1- you need a rear fender, your license plate was working as one before you relocated it. Unless you don’t mind ruining all of your clothes. 2- by running the new pipes under the frame you lost ground clearance. 3- you should consider adding a skid plate, because the oil filter sits outside of the frame carriage. I like that you upgraded the entire wheel. That was a smart move.
Thanks for the feedback. The bike is a work in progress so I still might add the rear fender. Would have put Scrambler pipes on it but the angle out of the engine doesn’t work on this model
a cafe racer isnt called that because you can stop for coffee and look cool. In the UK, people use to race motorbikes from cafe to cafe, and they eventually started making their bikes as fast as possible, by removing unnessecary parts. THAT is why they are called cafe racers
I would’ve just bought a different exhaust, going off road if you somehow how over a huge rock, you could ruin your exhaust. BUT! The bike is beautiful!
A couple of days ago, I ordered the same chain and sprockets from New Bonneville, but they no longer ship to Hawaii. So I ordered very similar parts from Canyon. Thanks Canyon!!!
Instead of listening to your music, I prefer listening to the music of the motor. perhaps, let us hear the "before" sound of the exhaust; then the "after" sound of the exhaust. The sound of the motorcycle is one of the reasons I have been riding for almost 60 years.
You put new shocks on to get more clearance then put pipes that run under the bike that greatly lessen the clearance?It's like wearing a high vis shirt and camo pants.The bike looks good though.
I’m getting a Bonneville that’s like yours before you modified it, I will be putting a brown seat on it and tires with black rims , makes it look so much sexier
Loved this!! Looking forward to seeing more Motorcycle adventures from you guys! The Bonneville is such a fantastic base, it's the most versatile model Triumph makes it goes from a beautiful show bike, street bike to a fantastic base for long distance travel. (I love my Tiger and would never get rid of him, but I will admit I've dreamed of owning a Bonnie. I work at Latus Triumph in Portland OR so I get to see them everyday. Hit us up if you're ever in the PNW! )
VAGA BROTHERS, I just bought a new T120 Black and am shopping for fender eliminators. With your eliminator solution, how much dirt/water/grime spray to you get that finds its way over the plate?
Enfields look great but I’ve heard they have relatively less power. The Bonneville is a really accessible bike but also has a ton of horsepower. Triumph would be my pick any day
vagabrothers right on! I was completely enamored with the bonneville ever since I saw Brad Pitt ride a similar cafe racer in ‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’... I’ll most likely pick one up in the near future... appreciate the info guys!
If you do, make sure you keep he exhaust above the frame rails incase it bottoms out. Also, unless you want spray from rain/mud, keep the rear fender on and just buy the British Customs Retro Tail Light, and get four MotoGadget M.Blaze Pin indicators to remove the ugly indicators, and get an x-pipe but not new silencers incase you drop it... you'll ruin $700+ cans.
Awesome motorcycle but in my opinion you should have put the exhaust somewhere a lil higher for a better ground clearance to get that proper scrambler look
That was the plan but the scrambler pipes don’t fit on this bike because of the angle they come out of the engine. Otherwise that’s 100% what I would have done. Given that I couldn’t mount the pipes up high, I decided to go with the lowest profile setup- the slash cut
I'm fixing to get my Licence in the spring this year. I like the idea of a Sport/Touring bike; has the sports look, but sit & ride like a touring bike. Think like... the BMW FJ800. As nice as BMW is, they are way over my budget. Suggestions?
No idea what an BMW FJ is, but why not go for a used F650GS, around 2006 model year? Obviously no sports look but it has got an indestructable 650cc single cilinder engine (Rotax engine), doesn't break your bank account if you drop it, easy enough to work on yourself, allows for some on- and offroad and is not too intimidating as a first bike. Shouldn't be too expensive; look for the ABS models. They even got heated grips and often come with panniers/boxes. And....it's a BMW.
@@MrSjeupie Wow! Thank you for the info! I'll have to look for one. I've gotten my licence now and I was thinking of getting a Yamaha Bolt, But you've given me something else to look for. Thank you!
@@YoFreshWiggy No worries mate, good to hear you've got your license now :-) Just go out and try different bikes; they're all fun in their own way. Go for the bike that makes you smile in your helmet, is not too shiny so it doesn't break your heart (and bank account) when you inevitably drop it or scratch it at some point, and is a bit forgiving when you make a mistake; everybody does but certain bikes will simply punish you harder than others. Oh, and a final piece of advice that I received when I got my license and like to pass on to you: ride as fast as you like on a motorcycle. Just never hurry on a motorcycle. Stay safe and enjoy the ride!
Any interest in sportbikes and maybe a track day or race? If you guys are into high adrenaline sports/activities I'd say it's definitely a bucketlist item!
Does the tail light have built in turn signals, couldn't see them anywhere else looks sick pretty keen to get the same look, but in New Zealand we have to have rear turn signals..Cheers guys great content very inspiring..
beautiful build..love British customs..missed building out my Bonneville..now have aTiger...would have loved to hear your bike Sing....any videos of that.
British customs stuff is nice ,I've seen a front fork cartridge kit by Biturbo that might make a great video idea for you i Own an 06 and the suspension ous the week link!! And how do the new shocks work?
Sweet bike! What's the name? A bike like that deserves a name. I'm currently having a blast on my '08 Triumph Daytona 675 (Artoria Pendragon). You should take a ride up the coast. Plan on checking out the redwoods and riding Hwy 36. Look me up and we can ride together. Good year and good times.
It looks good dude enjoy it. I've been looking at the new scrambler 1200 XE myself. But I just built an oldschool KZ750 caferacer so that'll have to wait. Lol
If you guys ever get the chance we have some great roads over here in NZ for bikes. I recently went down to the south island for the first time - unfortunately only in a car - but there were some really nice roads that I want to go back down and try on the bike

