£Parts for Sale£ Bantam Tank







I`ve got this BSA Bantam tank up for grabs . These don`t come up for sale, as clean as this, very often . There`s a couple of small dings on the centre panel , if it was me , I`d run it with a strap down the middle anyway .The tank is basically ready to bolt on and go . Comes with a cap , but no tap ( easy to source ) . I`ve included pics of these tanks in action on a couple of killer bikes .
E.mail me for price and details as usual .

£Parts for Sale£ Zed/Dragster Bars





I`ve got these nice old Zed bars for sale .
They`re 1" diameter , but have a reduced end on the left(!) for a Triumph 15/16" throttle . I`m guessing most would want to run them as Zeds , not drops , they would work well like this too , with a 1" throttle .
They`re very similar, in style and dimensions, to the set on the sweet Jokers Panhead pictured above .
Nice older chrome , with a couple of love bites in the middle that match up to Pre Unit style U Clamps . They look wide enough to work with Springer/Dogbone set ups too .
E.Mail me for price and to discuss the angle of dangle etc.

Going , going ..... gone .


I`m posting this up for some nice folks in the US I have bought parts from . The entire inventory of Brit Bike parts is up for auction , there`s some proper tasty bits in there . This is somewhat out of my league , but I know there`s a few out there who could deal with this .....

Bad Influence 4










Couldn`t really leave this one out , although I may be pushing the ten year marker a little here .
I first saw this one on the old Greasy Kulture site (the framed pics are pinched from there , hope you don`t mind Guy !).
I think this bike was a major influence in reviving the original Showbike styling of the early sixties . Looks way better with the blackwall tyre , as seen in the earlier shots .
I particularly like the seaweed flames paint , `Grapevine` style oiltank and the way the front end has had a subtle lowering ,combined with a 300 by 19 tyre , to give a perfect stance .

Bad Influence 3







If we`re talking influential Triumph builds from the last ten years (and I am ), it`s difficult to ignore this one .
I first saw this bike back in 2004 when it was featured in the Horse magazine , of course , a few years later someone lent me a copy of Choppertown , in which the bike is heavily featured .
Whilst this is a great bike , I really preferred the other Triumph in the film , with the raked out Springer front end . But in terms of influence , this bike certainly has the edge . The tall tall Tee bars , shaved Sportster front end and strutless mudguard have influenced many builds , both Vee and Parallel twin alike .

Bad Influence 2







I was reminded of the post I did on the Delinquent recently , when I had the chance to buy some Webco braced racing bars (see pics ).
My first thought was `Cool bars `
My second thought `I can`t use those , they`re the Mike Davis bars .

Don`t think I`ve ever heard anyone say they don`t like this bike . If we`re talking influential Triumph builds from the last ten years , this one`s in there too .
