1- you need a rear fender, your license plate was working as one before you relocated it. Unless you don’t mind ruining all of your clothes. 2- by running the new pipes under the frame you lost ground clearance. 3- you should consider adding a skid plate, because the oil filter sits outside of the frame carriage. I like that you upgraded the entire wheel. That was a smart move.
Thanks for the feedback. The bike is a work in progress so I still might add the rear fender. Would have put Scrambler pipes on it but the angle out of the engine doesn’t work on this model
I would’ve just bought a different exhaust, going off road if you somehow how over a huge rock, you could ruin your exhaust. BUT! The bike is beautiful!
A couple of days ago, I ordered the same chain and sprockets from New Bonneville, but they no longer ship to Hawaii. So I ordered very similar parts from Canyon. Thanks Canyon!!!
a cafe racer isnt called that because you can stop for coffee and look cool. In the UK, people use to race motorbikes from cafe to cafe, and they eventually started making their bikes as fast as possible, by removing unnessecary parts. THAT is why they are called cafe racers
Loved this!! Looking forward to seeing more Motorcycle adventures from you guys! The Bonneville is such a fantastic base, it's the most versatile model Triumph makes it goes from a beautiful show bike, street bike to a fantastic base for long distance travel. (I love my Tiger and would never get rid of him, but I will admit I've dreamed of owning a Bonnie. I work at Latus Triumph in Portland OR so I get to see them everyday. Hit us up if you're ever in the PNW! )
Instead of listening to your music, I prefer listening to the music of the motor. perhaps, let us hear the "before" sound of the exhaust; then the "after" sound of the exhaust. The sound of the motorcycle is one of the reasons I have been riding for almost 60 years.
I’m getting a Bonneville that’s like yours before you modified it, I will be putting a brown seat on it and tires with black rims , makes it look so much sexier
VAGA BROTHERS, I just bought a new T120 Black and am shopping for fender eliminators. With your eliminator solution, how much dirt/water/grime spray to you get that finds its way over the plate?
You put new shocks on to get more clearance then put pipes that run under the bike that greatly lessen the clearance?It's like wearing a high vis shirt and camo pants.The bike looks good though.
Awesome motorcycle but in my opinion you should have put the exhaust somewhere a lil higher for a better ground clearance to get that proper scrambler look
That was the plan but the scrambler pipes don’t fit on this bike because of the angle they come out of the engine. Otherwise that’s 100% what I would have done. Given that I couldn’t mount the pipes up high, I decided to go with the lowest profile setup- the slash cut
Enfields look great but I’ve heard they have relatively less power. The Bonneville is a really accessible bike but also has a ton of horsepower. Triumph would be my pick any day
vagabrothers right on! I was completely enamored with the bonneville ever since I saw Brad Pitt ride a similar cafe racer in ‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’... I’ll most likely pick one up in the near future... appreciate the info guys!
Any interest in sportbikes and maybe a track day or race? If you guys are into high adrenaline sports/activities I'd say it's definitely a bucketlist item!
Dude, don't you think that it's more easier to remove the number plate that to put a blur filter in the hole video? consider this! That's a lovely little monster btw! Drive safe!
It looks good dude enjoy it. I've been looking at the new scrambler 1200 XE myself. But I just built an oldschool KZ750 caferacer so that'll have to wait. Lol
beautiful build..love British customs..missed building out my Bonneville..now have aTiger...would have loved to hear your bike Sing....any videos of that.
I'm fixing to get my Licence in the spring this year. I like the idea of a Sport/Touring bike; has the sports look, but sit & ride like a touring bike. Think like... the BMW FJ800. As nice as BMW is, they are way over my budget. Suggestions?
No idea what an BMW FJ is, but why not go for a used F650GS, around 2006 model year? Obviously no sports look but it has got an indestructable 650cc single cilinder engine (Rotax engine), doesn't break your bank account if you drop it, easy enough to work on yourself, allows for some on- and offroad and is not too intimidating as a first bike. Shouldn't be too expensive; look for the ABS models. They even got heated grips and often come with panniers/boxes. And....it's a BMW.
@@MrSjeupie Wow! Thank you for the info! I'll have to look for one. I've gotten my licence now and I was thinking of getting a Yamaha Bolt, But you've given me something else to look for. Thank you!
@@YoFreshWiggy No worries mate, good to hear you've got your license now :-) Just go out and try different bikes; they're all fun in their own way. Go for the bike that makes you smile in your helmet, is not too shiny so it doesn't break your heart (and bank account) when you inevitably drop it or scratch it at some point, and is a bit forgiving when you make a mistake; everybody does but certain bikes will simply punish you harder than others. Oh, and a final piece of advice that I received when I got my license and like to pass on to you: ride as fast as you like on a motorcycle. Just never hurry on a motorcycle. Stay safe and enjoy the ride!
Does the tail light have built in turn signals, couldn't see them anywhere else looks sick pretty keen to get the same look, but in New Zealand we have to have rear turn signals..Cheers guys great content very inspiring..
If you do, make sure you keep he exhaust above the frame rails incase it bottoms out. Also, unless you want spray from rain/mud, keep the rear fender on and just buy the British Customs Retro Tail Light, and get four MotoGadget M.Blaze Pin indicators to remove the ugly indicators, and get an x-pipe but not new silencers incase you drop it... you'll ruin $700+ cans.
If you guys ever get the chance we have some great roads over here in NZ for bikes. I recently went down to the south island for the first time - unfortunately only in a car - but there were some really nice roads that I want to go back down and try on the bike
I’d recommend the rear brake hanger mod. The rear brake comes underslung from the factory but the mod swaps it so that the brake rises above the rotor and away from all the road crap and rocks. I do believe the exhaust compromises your off roading ability though but otherwise I love the work you’ve done. Mines a T100 black in a similar vein as yours.
Great video guys, I hope the time you’ve taken to produce this film encourages other young/new riders to work on their bikes and have their own travel adventures. Cheers Boys.
Sweet bike! What's the name? A bike like that deserves a name. I'm currently having a blast on my '08 Triumph Daytona 675 (Artoria Pendragon). You should take a ride up the coast. Plan on checking out the redwoods and riding Hwy 36. Look me up and we can ride together. Good year and good times.
Use his garage? He did all the work!
Come on , he did carry the wheel .
I was gonna say the same thing. They have a super popular motorcycle channel and clearly don't know anything other than how to ride them.
That old chain probably did have a master link. If it was the stock chain it may not have had on but I bet there was one on there
Hey he held a part or two.. influencers.. sheesh

