Okay so I’ve been posting links and photos of Hinckley Triumph Standard Bonnevilles that have been converted to rigid rear suspension using either the LC Fabrications weld-on hard tail section or the forthcoming British Customs bolt-on hard tail. And we’ve seen full-custom hard tail Americas and Speedmasters with one-off frames. This is the first time I’ve seen a hard tail America or Speedmaster where virtually nothing forward of the seat has been modified. A guy named Jukka from Finland posted a link to just such a beast today over on BonnevilleAmerica.com:

I think it looks badass (at least from the rear), even with the stock paint. It’s a 2004 Speedmaster featuring a 240 rear tire (the largest you can go on a stock bike is 200 which requires a change in the rim size as the stock rim is too narrow). I love it but that stock alloy front wheel needs to go. And why the hell did he pull the slim and trim Speedmaster front fender in favor of a larger America version? ::sigh::

I’ve added several shots to my Cool Bikes Gallery. The original photos are here. Bike is for sale, apparently, for 16,900 Euros or about $21,700 USD. Uh, yeah, I’ll pass. I could have it recreated stateside for less than half of that much.
