Me and my father in law spent the summer making one hell of a custom Bonny. There isn't much we haven't touched or modified on this bike.
Original running and driving 1959 Bonneville we picked up for 500$. The steal of a lifetime.
Most of the mounts and non 1959 parts we fabbed ourselves
The seat and mounting brackets are from a 2016 Bonneville.
One of the biggest mods we did was converting it to a dirt bike style swing arm with a singular Ducati shock. We had countless hours designing and machining it. Rides super smooth and looks insane. All the triumph guys we know have never seen anything like it.
Did I mention we powder coated every damn thing we could. The bronze powder next to the brown metallic frame looks insane in the sun
Polish everything!!!
The shock mounting system, seat brackets, headlight and speedo mounts are all hand fabbed here at our garage
Originally a 650cc engine, but it wasn't enough. Full race build engine now at 750cc with 11/1 compression and every hop up available. Makes a harley sound like a Prius.
I can't even explain how much I love this machine that we created. Countless hours and about 10, 000$ were invested into this bike. I'm gonna be sad to see it go. Wish I had more pics of the build to share but it's tough to get pics with greasy or paint covered hands. I hope yall enjoy the pics.
TL DR
Made a bike look cool and things
PM me about your bikes or cars

Knowing very little about mechanics in general, i can see that a lot of work went into this to make it lovely. Really nice color choices too

I would ride that everywhere.

I mean it's a nice bike, but why get an antique bike if you pretty much replace everything? So you can label it as a 59 Triumph?
METHematics
I know what you mean but what fun is keeping something original ya know lol
METHematics
There are still a lot of old components on there. Either way it's a 59 and all the original 59 parts are still capable of going back on.

Forgive the dumb question, but how solid are the seats on these things? Always looked like one good bump'll have your balls in a drive chain
METHematics
I know what you mean but there is no worry. It's solid. I'm more afraid of falling off the back lol

Hey good lookin'

When you finish you should make a note: “huge success”. It’ll be hard to overstate your satisfaction
mmmSteakandEggs
Video of it running pleeeeease! ????
METHematics
I will try to get one soon. It's cold out now so I'll need a snow suit

Nice work OP! Is that a Dodge Charger in the back?
METHematics
Yeah a 72 that we are building for auction as well. It's a fixer upper that's for sure.
AlIYourBaseAreBelongToUs
Cool. Hope you make something nice of it. Greetings from across the pond.

That's Awesome! You got to build a motorcycle, and build a relationship with your father-in-law at the same time.

Triumph, BSA, Norton...all good bikes but if you rode them foe a couple hours you couldn't feel your fingers.
METHematics
Vibrates like a MOFO. No rubber mounting on that engine at all. Hahah
sirplayerone
That thing is sexy as fuck. A true craftsman.
METHematics
Thank you sir. I appreciate all props

Upvoting because of Triumph. And craftmanship. And 'Makes a harley sound like a Prius.'
METHematics
Totally does btw lol. I'll try to get a video of it running next time we fire it up. RIP ear bud users

Bikes like this never leak, they just mark their territory.

Sorry to hear it is so loud. I love bikes and a good sound but i cannot stand straight pipes. Next time invest in a good muffler.
METHematics
And those pipes were anything but cheap, triumph parts are expensive lol
METHematics
I mean it's not ridiculous. It's loud, probably the loudest I've heard. It's got a Nasty roar, and good tone. Not headache worthy though.
istealthepixelsfromreposts
And i mean fuck other people enjoying their day right?
METHematics
Damn right.
usersubnsfwaddict
I know nothing about motorcycles, but I can recognize amazing craftsmanship. Good fucking job!
METHematics
Thank you so fucking much.

Bro. That custom is frikkin amazing. Was it a commission or just off the top for resale? If you werent on the map before...you are now!
METHematics
And thank you. We take pride in our work.
METHematics
Me and him did it just to do it. We are both car builders so it's what we do. We are hoping to resell soon bc we have so much invested.
majorminers
I can see that. Your style and capability is evident. Wish I had the cash to come get it to be honest. I love it.
METHematics
I wish I had the cash to keep it hahah

I don't care much for light blue but damn that is one pretty bike nonetheless. Good on ya, mate!
TheRicM
We had a huge tractor tire in my backyard growing up, it was painted that hue of blue, so I really like the way the bike looks lol
METHematics
We are both still on the edge about the blue. It's different for sure but it's not what we are looking for. The blue has a bronze candy also
BaronVonZorcula
Black will make you more money.
DoktorLurker
Maybe a darker shade like Cobalt?
METHematics
We were throwing around the idea of 2 toning it with a cream white or beige actually.
DoktorLurker
A champagne white would go well with that shade. IMO a beige would take it down too far but I can't say until I see it.
