For example the Manx rear hub was a conical design. Of course you can purchase used or replica Manx hubs but they are not cheap. Replicas can easy cost $2000.
Fortunately the rear hub on OIF (Oil In Frame) Triumphs and BSAs from the early 70s are also conical. And a lot cheaper and more plentiful than an original Manx hub. And they work just fine. If you're lucky it might cost you $50.
Other alternatives are to use Norton hub from a Featherbed model, or even a later Commando hub.
Another area that you have some freedom is with the exhaust. Apparently the most popular style is the swept-back exhaust that I first recall seeing on the original Triumph Thruxtons.

Another option is a 2 into 1 exhausts such as this one.
