Triton Project



This is my 1971 Triumph Bonneville 650cc engine.  The plan is to remove it from the triumph frame and put it into my 1963 Norton Featherbed  frame.  This was a common practice in England during the 50's and 60's.  The resulting hybrid motorcycle was called a Triton.  The Norton frame of that era handled better than anything else on the road.  Combine that with the more reliable and better performing Triumph engine and you have the ultimate cafe racer.

Stay tuned for updates.  Be patient, it could take a while.