My husband enjoyed this vlog. He used to work for Triumph Motorcycles in England.
Cool !!
calling the grinder a saw cheered me up!
🤷🏼♂️

It's an Instagram bike he doesn't care

Exchaust pipes underneath the frame and engine?! Hows that riding of road?
because hes a poser
Squid Sim really wise ass jealous 😂😂😂
Well let's be honest he's not gonna gob truly off road just a few dirtb roads and chose that style. Im sure he sticks to Hwy most of the time
Oh my god 😍 that’s my dream motorcycle !!
I know, right!

I think this new Scrambler style looks even better!
You gotta post more videos of the bike!!! maybe make a small series where you and your brother show the bikes, ride them, etc.
Soooo...all that and you didn't even fire it up for us?! Over 1M subs and that's the best you can do?
Your bike looks sick Marko! Love it! 🏍 😍
I’m not even into bikes , but this bike is BEAUTIFUL! 👀
😏
Awesome, thanks for walking us through your BC mods in detail - Likes; Scrambler style, knobbies, pipes, Dogtown t and best of all John, dudes a G!!
Off topic, but what jacket is that? The brown leather color is exactly what I'm looking for, it's awesome.
I had the same question
Pipes look like a kid built them. John did all the work
Phenomenal video! Loved every second!
It's the Daryl Dixon bike. All you need is a crossbow mount.
Wow didn’t know I liked bikes till I saw this one!
Yeaaaa
This is not just a bike. This is a piece of art.
This thing is a beast!! looks awesome
Super cool bike Hope you enjoy it!
Not exactly a video I would expect on this channel, but was not disappointed. Do moarrr bike videos, pls.
That's first for me, I didn't know what caferacer means until I watched this video. Super cool bike! Big Thumb's up for you!
And after watched this video you still don’t know what a cafe racer means!!!
Hey Marko. Although I am not into bikes, I am still watching it. I just love you explaining things.😂😂😂
Have a great week.
Thanks for the video. What jacket is that, if I may ask?
Bike looks tough! Nice build.
british customs has excellent customer service
John is the man super cool take care of him I’d say lifetime supply of brews btw sweet ride
Most beautiful bonneville I have ever seen.
If you do want to take it offroad, put the rear fender back on so you don't get mud/dirt/etc flinging up onto your back.
Sounds so good!
4:33 dogtown for the win! beautiful bike bud. Inspiring!
VAGA BROTHERS, I just bought a new T120 Black and am shopping for fender eliminators. With your eliminator solution, how much dirt/water/grime spray to you get that finds its way over the plate?
Omg Marco that bike is Fawesome Broski!
Did you raise the front at all or just the back? How does that affect the ride?
I like the production of your videos. Good to see you taking the time to make it look good!
Hello. Great bike! I just got a 07 Bonneville and I was wondering what you had to do to the carbs when adding these pipes? Thanks
Awesome bike! Can't wait to see more adventure videos with your bikes guys. Safe riding.
Guuuauuu looks amazing , ready for mountains ride!!
You put new shocks on to get more clearance then put pipes that run under the bike that greatly lessen the clearance?It's like wearing a high vis shirt and camo pants.The bike looks good though.
Great video! It needs a splash guard though, highly highly recommend that to anyone going softroading on a moto.
Awesome motorcycle but in my opinion you should have put the exhaust somewhere a lil higher for a better ground clearance to get that proper scrambler look

