The Lisbon based bike brewers of Maria Riding Company had a customer with a very specific project: turn a Triumph Bonneville into a “military like scrambler style one-of-a-kind ride”. So when they start designing, they got inspired bij the 2nd World War, and especially on the well known Spitfire fighter plane. They took a 2005 Triumph Bonneville T100 and turned it into this urban ride:
Their modifications were thorough:
- New custom made seat
- Shortened back frame
- New tires from Continental TKC80
- New handlebar by LSL
- New small headlight
- New aluminum back mudguard
- New backlight
- New sprocket cover from LSL
- New aluminum Renthal sprocket
- New Exhaust system from Arrow
- Ignition relocation by LSL
- New turnlights and hand made aluminum supports
- New speedo and aluminum support plate
- New aluminum skid plate
- New grips from Posh
- New aluminum side plates custom made
- Paintjob: Original tank, rims, hubs, valve cover, carbs cover, mudguard, engine covers
They also tuned up the carbs to get some more power and throttle response.
