I think if I remember right Don Pender built an 865 Triumph motor in a Featherbed frame, fitted good but he had to cut and mod the top side rails for when he wanted to pull the valve covers off to do the valves for servicing, it looked good as well, I am hooked on Featherbed frames from a early age at 17 when I road my mates 750 Commando/Featherbed, it was a good bike to ride but my mate Don was a bit of a rough builder and his ideas of having a hot motor was too much and become very un-reliable, I built mine completely different to Don's ways, after he sold my the featherbed frame back in 1979 he started to built Tritons into the Featherbeds frames he had.He still can't believe how reliable mine has been for over 44 years I built it.
