Triton sitting up!

I know it doesn't look like much but there is lots of thought and work involved to get her to this point.

Frame shortened 2.5"
swing arm lengthened 3"
steerer tube shortened 5/8"
forks to be shortened almost 4"

Special #6.2

I have been working on so revisions to trusty old Special #6 the past couple of weeks. It all started with a new battery box and now I am building an entirely new seat. This seat is all aluminum as opposed to the original which is all stainless. I wanted a back to it as well as a bit of a cafe racer hump so here you can see me mocking up the panels with the seat travel fully compressed.


I have a few ideas on how I will do the upholstery but the trick will be designing something I can fabricate myself.


This project is a good warm up to all the sheet metal work I'll be doing on the Triton project soon!
