Dean's 1956 Triumph Tiger 'Gold Digger'
The name of the bike is Gold Digger which held true during the building of the bike. I think we all know how fast these projects can get out of hand and how broke you truly can become at times. Also I know how much time/money and effort this bike will require in the future like a true Gold Digging Bitch.
- 1956 Triumph Tiger T-110 650cc 4 speed
- It has a 12v conversion and a Joe Hunt Magneto.
- I went with Biltwell Chumps handlebars and a narrow Freddy Hernandez springer front end, no front brake.
- It has a horseshoe oil tank, 16-130 rear tire, and a stock rear drum break all on a David Bird hardtail with a 2" stretch and 2" drop.
The pretty stuff:
Paint is Pagan Gold Metalflake over Birch White (by SteveO at Liquid Illusions) with red pin striping (by Vince Balistreri)
Leather seat by Duane Ballard
Fabrication was by Jimmy Dell and engine work was by Deep South Cycles in Mississippi.
