I'll have to take some more recent pics. Basically what I've done so far is mostly making it road worthy..... new chain, new wiring harness, fixed the stock brakes, the carbs had some real issues but I've got those sorted out, repacked the wheel bearings, welded up some broken stuff and so on. It runs pretty good, shifts fine and is pretty powerful for what it is. The clutch is sticky but I haven't torn into the mechanical part of the engine yet so that will be addressed in time.
I've been collecting some Cafe racer BS for it. A major bit I'm going to use is a 4 leading shoe front brake from a '72 Suzuki GT 750 Water Buffalo. I found an 18" Excell shouldered Aluminum rim and also some chrome spokes to go with. I'm just about done building that and it is almost too cool to put on the bike.... it's awesome. I had to modify a right side lower disk brake fork tube (I found a spare to do this) and will have to put the GT 750 axle on a latheto fit it up to the Triumph forks. I found TWO double brakes levers (It don't hurt to have a spare

) with the balance bars and was able to find some used brake cables. I'll probably have some new cables built up with stainless housings or something equally as silly.
I also found a NOS Tomaselli alloy quick throttle from the seventies and its a gem. Add in some retro side covers, some Amal velocity stacks, a set of (ahem) somewhat expensive Marzochhi Reservoir shocks, some very flat Matchless handlebars (may go with some clipons if I can find something sweet).
I'm getting ready to buy some rearsets, some sweptback header pipes and some shorty reverse cone mufflers... all it takes is money.
I'd like to find a Lyta style alloy tank and of course some sort of gay racing seat so if you guys know of any tanks laying around let me know. Remember, it's an Oil in Frame bike. The seat is easy, any one of about ten different places make some cool ones.
Once I get everything collected I'll piece it together and fab up what I need to make things work. Then I'll tear it back down, paint the frame and other sheetmetal and then actually build it. None of this includes any kind of engine work yet. This is a long term project, as slow as I am in my old age it could take years