Use his garage? He did all the work!
Come on , he did carry the wheel .
I was gonna say the same thing. They have a super popular motorcycle channel and clearly don't know anything other than how to ride them.
That old chain probably did have a master link. If it was the stock chain it may not have had on but I bet there was one on there
Hey he held a part or two.. influencers.. sheesh

My husband enjoyed this vlog. He used to work for Triumph Motorcycles in England.
Cool !!

Exchaust pipes underneath the frame and engine?! Hows that riding of road?
because hes a poser
Squid Sim really wise ass jealous 😂😂😂
Well let's be honest he's not gonna gob truly off road just a few dirtb roads and chose that style. Im sure he sticks to Hwy most of the time
calling the grinder a saw cheered me up!
🤷🏼♂️
I would’ve just bought a different exhaust, going off road if you somehow how over a huge rock, you could ruin your exhaust. BUT! The bike is beautiful!
It's an Instagram bike he doesn't care
Oh my god 😍 that’s my dream motorcycle !!
I know, right!
Off topic, but what jacket is that? The brown leather color is exactly what I'm looking for, it's awesome.
I had the same question
A couple of days ago, I ordered the same chain and sprockets from New Bonneville, but they no longer ship to Hawaii. So I ordered very similar parts from Canyon. Thanks Canyon!!!
Where’s that jacket from?

It's the Daryl Dixon bike. All you need is a crossbow mount.
You put new shocks on to get more clearance then put pipes that run under the bike that greatly lessen the clearance?It's like wearing a high vis shirt and camo pants.The bike looks good though.
Soooo...all that and you didn't even fire it up for us?! Over 1M subs and that's the best you can do?

Your bike looks sick Marko! Love it! 🏍 😍
Hello. Great bike! I just got a 07 Bonneville and I was wondering what you had to do to the carbs when adding these pipes? Thanks
Thanks for the video. What jacket is that, if I may ask?
Did you raise the front at all or just the back? How does that affect the ride?
I think this new Scrambler style looks even better!
Sounds so good!
Bike looks tough! Nice build.
If you do want to take it offroad, put the rear fender back on so you don't get mud/dirt/etc flinging up onto your back.
Phenomenal video! Loved every second!
I like the jacket,where can I order one online. THANKS
What were the suspension upgrades?
Guuuauuu looks amazing , ready for mountains ride!!
british customs has excellent customer service
This thing is a beast!! looks awesome
*BEAUTIFUL*
Wow didn’t know I liked bikes till I saw this one!
Yeaaaa
that's badass! how does the bonneville compare to the royal enfields?
Enfields look great but I’ve heard they have relatively less power. The Bonneville is a really accessible bike but also has a ton of horsepower. Triumph would be my pick any day
vagabrothers right on! I was completely enamored with the bonneville ever since I saw Brad Pitt ride a similar cafe racer in ‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’... I’ll most likely pick one up in the near future... appreciate the info guys!
Forrest Lee I have both and love them . The Triumph is so much faster, the Enfield is like a slow tractor next to my bonneville
jimmy Lincoln Now I’m fully 100 percent picking up the Bonneville over the Enfield, thanks for the feedback!
They are different bikes, RE are one cylinder, much cheaper bikes and they look like a 50’s classic
Awesome, thanks for walking us through your BC mods in detail - Likes; Scrambler style, knobbies, pipes, Dogtown t and best of all John, dudes a G!!
I’m not even into bikes , but this bike is BEAUTIFUL! 👀
😏
Pipes look like a kid built them. John did all the work
Whic company or brand leather jacket do you wear
That’s it I’m buying one
🙌🏼

