I’d bought a 17 from the dealer and the previous owner was a Triumph man his entire riding career, anyway he,d done done Corbin seat the Fox shock, the mini apes with wind screen, the cat delete which I am personally thankful for , well along with the rest but that’s big, also all the extended cables that you need for the bars, it’s a total ripper and I love the bike, I really feel I’m just along for the ride on it and it’s just off to the races, most fun I’ve had riding in a long time
Yep, when I first got my Bobber I quickly realized that it is the most fun (if not fastest) bike I have ever had. However, it now trumps😉 the "Street Triple R" I had for speed now!
My favourite modes at the 30mm bar risers and drilling out the seat rail so it's further back. I'm 5'11 and I have hip problems because of a crash. These two mods helped a lot. Rear shock is on mu list
Great video, as ever. One of the nicest mods I’ve made which I don’t see very often is the ‘Wunderkind CNC Milled Upper Fork Covers’. They really make the front end look meaner and chunkier (now 55 mm, rather than standard 47 mm on Bobber Black). Purely aesthetic, but oh so enjoyable
I don’t think people change the seat because it is uncomfortable. It’s all about looks. I have a black leather diamond stitch see on mine and it its stunning. 🤩
I would have a look on pictures to see where they are positioned and try placing my feet there to find out. I can not use them. If I stretch my legs out in front my knee locks up and I can't get my leg back.!
Ive got a n 18 bobber black withe a morelo red tank. ive put on a number of bits for looks. For comfort, ive a bad back and knees, I did forward controls, a corbin seat, i then made some supports to make it a springer seat, X-pipe, airbox delete, I made a leather wire cover. Im thinking of the mimi apes, so far i have the motone up and over risers. Id like to go to a 7in headlight. Ima also thinking of the delkevic exhaust system which would eliminate the x-pipe. Also if i have room when i upgrade the headlight id like to in-let the speed-o into the top of the bucket.
@@brownco_customs actually riding a Husqvarna TE450.. which I mainly use for the trails.. great bike just sucks on the road haha wanting to get onto something more road friendly but if I can would like to keep the husky for the odd trip up to the forest
@@brownco_customs SIR I have ridden bikes since the 1970s the 'brakes let it down " myth is just that a "myth" its not a sports bike ride it for what it is....did you ever ride one? compared to the brakes on my 765 RS Street Triple then yes they atre Inferior but compared to the brakes on my FS1E or my Matchless or B31 BSA or even the brakes on my old RD350LC they are more than adequate........have you changed the bars or rear light cluster yet? totally changes the bike
I test rode both before I bought my Bobber Black. It was the brakes that were the deciding factor. Changing the lights is on the list. I do like the bars, they work well for me.

I will look into this as I still haven’t found a good spot for the seat.
@@brownco_customs I drilled out the seat rail on the last dimple. It looks to be done for that. But triumph have not.
@@Go_ride_your_bike Thanks for letting me know about this. I have just made a short about it to help spread the word.

Cheers, Adam. Nice! Personally, I do like the chunkier look at the front.

Nice!
I am wondering what you think of the forward controls on the Bobber? Might there be a problem for short-legged individuals?
I would have a look on pictures to see where they are positioned and try placing my feet there to find out. I can not use them. If I stretch my legs out in front my knee locks up and I can't get my leg back.!

Sounds good! It's a shame we cant post pictures here.
@@brownco_customs True, not that it would have helped me. Unless i got my son to upload it. :)
I'm seriously considering a 2021/2022 bobber as they now come standard with bigger tank, upgraded suspension and brembos 👌
I don't reckon it would be a bad decision. What do you ride now?
@@brownco_customs actually riding a Husqvarna TE450.. which I mainly use for the trails.. great bike just sucks on the road haha wanting to get onto something more road friendly but if I can would like to keep the husky for the odd trip up to the forest
I have a 2022 for about a week now, great bike but suspension still not good imo, ordered Wilber's
@@lapinobel Hi Hans, dit you got the Wilber's already, could you share your experience?
@@dtordeurs yes but didn't do much, sold the bobber already :/
nearly bought a Bobber Black but settled on the standard Bobber...Sooooooooo glad I did it is hands down the better looking bike
It does look good. The brakes let it down though.

The best mods I did are the rear shock and fuel management system.
Re map is definitely a good one!
Would you consider clip on bars?
I have been thinking about it lately yes.
Good video once again, mate!
Happy to see my name in it ^^
Cheers!
Great content m8, l was wondering about the mirrors, do they touch the tank on full lock when you flip them like you have?
Regards lee
No they are fine.
@@brownco_customs cheers
Which brand of exhaust in ur bobber
Video about it here th-cam.com/video/mWwu4l8MPAU/w-d-xo.html
Did you have to tune it when the airbox delete was done ?
I didn't as I don't think changing the air filter makes a great deal of difference. I only did it for the looks.
@@brownco_customs It does, I did the DNK before the air box delete then after and it made a difference.
Are there any mods for improvement ground clearance?
I have a video called "flipping links" that might help you out a bit.
yes its called a Scrambler
or a Honda Africa
