I ran across a guy that's building a Triumph bobber using a 2004 Bonneville engine. Here's a pic of the bike in progress.
He posted about it on triumphrat.net, and he has a complete gallery of build pics at chopperweb.net. That url won't work for you until you register at chopperweb.net. If you don't want to join there, Bitter End Choppers, who did the frame, has a 4 pic overview of the build progress. At chopperweb.net, MIDGET11 has posted 2 pages of build pics so it's worth joining if you're interested.
I've invited him over here to tell us more about it, and to share his experience as he puts everything together. Hopefully he'll show up sometime soon.

For a pic of the bare frame go to http://www.bitterendchoppers.com/FrameSales.html and go to the bottom of the page. I can answer any questions about this frame as I am the builder. In addition, we are doing quite a bit of machining and fabrication to make it all fit together, so can answer questions there also. [image]http://www.bitterendchoppers.com/FrameSales.html[/image]

Thanks for dropping by Al, and welcome to our humble little Triumph corner of the net. I hope you don't mind me lifting the pic to show the guys around here what you're up to. You know how it is...nobody believes you until you show them a pic. There's been a few people around here asking about frames, so maybe they'll chime in with some questions for you.

SalMaglie,
Isn't that Midget's bike from the TriumphRAT.net board?

Yes it is Paul. I invited the guy over here who posted about it, and we were lucky enough to get the frame builder and fabricator to drop by. There's more interest for this sort of thing here than at triumphrat.net. For some of the guys around here who have asked about what it takes to get a frame, this is a golden opportunity to throw out questions to someone who's built one specifically for the new motor.

Welcome to the site Kevin, and thanks for dropping by. If it isn't too much trouble for you, you could start your own pic gallery here. Clicking on this link will take you to a post detailing instructions on how to set up your own gallery and upload pics. The ones you posted at chopperweb.net are great.
Although we've seen a few choppers in here, we haven't really seen a detailed build from start to finish with the new motor on a different frame. Should be quite a ride as you take us through your experience.
