nice nice nice. I just got one of these. had a royal enfield classic before this one. which is trash in my opinion. night and day with this one. I've added delkevic exhaust and deleted the cats as well. love your paint job and mods. looks classy.
I pick my Bobber Black up tomorrow if all goes well, some good ideas in your video on making some improvements especially the indicator lights they make it look so sleek. Thanks for the tour of your Triumph Black Bobber.
What can I say - this is what a triumph should look like. Good job my friend. Only thing I would personally do is put the sweep back handle bars instead of the straight drags. Besides being comfy for a geezer like me, that’s what cool looks like for us old farts. I’m afraid I’m going to have to invest in one of these now! Magnificent job, sir. The one thing keeping me back from one in the old days was the 650 displacement. Now that they have doubled it, I have no excuse. Can hardly wait to scrape pegs on this scooter!
Cracking video and bike. I've got the kaki green tank with brown quilted seat. Hopefully going to add some bits this year. All the best from the West Coast of Scotland 👍
You should check out Thornton Hundred, they produce some of the best mods for the bobber ive seen. One of the best is the custom seat mount that has a light assembly beneath it built in, super cool build bud
Nice bike mate...I just sold mine but that's another story ....Erm the brass fitting you put on the gear shifter , you might want to try fitting some rubber O rings In the grooves use a dab of super glue so they don't fly off , It looks good and will save your left boot from wear and tear .
Beautiful bobber you have there, was hoping to hear you start it up 😂 on my list alongside a HD Low Rider S atm. Currently riding a Triumph Street Triple down under in Aus.
Subscribed and added on insta mate, great vid. From Northants myself, likewise brought my bike from Triumph Wellingborough, great lads there! Keep the vids coming mate 👍🏻🏍
Nice! Very nice! Done all the standard Triumph stuff to mine but you certainly have gone the extra mile. I'd guess this is the best one i have seen thus far. Hope you guys are out of any lockdown now....safe riding, thanks for the video - Cape Town, South Africa
Thanks for sharing mate, greeting from taiwan. After attracting by bobber series for several years, ur video is the reason I order my bobber yesterday. Due to arrival at Q3. however, really wants to know where u got that straight drag bar? Thanks for sharing your bike!
Great walk around of the work you did on your bike Tayls! I've been looking for a candidate for a modern bobber that I could put my own stamp on and have been leaning toward this Triumph. You have me leaning closer. Thanks Mate! Nicely done!
Looks amazing. I took one out and found foot controls difficult due to positioning, looks like the forward controls have stopped that and I’m loving the bars.
Great first video buddy. We are a motorcycle channel from Northamptonshire. And I’m a huge fan of the saints and triumph. looking forward to more videos 👍
Brilliant it’s not easy at the moment. We’ve got so many test ride/ reviews lined up but with everywhere shut. I just want to get out on the road again.
Nice tweaks mate. Subtle but affective. Decat’d my ST with some shorties and it really does make the difference. 👌 include a sound clip in the next one. 👍
Well done buddy. I have the same forward controls on my BB and would have preferred black, oh well 🤷🏻♂️. Subscribed in case you make some more stuff 🏍
Great first video, congrats! I'm looking to get a Bobber Black in the summer when I pass my test so really hungry for info. Would've done it already but for lockdown. Love the rear lighting system. And a good heads up with the seat. I was maybe looking at Alex Leathers in Germany for a custom seat, so would love to hear more about yours, and maybe the choices you discarded and near misses. More vids please 👍
Hi Geoff, Seats all good. I like the minimalist look so ever the custom expensive ones weren’t sleek enough for me. I’m going to get a passenger seat bracket as soon as Thorntonhundred has finished designing it.
Wish you're happy with your customisation. Nice handlebar and V&H exhaust (I have too). Honestly I do not like those (excessive) yellow scripts, nor the advanced (harley-style) footsteps. On my opinion the Bobber has a classic vintage soul ( from the 1940s original design), and I should prefer to maintain or improve this "old" look. Of course it is by our own personal concept of this Model... (Tip: the rear optional FOX adjustable absorber is a lot better than the standard one)
Thanks for the feedback Alberto! Not for everyone for sure but I also use this bike to support a friends brand which I love. Wolfpack larger. Look them up.
Great job. And very good for a first video! I'd go with a Beeline rather than a phone for the cleaner lines, and as you mentioned black ancillaries for the forwards, but otherwise it's a great build. Does the forwards and drag bars hurt your lower back on longer riders?
Hi Richard. Thanks for the message mate. I did used to use the beeline but decided I wanted my full phone capabilities in front of me. The beeline is a great bit of kit but I did struggle using it through busy London. The forwards and drags are a lot more comfortable than you think. I’m just short of 6foot ... they may be less comfortable for people under that.
Great video, well done mate 👍 I’ve added 55 mm black fork covers to my front suspension. Looks really chunky now, but now struggling to work out something for the indicators. I like those bar end indicators, but I assume you can’t have those and mirrors at the same time...?
Love the look! Great job of minimalism on the indicators. Who supplied the x-cat? Got some Motone bits on my 2020 Speedmaster-love those guys. Today, you’re getting a subscription from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, where this morning the temperature was -47 Celsius with the wind chill.
Nice job on the mods. Just bought a ‘19 black and I love it. I heard you mention that you had changed the stock mono shock . If I may ask , what brand and model did you install?
Can't see why people tend to make indicators and rear lights disappear.. they have a beauty on their own right in my view and actually i would do the opposite trying to enhance the beauty of them.
Fair comments! For me I like the clean minimal look at the back. This is what I love about the bike world. Everyone’s projects are so different and unique as it’s always down to personal preference. Every now and then I see something I wouldn’t dream of trying and really like it... exploring is key!
@@einspur6400 Don't get me wrong I think your bike is stunning however I'm just questioning where the boundary between modern and classic actually is...
@@einspur6400 hi, if I didn't get this wrong... you had an iron 883 and I'd like to know your opinion about that bike. I'm about 183 cm and in few weeks hopefully I will buy my first one, I'm in between 883 for the look and 1200 for the power
@@einspur6400 I want something very stable and maneuverable at the same time. And I don't want to bring anyone with me. That's why I like single-seat bikes
Just one more question.....l see your original black exhaust shield closest to the shifter, was that replaced........ l ask because here in the states the dealer said the exhaust shield next to the shifter is part of the package to complete the appearance.....but that shield only comes in brushed stainless, but your shield in the video is black that’s the look that l still prefer.....did you change your shield or was able to keep the original black shield.

