Custom Triumph Thunderbird

If ever there was a Triumph that just begs to be customized to the individual owner, it is the Thunderbird. It seems Triumph realizes this, as well, because the model came charging out of the gates with a huge variety of OEM chrome and farkles.

This blue and white beauty has a lot of these goodies added. Above you can see the short silencer, and dual seat.

This photo shows the back of the quick-release Summer windscreen, as well as a heaping helping of front end sparklies. This bike has a chrome upper and lower yokes,  and a chrome fork slider kit.

Above you can see another angle of the chrome forks, and the light bar with OEM lights and a PIAA cross country H.I.D. kit.

The short silencer exposes more of the rear wheel, so a chrome rear pulley kit has been added, as has a chrome wheel kit (which includes front and back wheels.)

Snowbound Daydream

So you are probably stuck in cage, just like us, but here is a little something to dream on.

A couple classic Guzzis, some twisties, and some Tom Waits.

The good life.

Custom Bonneville

Here is one of the most handsome Bonnevilles to roll out of Branchville.

This bikes owner has put a lot of custom touches on this bike in the two years he has owned it. Recently he had some white stripes added to the fenders to match the paint work he had done on the tank when he originally bought the bike.

Custom Triumph Sprint ST

Have you ever wondered why the Sprint ST doesn't have the latest inverted forks and radial brakes? Well we did too.


And we did something about it.



Recently, one of our more imaginative customers has been working with Jim to turn his 2009 Sprint ST into a real one-of-kind bike.



We used an Ohlins shock in the rear to balance out the chassis, a radial master cylinder, and aggressive brakepads to finish it off. The result is a faster steering, harder braking, and better handling Sprint ST.


And it looks better too!

Hello and Welcome!

Welcome, to the new Branchville Motors and Vespa Ridgefield Blog.

I thought as an introduction to us, I would post some pictures of this sweet custom Triumph Thruxton which we built over last winter. The base was a 2009 EFI Thruxton, and it has about every upgrade you can think of, and a few you probably wouldn't have thought possible.

Yeah, that Arrow Exhaust and Ohlin's Suspension look awesome, and perform even better. But what is going on with the front end?

Well if you look closely, and are really familiar with modern Brit bikes, you might realize that the front end on this beastie is actually transplanted from a Triumph Tiger. That's right, inverted forks and upgraded brakes.

You might have guessed that this kind of customization wasn't cheap, and you'd be correct, and well you'd also be wrong... The original owner has moved on to other projects, and is having us sell off this work of art. The bike has around 1300 miles on it, and is going for $13,000. If you are interested, come by and talk to us.

Heck, you can stop by just to drool a little bit, if you care too.
