This is my 1966 Triumph T120 Bonneville with a 1971 TR6C engine. This is a custom build that I did back in '99. Since the engine was not the original & I really like the older bikes from the teens through the 40's or '50s the most, I went ahead and custom built this one from the ground up, just the way I wanted it. Very little chrome & nothin' fancy.

Very nice, just right! You'd need that sprung saddle tho!
I've got a stock burgundy/cream 140V plus other Brits and My Brother-in-law a beautiful Triton he built himself. Ride Safe!
Thanks Hems303!
Definitely need the springs on the roads here in PA.
Pretty comfortable & smooth riding for a rigid though.
Thanks for the comment!
Like this bike? That is a serious understatement! I have a 66 Bonneville (or rather have a frame, two wheels, engine, tranny and a few boxes misc totally what I believe is a complete bike) and sir I'm afraid I may have to borrow heavily from your build! This is one of the most gorgeous semi-custom builds I've ever seen. Serious kudos to you!
Love it!
Thank you very much LikeTheBikes!
I really had just as much fun building it, as riding it. There's more than a few hand-made parts on it. You are of course more than welcome to borrow anything you like.
Hope you have just as much fun with yours & Thanks again!
Nick you did a really top job, fell in love with as soon as I seen the picture. It should have a nice thump under you enough to let you know your on a BIKE.
Thanks Zowie!
That's a very good way to describe the ride, you definitely feel the road but it's really a lot smoother than you what would think it would be for a rigid. And yes, the big bumps do get your attention right quick though.
Thanks for the comment!
