I usually try to get out to the shows in the area. I don't believe there is any info for shows right now but I can post it up when I find out. It's going to be a little disapointing this year b/c we won't have the bike with us but there is plenty of parts I need to look for, including a 70's bonneville.

cool thanks are you into the resto or choppers? Here check these guys out there local which makes it even better. www.choppahead.com id say 99% of there work is triumphs. You guys have any old parts bikes you might be lookin to get rid of? For right now im just looking for the basics to get started. Motor/trans front frame section forks? It will be getting a hardtail conversion anyways.

We are in the process of ripping apart a '62 pre-unit for it's 3rd or 4th rebuild. I just recently found that choppahead company and their stuff looks good. The bike is nowhere near a resto but pretty custom. We have a few spare parts kicking around but I'm not sure on what we are going to need this time around so we are going to keep what we have.

This is what i have in mind for the 69 TR6 that i have sitting at my house. It was my dad's first bike that we got back a few years ago.
