James Sherrod of San Antonio, TX sent us these photos of his fantastic 2001 Triumph Bonneville. This hugger orange and jet black “barnfind” paint job is definitely one of a kind, and as James told us, “It grabs your attention and pulls you in.” Only certain bikes have the lines and heritage to pull off this type of paint job and Triumph definitely is one of those and more.

For a custom lowered look, James installed the Triumph Lowered Progressive Forks, plus Norman Hyde M Bars to complete the look for the front of his Triumph. To create a more finished look and provide further protection to the lifter arm, James installed the British Customs Clutch Lifter Arm Finisher. He finished off the transformation by installing custom chrome side covers and a suede seat for more comfort.

The look of his Triumph Motorcycle definitely wasn’t the only thing that James worked on. For better performance and sound, he upgraded his exhaust along with Nology ProFire Ignition Coil.

We love what you did with this bike, James. As he put it best, “Old school meets new school for the best of both worlds” with this bike.

Check out this 2009 Triumph Bonneville T100 belonging to Jim Horner in Bandon, SD. We know Jim pretty well now, and we’re glad he sent us these photos of his finished bike. Jim bought this bike after it was in a front end collision. There was no headlight, no gauges, ruined tank, plus a multitude of other things that were missing or ruined. We’re amazed at what Jim was able to do!

Jim started the transformation of his motorcycle by focusing on power and performance. To unleash the power of his bike, Jim removed his air box with the British Customs Air Box Removal Kit, in addition to installing the Dynojet Power Commander V. Removing your air box with the BC kit allows more air to flow into the motor through two high flow air filters.

For better handling of his Triumph’s increased power and performance, Jim installed the British Customs 21″ Front Wheel Conversion Kit and the Wide Rear Wheel Kit. Steering dampner and billet fork brace were also installed to provide additional stability.

Now focusing on the look of his Triumph, Jim installed a new chrome master cylinder cover, lowered progressive fork springs, power coated rims, clubman bars, and billet risers with actual bull nose rings around the handlebar in between the risers. He, of course, had to get new gauges and a new tank.

Here’s what Jim had to say to us:

Thanks so much for your help, guys; this project turned out awesome. I couldn’t have done it without BC.

Mike Delfino is one of our biggest fans. He sent us these photos of his 2010 Triumph Speedmaster. He’s put a lot of work into his bike, and it looks really great. But we know Mike, and we know he’s not finished quite yet. Mike said to us, “Thanks BC for helping me get to this point.”  We’re always glad to help and we love what you did with your bike.

Performance Upgrades

Mike wanted to unleash the performance potential of his Speedmaster. He installed a custom exhaust; he also installed the British Customs Air Box Removal Kit to allow for maximum air intake to pass into the cylinder-head increasing overall performance.

Aiden T. from somewhere in California sent us these great photos of his 2011 Triumph Bonneville SE. He’s a big fan of BC and we’re a big fan of him. To clean up the tail end of his Bonnie, Aiden used the British Customs Cat Fender Eliminator Kit, a completely bolt on solution part designed to create a cleaner and more custom look to the tail end of your bike. He coupled this upgrade with bullet brushed turn signals. Additionally Aiden installed the Sixty8 Series Seat, Seat Cowl, M-Bar and bar end mirrors to complete his desired look.

Here’s what Aiden had to say about us:

[British Customs] was amazing in helping me find the right parts for my Bonne to make it look just like i wanted to. Next change out Triumph Bonneville Mag Wheel Predator Performance Package.

Thank you British Customs.