The white girlie trainers detract from what is a very nice looking bike. Cool bobber - nice one 👍
Nerves rattling watching that kickstand creeping closer to the edge of that brick 😱
beautiful bike. I have a bobber myself. Only thing I'd change is probably your exhaust there's better out there. Ride safe.
BEAUTIFUL! Love the forward controls. much cooler.
Very nice looking bike! Would like to hear what she sounds like and see those lights in action. Maybe even some moto vlogs
Really like your setup. Should make a start up video and some of you on your normal rides.
First of all, SICK bike you got there!
nice nice nice. I just got one of these. had a royal enfield classic before this one. which is trash in my opinion. night and day with this one. I've added delkevic exhaust and deleted the cats as well. love your paint job and mods. looks classy.
Beatiful bike😍😍😍congrats and always safe rides✌🏽
Great job... love to have the leads on the forward control foot rests and the lighting front and rear

I test rode a bobber black a few days ago! Thinking of p/x my street triple for it.....
This thing looks wicked job well done
That looks an awesome piece of kit! Really nice looking Bobber! Would love to hear it and see it on the move!
Bad ass bike mate. About to buy my own Triumph Bobber out here in California stoked to get started taking it apart making it the way I want
Nice Dillon. It’s a fun bike to play around with!! Let me know how you get on. Insta @tayls_9 ✌️

@@einspur6400 it’s the best looking bobber I’ve seen and the front foot positioning and bars really make it. Paint work is awesome as well mind.

Love your forward control kit.
What is the brand of it?
Nice bike! :) Ive a 2018 Bobber black. It is fun to tinker with.
Bloody good job mate, all the best with your TH-cam channel. ✊
Cheers Billy 💪🏼
Loves it wanted to see rear light n indicator
WOW !! looks really good !!
Thanks 🙏🏼
Lovely bike! Wish you made us listen to the exhaust sound
Next time.. missed it out 🤦🏻♂️
Nice Vid great bike ....I have a 2017 Morello red....Where can I get that coat?
Great video, greater bike!!
Nice Bike 👍

Ye I did think that after I shoulda got some revs in 🤦🏻♂️

Hi mate. Thanks 🙏🏼 it’s made by new rage cycles.
How come U didn’t crank it up?
Beers and bikes! I love it! An absolute amazing Job!
Cheers glad you like it 👍🏼👍🏼
Great video, well done mate 👍 I’ve added 55 mm black fork covers to my front suspension. Looks really chunky now, but now struggling to work out something for the indicators. I like those bar end indicators, but I assume you can’t have those and mirrors at the same time...?
Thanks Adam. I don’t think you can I’m afraid. Fork covers sound awesome!
Quality vid for your first the bike looks the nuts enjoy
I love the bike but, comfortable it does not look! Such a stretch to the handle bars!
Depend on height Colin. It’s not to bad but it’s certainly more of a “brat” style riding position.
Did you install a fork seal? I’m a little apprehensive to take off the fork boots on my bobber but I love the look.
No I didn’t but I do use ecf 50 all over
Thornton Hundred Radiator Cover would look Good......it’s Great Looking Bike.....My Bobber isn’t Black.....👍🇬🇧🤓

What a beauty
Thanks Joe

Hey mate just found ur video on this beauty. Do you still have it?
Aye triumph gave me chrome forwards too, believe they’re off speed master . 🤔 way better than mids
Hi, would be able to provide the company that you bought you rear lights from. Looking to do a chop on my Bobber Black
A beautiful improvement on an already pretty bike. The decals, are they hand painted or transfers? They're gorgeous!
Thanks Andrew. Hand painted by the proline crew in Northampton

Hi Simar. Ye I do get some splash back off the rear weal but nothing crazy bad!
cheers, beautiful
Nice ride .. I ride her big sister the Speedmaster - just curious, how do you get away with no mirrors?
Not sure if mirrors are a must have. I think it’s how you interpret the laws.
Mirrors are not a requirement in the uk
Btw what kinda turn lights u got? Thx
Meant to ask about mirrors-don’t see any. What’s up with that?
Not using them atm....
