Trump Chopper from Blighty |
"Guy, Glad you like
the bike. I built it in 1992 although it didnt look like this
and sold it a couple of years later.
I found it again and bought it back last August after it had been stood outside
unused for 2 years. It wasnt pretty.
Basically its a T120 1969 with T140 forks and wheels and various bits from
Trumps of other eras. The brake cylinders
are off a Suzuki (Arrrgh) and rear guard is H/D.
The motor has a polished /balanced crank, Hyde cams, R followers, ported head
and SRD mag (bloody expensive
but worth every penny for looks alone) gearbox is 4 speed close ratio. Wheels
are 16" F & R.
Most of the bike was done by me but Vic at Destiny Cycles made the Exhausts
and various little stainless bits,
and me mate Chris did the beautiful chain case (which he will never do again
so dont ask !).
All in it stands me to about £2,500. Ive had a grand more than that offered
but it isnt going anywhere.
This style of bike seems to be catching on all over the world except here!
Billet and bad taste rules the UK (unfortunately)
A lot of my ideas came from sites like yours, Chopper Dave, Dutchman etc and
from Japan.
"Vibes" is my favourite mag even though i cant understand a bloody word of
it.
Bobbers rule!"
