TR6 Trophy Pre-Unit Build


Cliff went up to The Midlands earlier and scored a Sportster front end complete with a 21  for his Trophy build. Looks to have dropped into the TFMW frame without a lot of heartache, although the tyre looks a little snug for comfort up against the front rails.


He says the fork tubes are three inches out of the top yoke, and the reduced gap between the top of the slider and the bottom yoke give it a cool, punchy look. It'll look nice if he can pull it off.


It'll be a matter of undoing the top nuts on the legs and releasing the springs to see just how close it all becomes, he may be glad it's a Duplex style frame.

Pre Unit Trophy Project




Mentioned in the post the other day that we had been up north to pick up the start of Cliff's project. Well, this is what he came back with, the frame is new TFMW  4" stretch, 2" drop I think ya call it. Rebuilt alternator 650 Trophy (TR6) motor and reconned gearbox, and the rest is self explanatory. As good a start to a custom build as you could reasonably hope for I guess.
