That is only an OPINION.... the featherbed frame is too long for a unit motor...
If you were, you would rank among the top finishers.I did't know i was entering a welding competition ...

I think the unit engine looks absolutely PERFECT in a Triton...

That is perfectly beautiful welding.
Ash if I did it wouldn't be a triton... I won't be scratch building but looking to buy a complete Tatty bike. Maybe if the motor that comes with the bike isn't fast or good enough i may change it..Pre units look better in the Featherbed frames, but why not build it with a Commando motor and keep it all Norton and with the motor tilting forward as the Commando's they look faster tilted lol, I built mine over 38 years ago converting as much of my Commando gear as I could use, with the HOT 850 and balanced crank its a pleasure to ride, super lite and handles like its on rails and very reliable.
The Commando motor just looks right in the Wideline frame, I have 2 modern Thruxtons and I still love riding my HOT Featherbed, its showing its age now but still gets many onlookers where ever I go or park up.
