Triumph stunner is a brand new bitsa special
Take a standard Triumph and a host of Triumph parts from a mass of other Triumph bikes, have a vision of what you want to build then – voila! A super cool Triumph Bobster.
Check out this awesome-looking bike that is effectively a mash-up of several Triumph parts brought together to make this funky Bobster.
The bike is based on a Triumph Speedmaster and was put together by Pure Triumph at Wellingborough. Manager Kevin Linton explains: “We wanted to put together a bike that really fits in with the current custom scene. We have produced other bikes before, one of our most well known was the Daytona 675 and Speed Triple 1050 combination which also used just Triumph parts for the majority of the bike.
“With the Bobster the idea was to take the Speedmaster and change or swap parts with other bits from other Triumphs to come up with something pretty unique.”
The shop started with the standard Speedmaster then made a bespoke front and rear mudguard set and Daytona 675 light. The bike then has a Bonneville tank fitted while the original shocks were swapped over for a pair of ‘Progressive’ units.
Thunderbird bar risers and nose cone give the bike the protected-butsit-up look at the front, the bar end mirrors and integrated indicators are straight from the Triumph aftermarket catalogue.
Paintwork is done by 8 Ball, the company widely used by Triumph for limited-runs of current models (8 Ball recently painted the firm’s Explorer update models), the seat covering is bespoke for this particular motorbike.
Bonneville fork gaiters give the front end a sturdy look and the LED headlight sitting above the Rocket III spotlights is bang on the current motorcycle trend.
Speed Triple Arrow silencers have been used and to stay in the style of the machine overall they’ve been powder coated. Talking of style, the bike also gets whitewall Maxxis tyres and there’s machined throttle body tops, a choke knob and an oil filler cap too.
“In total, the build time took about 45 hours to complete but we had a clear idea of what we wanted to make. The Speedmaster is a great bike on its own and we knew that using it as a base would really reap a great looking custom.”
