I remember this bobber I was there when you picked it up and wow what a transformation it was absolutely hanging but yeah smashed it out the park again dude 👏
Very nice job 👌🏼 My only criticism is the lines on the tank and side covers that are not parallel as can be seen in the outro…that would drive me a little nuts.
Nice transformation. Personally not the direction I'd have gone. What you started with was already fine in my book, a stock "Bobber" with some ware & tear on it and potential. Once running, I'd have finished the bobbing. Front fender, breaks, mirrors, indicators, horn, all that electronic garnishing on the handlebars (except clutch lever & a single throttle) gone. Replace the headlamp w/ old school chopper one. As for the rear, get rid of the fender & luggage rack (as you did) chain garde, indicators, mono shock (wield the hard tial on). Replace the number plate & tail light w/ a side mount Stop light combo. I don't know anything about modern engines or Triumphs, but agree with no muffler. Cheers from the States
I saw this one for sale for ages at Superbike factory…. Looked rough as hell. Well done bringing it back to life. You should have made a series out of it.👍
That is a restomod. It's crazy to see a Bobber so beat up; it's a relatively new model ... I rode my Gold Line yesterday! This is a banger video guys. Thank you!
Omg im french i dont understand your english accent 😂 but i follow you because all your projects are insane. Amazing color and lot of work on her. When my 4 children left my house in 20 years i buy one in your garage 😂 to live my Triumph dream. Continue like that with beautiful Monster!
Bike is awesome as always. If only i could suggest something is that the lines on the tank and the side fairing are not paralel to each other. Check 33:02 second in the video Maybe next time the painter could mark the lines when the pieces are on the bike, so he can paint them spot on. Other than that the look is pristine
Who is gaston? A new member to the TH team never seen them in a video before. Also great video, more like this as it's great seeing you work on non-new bobbers
🙋♂I know it is likely cost prohibitive, but is there a way purchase a Thornton Bobber in the US or shipped to US? Or are parts available to ship to US to transform a Bobber here?
yup we sell bobber in a box kits to the US Check it out on our website Thorntonhundredmotorcycles.co.uk. we are also heading to the US Nest year if you want jody to build it him self!
Have you thought about branching into other bikes other than the Bobber ie maybe Indian Scout Bobber or other types of Triumph? The Indian bobber is one hell of a sexy bike; I think it looks better than the Triumph equivalent in standard form. With your touch it would be irresistible 🤤❤️✌🏻 BTW bike looks gorgeous..
You lucky dog. I’m trying to finish fixing a 1973 Bonneville that was turned into a chopper peace of crap! Ape hangers, 10 over, bent front forks! King and queen seat! Harley rear fender! You guys have it too easy.
Usually love your builds but not using the original engine . Even with water in it had me a bit bummed, not sure Id call it a rebuild more like a reswap.
It was funny I looked at that on your website and thought perfect beginner bike for me then I see the origin of the bike… you should rebuild and hot rod the motor you pulled out, I don’t know if that is out of your scope of expertise or not but it would be fun to see how they could be made nastier
@@ThorntonHundredMotorcycles just a tip, I hate removing a broken tap. Also make sure to use enough cutting fluid. We are all still learning in life. That's what makes you better everyday.☺️
Great job guys well done...I love the engine colour but the colour scheme on the tank just docent do It for me . I would slap pound notes on the table for that bike right now but that tank colour = deal breaker . with 22k on the bike I would call It a restoration .
Nope, mine's worse... blame the Welsh weather and my landlord for taking 10 years to put a roof on my garage! Got it for £850 so it was pretty f**ked already by the previous owner who was a w**ker who thrashed it with no coolant, brake pads or even oil on the chain! I was hoping to turn it into a lovely cafe racer, got the mini fairing, end grip mirrors, humpback seat, drag bars, slash cut mufflers etc.. then after I'd cleaned it up on the first test ride... it blew the centre cylinder! Manifolds were so super heated in the past due to a hole in the bottom of the coolant tank, that all the exhaust studs just snapped off...
I would describe it as a transformation not a restoration but above all it’s very nice 👌
Thanks for the Input, glad you like it! 🙏
Wish I could afford one of these bikes. Always so well done.
Bro, restored or not, this is for sure one of the prettiest bikes yall boys have made. Mad love for this mucky build!
You said it 😮💨👑
Looks sick, I would love to see some bonnevilles and scramblers on the channel.
Sending love from Sydney, Australia, Love your bikes and hope to own one over here one day. Absolute masterpieces.
The Engine Color looks really Slick. Excellent Build
Thanks!
love the new style of the bike and the colour of the engine. looks absolutely adorable - great job. greetings from vienna.
Perfection, got that spot on , looks incredible.
Bellissimo video Bellissima ristrutturazione gli hai ridato vita, un grande professionista 💪💪
I’d just call it fabulous Jodie, great transformation in record time, congrats
I love your bikes bro. Much love from South Africa
💪🇿🇦
ooof - that colour choice looks so mint.
i'd love to see it in a dark forest metallic green as well, but I am a sucker for bronzes.
keep your eyes peeled. 👀
This is the best bike channel on TH-cam.
you know it ;)

Great resto, love what you are doing. I think you should do a "give away" comp with this bike! 😉👌👏

WHEN YOU TAKE THE NAME OFF OF THE TANK IT DONT EVEN LOOK LIKE A TRIUMPH

Nice restoration! 17:45 Dont keep it yourself, make it a x-mas give away bike!

