http://www.choppersaustralia.com/forum/ ... 750#p37750

020 Scouser's T140 V... This Triumph was a disaster when we got it. Engine needed everything inside new. Engine was badly misaligned in the frame. Frame was too long etc. This series of posts and more in a different section of the forums shows major changes done (some in detail) in The Chopper Shed and some done a year later by the owner. Interesting to see the difference shortening a long rigid frame makes. Also interesting tail light treatment.
