I have great respect for those who can take metal and shape and weld it into whatever their mind conceives. It’s a skill I have trouble with, and I envy those who make it seem effortless (though it is not). There’s another skill that builders use, and that’s using items that originally had one purpose, and using them for another, unrelated function. While this build is based on a 1966 Triumph 650, the front end is from a 1930 Triumph, the wheels are BSA units, and the gas tank is a Cole Foster unit designed for Harley-Davidson. The velocity stack and taillight lens are from old brass cameras from the 1860’s, which look awesome. The overflow tank is a converted brass pump, and the bar-end mirror is half of a brass door knob! Most people would probably assume these items were stock motorcycle units, and that’s what makes it even more amazing to me.
