You see the triumph forks have rake in them as the stem is set back from the fork but since the springer is inline it lessens the wheel distance. Hopefully it should be ok. I dig the look but it is probably within a couple of inches (wheel to frame)!Stretchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17532507574445979521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175465639556681981.post-45761004092701647042009-04-23T21:24:00.000-07:002009-04-23T21:24:00.000-07:00Looks great man.

Also that '57 Triumph sounds really cool as I had a '56 T-110 back in 2000 and I never should have gotten rid of that thing as it had the nacelle and was pretty much bone stock.Stretchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17532507574445979521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175465639556681981.post-53152336999203891582009-04-22T06:47:00.000-07:002009-04-22T06:47:00.000-07:00Fork is off a 20s Harley single.Fork is off a 20s Harley single.Stretchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17532507574445979521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175465639556681981.post-75191680549558022922009-04-22T05:56:00.000-07:002009-04-22T05:56:00.000-07:00Looking Good.
