Down & Out Bikes of Yorkshire, famend for his or her bespoke Triumphs, have tastefully custom-made this Bobber Black. Established craftsmen, renowned for their bespoke creations commissioned by prominent clients such as Barbour Worldwide, actor Tom Hardy, adventurer Charlie Boorman, and iconic motorcycle manufacturer Triumph, have earned a reputation as respected custom bike builders in the UK.
The bike options a number of signature Down & Out elements, together with hand-rolled {custom} aluminum mudguards, {custom} adjustable entrance forks with distinctive extra-wide billet yokes, a bespoke aftermarket exhaust system, a hand-crafted aluminum headlight cap, an LSL machined brake fluid reservoir, a custom-made seat pad, Nissin brakes, LSL handlebars, a Motogadget speedometer, and aftermarket anodized gold engine elements.
The vehicle proudly showcases its unique custom finish, featuring a stunning blend of rich purple, plum, and 24-karat gold hues, crafted by renowned artist Arnie of Professional Kustoms. The tank showcases a refined gold metal-flake ‘Down & Out’ design, with ‘Triumph’ on either side. The bespoke bicycle features a striking black artificial suede-trimmed seat pad, distinguished by intricate purple and gold stitching, which beautifully contrasts the rich tones of the surrounding materials. Delicate brass air flow holes further elevate the design, subtly revealing a pop of purple artificial suede beneath. With its custom 17-inch wire wheels boasting polished spokes set against matte-black frames, the ride is shod in Continental TKC 70 tyres for a perfect blend of style and traction.
The motorcycle features a KYB rear monoshock suspension component, along with a range of electronic systems that include switchable traction control, anti-lock braking, two ride mode settings, and cruise control, all controlled via internal wiring and miniature electrical switches. The addition of Kellerman indicators and 3-in-1 lights has maintained the bike’s crisp visual lines, complemented by a Kellerman number plate light at the rear. The bike is propelled by a 1,200cc four-stroke liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine featuring eight valves, which generates 76 horsepower and is mated to a six-speed gearbox.
The Triumph Bobber was unveiled at the British Motor Museum in early 2023 as part of the “Triumph: History in the Making” exhibition. Moreover, it was displayed alongside its celebrated ‘Maintain On Go Quick’ sister bike by Down & Out on the Triumph Manufacturing facility Customer Expertise.
