Custom Triumph 650 Built For Actor Ryan Reynolds.

Published by Cyril Huze July 14th, 2012 in Builders, Customs and Editorial.

This 1964 Triumph 650 named ‘The Nine O’Clock Gun’ was built over the past six months by Founder/Builder Lucas Joyner of The Factory Metal Works (TFMW) for his client actor Ryan Reynolds (appeared in films such as National Lampoon’s Van Wilder, Just Friends, Definitely, Maybe, The Proposal, The Change-Up, and Safe House.) Reynolds is scheduled to pick up the motorcycle at The Factory Metal Works in Concord, North Carolina in early August. He already owns a Triumph Bonneville and a Ducati.

A 6-month work, this project uses a vintage 64 Triumph engine cradled in a one of a kind custom TFMW frame with 5″ stretch and 3″ drop.   w Late ’60s shaved and lowered front fork section. Original ’60s Wassell Banana Tank with custom molding and ribs. TFMW super narrow top frame section with duplex style front Eurostyle 7/8 bars. Full molded ribs down the center of the side bars on the frame. Tiger Cub front brake with stock pre-’70s triumph rear brake. Avon 21″ front tire and 18″ x 4 Firestone rear tire. Custom sissy bar. Custom chrome oil tank. Super skinny rigid banana style seat and tons of other extra TFMW parts.
