Picture Of The Day .. !!


Triumph Black Betty by Steel Bent Customs

Triumph customs get all the press – and all the Likes on Facebook too (if you count that sorta thing as important). Either way, you can spend all day looking at the various custom Trumpets that pro builders have put together recently, but few come out as strong and purposeful-looking as Black Betty by Steel Bent Customs.
The bike is built around a 1999 Adventure and as usual, Michael Mundy and the crew set to work  cleaning out her midframe out her mid frame – the SBC signature.
To get the SBC skinny-Brat rear they fabricated the subframe and hiked-up the seat, adding a custom unit from Lance’s Upholstery. Next up, hide the battery, re-work the electrics, and fit a screaming custom 3 into 1 exhaust.  The custom clubman bars & single mini gauge really let the shape of the tank stand out, accentuating her hunched-up design.

Triumph Bonneville "The Villian"


This bike started off as a 750cc 1973 Triumph Bonneville. It has had at some point a frame up rebuild with powder coated frame and new wiring harness.

To pay respect to the bike i decided not to cut the rear frame but make everything fit around it. Custom made seat to match the frame and tank mounts to position the professionally painted tank proportionally for rider comfort and overall visual balance.

New Mikuni carbs help the bike with overall performance and a new set of custom pipes help it breathe and gives her that classic Triumph sound with a beautiful deep note. Plenty of finishing touches like hand made copper washers and upgraded controls make this bike a pleasure to ride.
