H20...lots of bobber sites and individual blogs on Turnips if you just google "Triumph bobbers."
Although primarily geared to cafe racers, some at www.ace-cafe-london.com also search youtube to find vids like this: You may wanna snag a ride on one before you build/buy one...with primitive front forks and solid rear (non)- suspension, they''ll beat you to death.

don't screw up a stock original bike. there are always horrible amateur chopped triumphs on craigslist. far better to rescue one of those.

Well, a few weeks ago I came home with 2 (!) 1977 cb550's. I paid the whopping sum of $260 for both. One bike is missing the front forks and wheel. The other bike is 100% complete and running. I have stripped both down the the frame and started refurbing lots of little parts. I ordered a seat a tank from Benjie at Benjie's Cafe Racer and stainless spokes (those buggers are expensive!). I have been learning a lot from sohc4.net but I will make sure to keep you guys posted. I have some pictures that I will post later. I've got an idea what the final product will look like and even have a paint scheme picked out. You will have to wait and see...

yeah, i just joined. it appears that there is a good knowledge base for triumphs there. i've torn nearly everything down on mine and rebuilt it, but friends are always good to have when it comes to british iron.
