This will probably be the last I'll do for a wile,My mate who's bike it is will be going back to norway sunday.
We tried the tank on just to see what it looked like,This is a modern triumph tank,looks better in the flesh,
and we tried the rear wheel in,so that i could weld in the top and bottom crossbrace.

Hi Hunter, bike's looking sweet..........

The rear wheel looks Harley (Iron head sporty maybe?)
Is that a Triumph bolt-on 7" brake drum by chance???

Question if it is, with the chain aligned, did you have to offset/change the rim-to-hub to ensure the tyre was correctly aligned? (ie was the rim offset OK as it was?)
I've heard some folk move the engine to the left a bit to allow wider tyres to clear the chain, just wondering how this all lined up.

Thanks Andy,I have actually handed it back the the owner for him to complete.

Tony not sure what rim is off,And yes trump hub.
As for alignment the sprocket has a spacer behind it.
