1970 Triumph Daytona

 

Nice homebuilt custom with lots of room for improvements.
Killer base though! (it was for sale a while ago)

  1. probably install an upswept cocktail shaker muffler that has matching patine. install a set of old fork cover tins, no front fender. then gaze upon it and contemplate how to improve it without ruining it like a dumbass, lol.

    1. Hahaha that sounds perfect!
      Then i would like to add some 60s style scoops to the tank and matching the purple plus one or two colored and simple graphics on it. Then its the coolest Triumph on the block!!

  2. you would make that tank look perfect, I was visualizing your description. I don't love the fender struts. you could weld round bar completely around edge of fender then fill and shape the fender to match your tank work. round bar for fender support shaped and bondo filled and painted, styled to go with tank and fender. make a new seat with perfect shape, maybe have purple puffy diamonds in suede. polish on the metals and chrome and detail it as nice as can be. I love that bike.

    1. I think this thing should have been donated to us! Fender struts are indeed on the list to improve on, your ideas sounds like a good solution. Also cutting the fender back a little would help