vagabrothers I love the look of the Slash TTs. How loud are they really? Obnoxious?
4:33 dogtown for the win! beautiful bike bud. Inspiring!
What Boots and Jacket are those?
Super cool bike Hope you enjoy it!
Most beautiful bonneville I have ever seen.
Great build but longer shocks on the back will push the front down so did you do anything to the front forks/springs to heighten it?
Happy New year bro.
What brand is the racer jacket?

Love it. Thinking of doing something like this with my 2005 bonnie
This is not just a bike. This is a piece of art.
That's first for me, I didn't know what caferacer means until I watched this video. Super cool bike! Big Thumb's up for you!
And after watched this video you still don’t know what a cafe racer means!!!
Sorry mate, but that exhaust - for going off-road? Good luck!
Where can I get a set of those pipes for my T-100 carb ? I looked on BC but did not see them.
Marco is back being cute😀
beautiful build..love British customs..missed building out my Bonneville..now have aTiger...would have loved to hear your bike Sing....any videos of that.
Omg Marco that bike is Fawesome Broski!
Hey Marko. Although I am not into bikes, I am still watching it. I just love you explaining things.😂😂😂
Have a great week.
Happy New year 😊😊
John is the man super cool take care of him I’d say lifetime supply of brews btw sweet ride
a great start to this year, it look amazing! i loved it
didn't know yall are badass too
You gotta post more videos of the bike!!! maybe make a small series where you and your brother show the bikes, ride them, etc.
What leather jacket it is?
What a wonderful bike !!!! Wowwwww so nice video !!!!
British customs stuff is nice ,I've seen a front fork cartridge kit by Biturbo that might make a great video idea for you i Own an 06 and the suspension ous the week link!! And how do the new shocks work?
Now that SOUNDS like a Triumph!
Awesome vlog! Where did you get that awesome brown leather jacket?
it’s from Roland Sands!
😻 perfect! Greetings from 🇨🇷
Have the same seat in grey. love it.
Awesome bike! Can't wait to see more adventure videos with your bikes guys. Safe riding.
I like the production of your videos. Good to see you taking the time to make it look good!
Did the exhaust require a new Mapping?
what mirrors and mirror mounts did you use?
Those seats comfy after a long ride? I've what's wondered
SaahhhWeeet Bike!!! Hey, I am in San Pedro. Come on down sometime.
Great video! It needs a splash guard though, highly highly recommend that to anyone going softroading on a moto.
Those Seats are awesome! Are those seats just as easy as taking them off and just put them in?
whitch exhaust is on the bike? thank you
Dude, that thing is sweet!
Are there any triumph motorcycle clubs in LA? I’m about to buy a bike and would like to join a group to gain more info and go on rides.
Love the bike ...love them panniers ..... Fred
Sweet bike! What's the name? A bike like that deserves a name. I'm currently having a blast on my '08 Triumph Daytona 675 (Artoria Pendragon). You should take a ride up the coast. Plan on checking out the redwoods and riding Hwy 36. Look me up and we can ride together. Good year and good times.
It looks good dude enjoy it. I've been looking at the new scrambler 1200 XE myself. But I just built an oldschool KZ750 caferacer so that'll have to wait. Lol
What map did you put on this bike with those drag pipes on ?
If you guys ever get the chance we have some great roads over here in NZ for bikes. I recently went down to the south island for the first time - unfortunately only in a car - but there were some really nice roads that I want to go back down and try on the bike
Ah man didn’t even here it with the new pipes!!!!
Excellent real cool bike. 👍🏼
Nice bike, I'd have used a torque wrench on the sprocket and disc though
Stay safe!
this guy is such a neil
BONJOUR, where do yo buy our bags ? Thank you
wow really incredible video. i love it superb. have a lovely week. thumbs up!
You too!
Not exactly a video I would expect on this channel, but was not disappointed. Do moarrr bike videos, pls.
Great vid! Would love to see more motorcycle travel stuff!
Good video mate...Looks to me like you need the new Triumph scrambler 1200 .
Does anyone know what model of Bonneville that is? Like a T120 or T100?
T100
Nice bike, I love it
