These pics come from Ralph in London and show his 2003 Bonneville Streetracker built by Mule motorcycles in San Diego. The bike is equipped with a 904cc engine, 595 forks and a handmade alloy fuel tank holding just seven litres of fuel. It also has 19-inch dirt track wheels and recently won the Triumph of the Year at the Ace Cafe.

Check out the Mule Motorcycles website for more information on Richard Pollock’s bikes and some lovely photos, too. Thanks for the pics, Ralph!

Triumph Bonneville Streetracker

This lovely understated tuning on the Triumph Bonneville gives it a little more character, and a whole lotta new sound (see the video after the jump). The handlebars are lowered, the front mudguard has been removed and the rear mudguard has been designed and built by hand, with a dedicated taillight.

Other features are the Thruxton seat and “Blunt” exhaust terminals made by Bruce Sinclair, who is the owner of this Triumph Bonneville. The only further modification has been the use of Matt Black paint, rather than shiny black.

The reason for the change in exhaust is that, according to Sinclair, the Bonnevilles of today don’t sound like the real Bonnevilles of the past. He designed smaller exhaust outlets, built with pieces of originals, to give more of a 60’s sound. He has certainly managed that! Check out the video below.
