2015 Triumph Bonneville T-100 BBR Brawler
Triumph Bonneville T-100 Black Custom Brawler
We first crossed paths with Rick a few years ago when he asked us to do a couple minor mods on his beautiful Ducati Street Fighter. He was happy with our work along with some of the custom builds we had already produced at that time. He mentioned that he may one day commission BBR to take on a full blown project with him - fast forward a few years and he once again took a leap of faith with us and committed to allowing BBR to find him the perfect platform bike for a bad-ass brawler machine. We found him a beautiful Triumph T-100 Bonneville with just over 2,200 original miles. He gave us some general ideas and guidelines and let us go to town on her. The overall design reflects some of Rick's interests, background, military service, wish-list items and BBR's interpretation of what he was looking for. Like most of our bikes, we kept her simple and only made changes/mods that made sense for Rick.
Rick's son and Father were there for the unveiling - they all absolutely loved the bike, especially Rick! And we know he will really connect with her more and more as he gets more time in that horse hide leather seat! |
As usual, we have included lots of photos showing the before/during/after phases of the work. Sure, many of the Triumph purists will look down their noses at her now ... which is fine as we are all entitled to our own opinion(s). For us, the focus of the modifications was all about doing our best to meet the expectations of our customer and now true friend. Our blessing was the opportunity to connect with Rick and his family - all incredible folks! We feel fortunate that our path crossed with Rick's. Enjoy your new ride Sir!
