1956 Triumph 650

Gavin Venter Custom Build

$POA

Introducing The Dust Devil, a Triumph 650 custom built from parts sourced from ten different motorcycles. At its heart is a pre-unit 650 engine using a 1956 TR6 bottom end with an early Bonneville eight-stud top end, fitted into a 1954 frame with a custom-made hardtail rear. Other parts include a Suzuki PE175 front wheel, Triumph rear wheel, Suzuki GT250 rear brake with a GSX-R250 torque arm, Suzuki forks, Kawasaki yokes, a Suzuki A100 tank, Yamaha carburettors and a heavily modified Suzuki 750 Intruder rear guard. The oil tank is especially unusual, made from a modified SCUBA drysuit inflation cylinder.
