Somewhere in December 2011 we put this project aside because something else needed to be done first..Well, another project came along and another one, and before we knew it the project had been standing still for almost 4 years. Now that Cadbike 1 is almost done we decided we should start working on Aad's Triumph again. .............

 

We dug up all the parts and assembled them on the table. Wow, we had forgotten what a cool little bike it was! After mocking up several combinations we decided to use this "Tokyo Thug" gastank, but to give it a bit more style we will remove the mounting tabs and create an "invisible" rubbermount with a single bolt through the tank and the stock Triumph cover to hide the bolt.

 
 
 

After removing the tabs we fixed the tank on the Bridgeport and drilled a big hole in the top and a smaller hole in the bottom of the tank. We took a piece of 40 mm steel and machined the insert that will be welded in, to be continued...
