Triumph LSR Bike Gets A Beefy New Fork Stop

Cut off the fork stop tab I had welded up before that was only about 1/8" steel, and made a new one out of 1/4". To see the set up I came up with to mate different forks / frame, check out the Custom Motorcycle Fork Stops article I did on it in the Lowbrow Customs DIY Tech Tips section.

This will limit fork travel quite a bit, and in tandem with the hydraulic steering damper I am going to use should stop me from getting any tank slappers and balling up.

My TIG welding is getting better, and that makes me happy.

A thing of beauty... Lucas K2FC Magneto

My Lucas K2FC competition magneto, freshly rebuilt and working perfectly. This magneto was a step up from the standard Lucas K2F magneto fitted to Triumphs, BSAs and Nortons. The competition magneto was an upgrade for racing, and apparently is more precise and delivers a hotter spark. These magnetos are great, way to go Lucas, you did something really well!

Yes UPS ships motors!

Today I packaged up and shipped out my cases and covers to Wes over at Four Aces Cycles for some machine work. I also ordered in my megacycle cams and valve springs. I am pretty stoked about this project. Looking forward to doing some frame work this weekend!

We'll just call this project WFO.....

1967 Triumph Bonneville T-120

I have alot of work ahead of me, but the cases are spilt and the engine is fully torn down and the frame is ready to receive a bit of attention. Wes, got some machine work coming your way. I am going home to eat some dinner now and hit the hay. G'nite!

Mike D.'s dream bike.....

I snapped this photo at the V Twin expo....I think you can tell that Mike D. is all about this bike.

Good Stuff.

Took another test ride today!

Well I have been fighting a cold off all week, but felt decent enough to take my bike for a spin today and I think it is all tuned in and ready to ride for the summer!
While I was working on it this week I shot a new DIY tech article on wrapping your headers, not difficult to do but functional and cool looking. Check it out here!