vagabrothers I love the look of the Slash TTs. How loud are they really? Obnoxious?
Where’s that jacket from?
that's badass! how does the bonneville compare to the royal enfields?
Enfields look great but I’ve heard they have relatively less power. The Bonneville is a really accessible bike but also has a ton of horsepower. Triumph would be my pick any day
vagabrothers right on! I was completely enamored with the bonneville ever since I saw Brad Pitt ride a similar cafe racer in ‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’... I’ll most likely pick one up in the near future... appreciate the info guys!
Forrest Lee I have both and love them . The Triumph is so much faster, the Enfield is like a slow tractor next to my bonneville
jimmy Lincoln Now I’m fully 100 percent picking up the Bonneville over the Enfield, thanks for the feedback!
They are different bikes, RE are one cylinder, much cheaper bikes and they look like a 50’s classic
Any interest in sportbikes and maybe a track day or race? If you guys are into high adrenaline sports/activities I'd say it's definitely a bucketlist item!
*BEAUTIFUL*
a great start to this year, it look amazing! i loved it
What a wonderful bike !!!! Wowwwww so nice video !!!!
Marco is back being cute😀
Now that SOUNDS like a Triumph!
Dude, don't you think that it's more easier to remove the number plate that to put a blur filter in the hole video? consider this! That's a lovely little monster btw! Drive safe!

Whic company or brand leather jacket do you wear
Happy New year bro.
I like the jacket,where can I order one online. THANKS
beautiful build..love British customs..missed building out my Bonneville..now have aTiger...would have loved to hear your bike Sing....any videos of that.
Love it. Thinking of doing something like this with my 2005 bonnie
Dude, that thing is sweet!

I really enjoy following your lives.
That is SUCH a crazy kool bike now - I'M SOOOOOOO JEALOUS!!!!
😂
*Paris Hilton voice* That's hawt.
Also, wow! Shout out to all my fellow motorcycle lovin peeps!
SaahhhWeeet Bike!!! Hey, I am in San Pedro. Come on down sometime.
Happy New year 😊😊
That’s it I’m buying one
🙌🏼

Marco, has anybody ever told you that you look like the Italian Soccer player Andrea Pirlo? Love your videos!
In my eyes the bike looks dope! 🤘🏻 I would drive it too if I could 😅
More of this type of motorcycle mod content and I'll definitely subscribe!
wow really incredible video. i love it superb. have a lovely week. thumbs up!
You too!
Sorry mate, but that exhaust - for going off-road? Good luck!
Good video mate...Looks to me like you need the new Triumph scrambler 1200 .
What were the suspension upgrades?
Would love that CSNY album you have in the back.
Those Seats are awesome! Are those seats just as easy as taking them off and just put them in?
If you guys ever get the chance we have some great roads over here in NZ for bikes. I recently went down to the south island for the first time - unfortunately only in a car - but there were some really nice roads that I want to go back down and try on the bike
Great build but longer shocks on the back will push the front down so did you do anything to the front forks/springs to heighten it?
Great vid! Would love to see more motorcycle travel stuff!
I’d recommend the rear brake hanger mod. The rear brake comes underslung from the factory but the mod swaps it so that the brake rises above the rotor and away from all the road crap and rocks. I do believe the exhaust compromises your off roading ability though but otherwise I love the work you’ve done. Mines a T100 black in a similar vein as yours.
didn't know yall are badass too
Have the same seat in grey. love it.
Ah man didn’t even here it with the new pipes!!!!
😻 perfect! Greetings from 🇨🇷
Excellent real cool bike. 👍🏼
Nice bike, I'd have used a torque wrench on the sprocket and disc though
Love the bike ...love them panniers ..... Fred
What brand is the racer jacket?
Great video guys, I hope the time you’ve taken to produce this film encourages other young/new riders to work on their bikes and have their own travel adventures. Cheers Boys.
Stay safe!
What Boots and Jacket are those?
Johns a biker, I'm not sure about you but well done for getting some oil on you.
Sweet bike! What's the name? A bike like that deserves a name. I'm currently having a blast on my '08 Triumph Daytona 675 (Artoria Pendragon). You should take a ride up the coast. Plan on checking out the redwoods and riding Hwy 36. Look me up and we can ride together. Good year and good times.
Where can I get a set of those pipes for my T-100 carb ? I looked on BC but did not see them.
whitch exhaust is on the bike? thank you
Nice bike, I love it
Awesome vlog! Where did you get that awesome brown leather jacket?
it’s from Roland Sands!
