order. So since my triumph drag project is going against a father and son team, why not have Cole help me, its never to early to start, he will be 4 in March!

Well the cases are fully split and time to start cleaning everything, waiting for some speed goodies to come in, hope to get some time to start putting it back together, it was overall a very clean motor.
