BLACK & TAN. Triumph Bonneville by Analog Motorcycles
Some things just go together: Cheech & Chong, cigars & whisky and, of course, black & tan. A few years ago the guys at Analog motorcycles built a beautiful black & tan CB750 that got the attention of a customer called Tony who really loved the build. Tony liked it so much he approached Analog to build him a black & tan custom. ?Tony wanted the same design as that bike, but something he could take on a fire road every once in a while, and more modern,? says Analog. ?We discussed options for donor bikes and landed on the modern classic Triumph lineup.? After a little bit of searching, Tony came across a great deal on a leftover brand new (last of the air-cooled) 2017 Triumph Scrambler.
Tony broke the bike in for a while, putting a few hundred miles on the bike before he dropped it off at the Analog shop. ?We partially stripped it down and started cutting and fabricating. We cut off the extra-long subframe and welded on a loop. We made probably one of the most complex seat pans we have made to date. All aluminum, and hides all the stock electronics that come with modern bikes these days, but still maintaining some comfort. Tony is 6? 4?, so a little extra inseam allowed for extra padding too.?
The stock suspensions on these Triumphs are not amazing, so Analog rebuilt the forks using Race Tech springs and Gold Valve Emulators. ?Then we called up EPM and had some YSS rear shocks custom made for rider specs and added a little extra height in the rear.?
