So here is my 741 Bobber from Ontario, Canada. I was
standing in Grog’s shop one day when we got a call from Eddie. He was at a
meet in the USA, and wondered if we wanted a substantially incomplete
741 Basket Case. The price was right so we couldn’t refuse and decided to
split on the package. Somehow I wound up with the drive train and had to
build up from there.
The engine came with the rear cylinder
fit to a Bonneville Sport Scout Piston but the Front cylinder was NOS.
Luckily we found another bonneville piston in Grog’s piston pile so I was
on my way. Between scrounging on ebay, the internet, swap meets, my spares
pile and bits my brother left at my place, this is what I came up with.
Along the way I created some patterns and had them cast up at a local
foundry to add “jewelry” to the project.
