    So cool, this takes me back to my childhood in the early 70s when I was put on the back of a bike for the first time. It happened to be an old school Triumph chopper

      @@weemsmotorco It's how I got hooked on bikes, 10 years old, short pants, no shirt, no shoes, biker hauling ass around the suburban blocks with me on the back like a puppy with two tails. They were my dad's work mates, vietnam vets who smelled like "funny" tobacco. For all their demons they bought back they always had time for me.

    In my opinion, this is one of the, if not the best video you have put out there so far. It is a perfect mix between explanations and fabrications. Also to see how the fab parts fits and looks is a bonus. I just love this Bobber. Simple design and not too crusty. A little bit of patina looks good too much sometime looks sloppy. Yours is perfect.

    I love the look of this bike! There was a similar Pre Unit in the 1969 Choppers magazine back when I was a kid. It pretty much looked like this except it had a cobra style seat. Super simple, Peanut tank Bates tail and headlight with TT style pipes, everything else was Triumph. Perfect. 😎

    I always liked those old triumph levers, I wanna get a set for my shovel one day and make them fit I think. Also have one of the junction box cable splitters sitting on the shelf in my shop lol.
