Project started October 2003, makeover started Feb. 2019

22 March 2019:: I added more ribs to the cylinder heads, added the generator, changed the pipes again, changed the primary cover, added the shifter linkage and a kickstarter 4 March 2019: I replaced the modern 6-speed transmission and electric start with a more classic Triumph 4-speed. I made the mufflers 2 inches longer and remodeled the headers. I started making the frame look a bit more classic by replacing some the large diameter tube sections with tapered sections. Also I added more details to the luggage rack and the front fender. 13 February 2019 Time for a makeover, I replaced the Shovelhaed crankcases and cylinders with the lower end of a knucklehead, added long fenders and a luggagerack, changed the handlebars for a more relaxed sitting position, changed the wheels from 18" to 21", changed the color (again...) and have many more changes planned 10 February 2009: I am trying out some new rendering software and decided that my old Cadbike 23 would be a good "guineapig" to try out what this software can do;-) 5 April 2004: I added a big headlight, changed the colour back to mintgreen (the colour I started with.....) and concentrated on the background. I found a program that generates 3-dimensional trees for Pov-ray and I made some palmtrees to complete a beach-like background. 16 February 2004: I changed the colour again, added front and rear brakelines, added brake levers on handlebars and added brass nuts connecting pipes and intakemanifolds to the 4-valve cylinderheads.