Beautiful work! Nice job!
Thank you very much!
That is a restomod. It's crazy to see a Bobber so beat up; it's a relatively new model ... I rode my Gold Line yesterday! This is a banger video guys. Thank you!
we couldn't believe it! glad you enjoyed it and thank you for the support!
Great to see you still got it. Lol for anyone who has used a thread tap saw that coming
Absolutely, no backout.....
Who the hell let’s their bike get that fecco’d
The bush
I hope it was a lack of interest and not a loss of ability.
Watching this man do my dream job I can’t lie
Man that thing sounds like a beast.
So, you'll just replace most of the parts? Seems pretty straight forward, to be honest.
That thing looks unreal. The engine colour was a genius choice. These bikes seem like an absolute riot to ride!
Love the Support, they are awesome to ride!

very beautiful bike I will say that much. I appreciate a bike getting a second chance and cared for. I do wish it had the original engine in it.
Goals for the short term. I would love a bike like this but I love the twisted exhaust
You can have this one with a twisted! Get in touch ;) thorntonhundredmotorcycles.co.uk
Mega, we’ll done, smashed it again 🙌
Cheers for the support!
Excellent work
Thank you! Cheers!
Love the colour scheme, maybe bronze bars or fluid reservoirs would work too.
Bike is awesome as always.

im 24 years old and never driven a bike but man i would love to start on a thornton hundred
Restomod , brilliant !!
That engine colour is beautiful ❤️👍
It really is!
Just watched all video , great rebuild, and your a double for Jack grealish ,
I believe the word is....restomod. whatever it's sick. 👌🏼
Love the paint👏👏
Love your paint choices
Yes. Nicest,
NEW 2018 out there 😂🤣👍✌️ AWSOME bikes BTW !!! Dream bike for me for sure👍👍👍✌️
Looks fantastic might be buying new bobber soon 👍👍
do it! You know where to find us! ;)
This was a fun episode!
Love the bronze colour, plus I ride Norco sight 😍
Killer Combo! 😮💨
Love the videos!!
Thank you!!
I love your long videos ,I also love the bike and the colour l would put white wall tyres on it but that’s just me.
Love it mate ye saved its life !!
Cool bike bro
Thanks ✌
Gr8 work❤❤
That looks amazing pal
Cheers!
Good job 👍🏻
Thanks 😁
So good.
Gotta say I preferred the look of the MK1 front tyre slim and sleek
Who is gaston? A new member to the TH team never seen them in a video before. Also great video, more like this as it's great seeing you work on non-new bobbers
Good job
Thanks
Bad ass bike
big time! 😮💨
You've got to get more satisfaction in rebuilding that than just bolting bits on new or clean bikes
Should make an old school style bobber with maybe even a hard tail but seat position almost by the back wheel with maybe even pull back bars

Fantastic
Beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
Would love to see what you guys have done inside the engine. Was it bad inside?
Full restoration with all brand new bits 🤣
God i wish i could get one of those
Restomod!
Grave to cradle, 2 B loved.❤
What size are the tyres back now front?
Nice job indeed. Just wondering how ,when its MOT time cos it an 18 plate ,you explain the non matching engine number on the log book?
Have you thought about branching into other bikes other than the Bobber ie maybe Indian Scout Bobber or other types of Triumph?
The Indian bobber is one hell of a sexy bike; I think it looks better than the Triumph equivalent in standard form.
With your touch it would be irresistible 🤤❤️✌🏻
BTW bike looks gorgeous..
It should be give away to your subscribers 👍😎🤞
I like it, I’d call it regurgitated 😂
That’s pretty sic
Restomod 👌
You lucky dog. I’m trying to finish fixing a 1973 Bonneville that was turned into a chopper peace of crap! Ape hangers, 10 over, bent front forks! King and queen seat! Harley rear fender! You guys have it too easy.
you guys have done an excellent job nice transformation and didn't the clock say 21 thousand miles?
21,950 🤯
@@ThorntonHundredMotorcycles ok are you rounding up?
Just mental.
brown leather grips would be the finishing touch
😍
Usually love your builds but not using the original engine . Even with water in it had me a bit bummed, not sure Id call it a rebuild more like a reswap.
Absolute cop out you should've rebuilt the engine instead of just replacing it ppppffftt

Funnily enough this was one of the original plans hahah 👀
How do you get those exhaust pipes through mot without muflers?
I would love to have one of your bikes. Unfortunately I live in the US and I'm poor !
It would make a great giveaway bike!
Triumph Scabber 👌🏻
Should have went with the white/off white frame. Black is far too played out, break the mould haha. That’s just my opinion
Nice bike. 3K is cheap for a bike but quite expensive for a frame and a loom 😊
16:18 i could see that coming from a mile away. When a tap is hard to turn, back it off.
Sorry we’re still learning 🌚
@@ThorntonHundredMotorcycles just a tip, I hate removing a broken tap. Also make sure to use enough cutting fluid.
We are all still learning in life. That's what makes you better everyday.☺️
Parked in a bush!?!
Looks like it was parked in the sea.
Engine colour pops in the sun.
What's the brand of you black cap/ camo jacket?
Thrudark, we built them a bike a few weeks back 👀 you should check it out!
@@ThorntonHundredMotorcycles Just found the vid. 😍👍👍
Nice job guys, can you do a bobber from rocket 3r
Great job guys well done...I love the engine colour but the colour scheme on the tank just docent do It for me . I would slap pound notes on the table for that bike right now but that tank colour = deal breaker . with 22k on the bike I would call It a restoration .
for god's sake, that looks newer than any bike i'd buy.
farout if you think that's bad you'd cry if you saw my 26yr old Honda cb600f with 90k on the speedo
Sehr gut…👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
sick
You can’t just restore a bike your Thornton Hundred. A restoration is 100% original this was a rebuild.
Restorbished

Glad you like it! 🙌
