Price On Request People drop in to Ellaspede for varying reasons, one of the main ones being (not surprisingly) to talk bikes. Our latest client, Steve S was one of those folk. He was interested in discussing which motorcycle to use as a base for a mild custom build. After some chat, research and box ticking he'd narrowed the possible list of candidates to just a few.Steve showed up some weeks later with a bike that ticked more boxes than the rest he'd looked at... the ever-popular Triumph Bonneville. This one was an '07 model, sporting some custom bolt- on items.And they're popular for a reason... they're a good all-rounder that seem to hold their value pretty well, (here in Australia at least). Of course this also makes the task of customising them that much harder, unless you just want to produce a bike based on some the many after-market goodies available. Steve didn't want that, so over a few meetings and correspondence we set about designing something to suit his brief.The result, whilst clearly still a Triumph, uses a mix of styles that blend through the use of colour coding and texture, producing a cool classy cruiser... All the C's!!One of Steve's main requirements was the stance... he wanted it low. The exact height remained a bit of a mystery though until the double stripe Shinko rear tyre was fitted up to the custom 16 x 4.25 rim and a trial fitting took place so we could spec suitable height shocks.Progressive shocks made for a Harley Sportster with custom shims and bump stops take care of the rear whilst simple fork protrusion helps at the front to get the height down. Of course there's a price to pay in the handling department, but Steve convinced us he was aware...
