Yeah...we can fix your Triumph

...and your Harley, BSA, Norton, Matchless, Indian, Yamaha, Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, etc. If you have a Triumph that needs work though, it will feel right at home for its stay.

Now powdercoating large items!

The oven is built! We have been powder coating in-house for a long time now, but had to send off frames, rims, etc. Now we can meet all of your cycle needs. The first big items aren't exactly bike parts, but you get the idea.


JaPanhead First Start

Overdue JaPanhead Update 3

One day before Daytona: Off the middle room lift and ready to ride.


Everybody has to take a turn sitting on JaPanhead!




Overdue JaPanhead Update 2

The final, pre-Daytona rush:




Overdue JaPanhead Update 1

So after a month it's time to get off my ass and update the progress on the bike. Daytona has come and gone, and JaPanhead made it - we just didn't get around to posting any updates. Here ya go:

Front End, milled and cleaned up with foglight for a headlight




Engine mount


Temporary oil tank to make it to Daytona

JaPanhead gets a tank










Lotta pics on this one....
Dennis settled on a Cole Foster tank for the project, and there has been a ton of light mods to get it mounted and right on the bike. Welded up the petcock, and tabbed it up to mount Jap style. This way, it will have no visible mounts from the outside. Decided to add a panel to the front to close up the front of the tunnel a bit. There is a lot of finish work left to do, but it looks good on the bike.
