I was doing some reading on them,and they have some Yamaha,parts as well,
it would be cool if they were in kit foam,not just action figure ones,or made be you could build,but trying to find the bikes used,:rolleyes:

Walking Dead's Daryl Rides a Triumph...ish

The Walking Dead is back. If you're a fan of the show, you may be interested to know Daryl Dixon rides a vintage Triumph chopper motorcycle. Actually it's a Yamaha XS650 frame with a 1965-1970 Triumph Bonneville engine. The website EatSleepRide reports that prior to the fame and fortune acting has brought him, actor Norman Reedus regularly spun wrenches at a local motorcycle shop which served him as an income and soul food. Bits and pieces of the bike have changed through the 3 seasons, but the British engine and Japanese frame configuration remains the same.

That's what I got Monica you could do the Honda as that's in kit form but would still need modifications but no joy on the triumph

 

[monica]

oh that sounds good,is it the right model ? plus you wound need a Yamaha as well,in the right model ? ,also to make the build,
the other is just the Triumph motor in a Yamaha frame, will have a look for some chopper kits maye there is some around,
very simulate to it,

 

[monica]

well 30c hear today,to hot to go for a walk to catch monster,s in the creepy park,,need a very big Shepherd,:D
see even the pussa was feeling the heat as well,:D
but anyway got some more done to this hug,o_O
had to put the decals,on the guards,and also ,on the tank,start to hookup some of the pluming,
need to get a few bits on,and let set,before moving on,next will be some touch up work,before moving on,
well hope your enjoying this build as ,much as I,won,t to do the bike proud,:D

have the exhaust,s on,foot pegs,and other bits and bob,s so need to let things set and dry,still need to do some

Looking good. This kit here is a Fat Boy which has an Evolution engine .
The manufacturer took their Shovelhead engine and stuck on Evo rocker boxes ( at the top of the engine) , rather than re-tool for an complete new engine. Like Revell did , taking the 1/9 Cop bike Shovelhead engine and plopping Knucklehead rocker boxes on top for the L.A.Street Chopper kit.
The triumph could be made from the old Revell kit 1/9 scale. Its a single carb Tiger. The frame looks Triumph to me , but pic is too far away and the saddlebags cover most of it. Don't like the Nazi tank art , only other Triumph kit is a 1/24 from waay back.
