Custom Bikes Of The Week: 28 May, 2017
This week, we’ve got a stunning repli-racer from Estonia, a vintage scrambler from Argentina, a Burt Munro tribute from the US, and a ‘Fusqvarna’ from France. Enjoy.
Triumph T140 scrambler by Herencia Custom Garage Argentina?s Herencia Custom Garage was catapulted to local fame via a custom build-off show on Latin America?s Discovery Channel. The shop now offers everything from a clothing line to organized rides and a dedicated media department, but it?s their growing catalog of work that keeps them on our radar.
This latest creation is a 1979 Triumph T140 that?s been tastefully scrambled. Builders German Karp and Federico Cubik were given free reign by their client?but instead of going wild, the duo kept the look simple and clean and focused on performance. The suspenders at both ends have been upgraded, with Öhlins units in the rear and a set of USD forks from a Ducati up front. The swingarm was extended by two inches to deliver more stability, and the Trumpet?s rear hub was swapped for a CB750 item, along with its binder. Motogadget has assumed the minimal electrical duties and the front brake?s master cylinder has been mounted beneath a hand formed, alloy tank, to clean up the cockpit and enable HCG to use Tommaselli Matador levers. The complete package looks tough enough to tackle Baja and elegant enough to score its own turf at the Quail. Well done, chicos. [More]
