Newest Crap County Build

I should probably start with a little back story. Crap County Cycles is a small backyard motorcycle customs shop in the heart of Crap County, Georgia. Me and a couple of my bro's (all members of the Crap County Scum Fucs {CCSF for short}) started tweeking and modifying for other friends and eventualy decided to try our luck at making it a business. We do customisation of stock bikes for a reasonable price. But our main thing is building what we call "Blue Collar Choppers". We take old neglected basket cases and breathe new life into them. We mix match and modify parts untill the bike is sleaker, meaner, and totaly unrecognisable. Doing this gives us the low overhead we need to supply you with a 1-up custom chopper at a price the normal working man can still afford.

Now enough about that and more about the bike.

I've been so busy with my job and my two businesses that I haven't realy had the time to ride lately. Then times got a little hard and I had to sell my bike. So now that business is good and I've got the money I've decided to claim the next Crap Co. project for myself. I recently acquired 2, count 'em, 2 1967 Triumph Bonneville T120R engines and frames! For free!! One of 'em is basically hand grenaded, but it has a good case. The other is free and moving but the case is cracked. So I'm gonna take the two and make 'em one. Most of the other parts have been stripped already or are beyond repair. But it's a good start.

I have enough parts bikes in the back yard that I can (with a little creative southern engeniring) use to make a real 1-up custom ride. Being a Brit bike I cant go through my normal suppliers. So I'm not having much luck tracking down parts (such as seals, gaskets, bushings, grommets, etc.) so any help in this endeavor would be greatly appreciated.

Ride hard and ride safe.
