I had heaps of fun on this build, head over to the PBM build blog if you want a more in depth look at the work we did purposebuiltmoto.com/60s-triumph-bonneville-desert-sled/
Beautiful bike. Sounds lovely. I myself am not big on the white seat. Black with some old school shape, would be my vote. Take it out in the dirt, see how she does!
Yo PBM, Desert Sleds were born in the early 1950s. I was born 1955 as I was growing up & beginning to ride desert sleds went well into the 60s in early '70s. I began motocross racing on Japanese Motorsickles but sadly never owned a desert sled. Great Build! I'm getting used to the white seat 😂 ✌️👍
what a darling of a build mate its come up looking sweet well done its been a big year on the builds down here too done the trx a 60s ag bike a tt250 a yzf 250 and just converted a clunker into a trike for a laugh good times indeed goodonya guys cheers
Great job guys, only two things that it needs , a bash plate , to protect the lower part of the engine, and back brake caliper needs to be on top of the disc , not on the bottom, well done on the build,
Always great to hear our work is motivating guys to get in the garage and build something. Cheers to that! I think if I had this style bike I would go either a proper vintage bike (like our 1973 T140 Sled) or something more actually suited to dirt. After wrestling my HD Sportster around Tasmania for wide of the mark, I learnt dirt bikes are dirt bikes for a good reason haha
How do you go about Rego for this thing and how far does it learn on side stand without the bit of metal under it, also what's the speed rating on those tyres?
We go get a road worthy and rego it, simple. The lean is fine, we just use a block so it looks nicer in the video. If you want a speed rating go check out Pirelli
@@PurposeBuiltMoto ok so exhaust, indicators, no reflectors at all, wrong speed rated tyres, no chain guard just to name a few. So how the hell did it get a roadworthy?
@@PurposeBuiltMoto asking questions is not picking a fight! You build bikes and you expect people not to point out things, not only that but you expect people to not question it either!

Great job. I really need to get my Triumph going again.
Lovely looking bike, nice job… that blue is great, something different. Sounds fruity too…!
Yeah we searched a long time for that right colour. Justin from Popbang nailed the finish
Superb. Oozing style.
My favourite part is definitely the front end on this bike 😊
Top top build guys
Beautiful build, nothing says vintage like the white seat n grips

If you’re still breathing there’s still time to get a sled! Thanks for being open minded with our whacky seat choice! Haha

Incredible work, your builds keep me motivated to keep plugging on my project bikes. It baffles me that you say this isn’t your type of bike, what is?
