Thats some wild paint.Not to crazy about using the swing arm as part of the hard tail, but would love to have that in my garage.

I think it's a bolt-on hardtail section.

Yep, there are several types of custom paint on here that were popular in the 60s-70s.
Endless line, lace, panels, shading, others...

As this bike was built originally in 1960, it came with a swingarm, which the builder has utilized creating a STRUTTED swingarm. All the hardtail sections connect to the frame down where the exhaust passes under and past the back of the frame. And, I can see that he used the stock swingarm. Knowledge from an old chopper builder. Triumphs were very popular back in the day. Remember; if you don't wrench your ride, you're not a biker - just an enthusiast.
