TRIUMPH 120 BRAT
The Triumph Bonneville 1200 is a favorite base for retro-style transformations, and this time the team at Lord Drake Kustoms has created a spectacular Triumph 120 Brat, a motorcycle that combines classic British aesthetics with the urban and minimalist character of the brat style. The result is an elegant, compact machine with a strong visual personality.
Classic style with an urban attitude
In this project, the goal was to transform the original Bonneville into a lower, cleaner motorcycle with a continuous visual line from the tank to the rear. To achieve this, unnecessary elements were removed and several components were redesigned, resulting in a sportier and more minimalist silhouette while maintaining the classic DNA that characterizes Triumph Motorcycles.
MODIFICATIONS
The transformation focuses primarily on the rear of the motorcycle. A new, modified subframe has been installed, adapted to mount a completely straight brat-style seat that extends the line of the tank and provides a much cleaner, more horizontal aesthetic.
The seat has been hand-upholstered with diamond-pattern stitching, adding a handcrafted and elegant touch. Wider profile tires with a mixed tread pattern have also been fitted, reinforcing the motorcycle’s robust appearance.
Integrated turn signals
Custom seat
In addition, minimalist turn signals, a more compact lighting system, and satin black details have been added to enhance the dark and modern character of the whole.
The exhaust system has been redesigned with black headers and mufflers, giving it a more aggressive look that’s consistent with the brat style. The riding position remains comfortable thanks to a clean, minimalist handlebar and brown grips that perfectly complement the seat.
Metallic Orange
One of the most striking elements of this Triumph 120 Brat is its spectacular tank painted in an intense metallic orange color, a warm tone that contrasts perfectly with the rest of the components in black.
The glossy finish of the tank highlights the classic lines of the Bonneville, while the side panels and other parts maintain a more understated look. The classic Triumph logo has been retained to reinforce the bike’s vintage identity, creating a perfect balance between tradition and personalization.
The brown leather details on the seat and grips add a warm, handcrafted touch that perfectly complements the color of the tank, resulting in a motorcycle with a carefully crafted and coherent aesthetic in all its elements.
A brat with her own personality
With this Triumph 120 Brat, Lord Drake Kustoms once again demonstrates its ability to transform iconic motorcycles into unique pieces. The result is a motorcycle that respects the essence of the original Bonneville, but with a more aggressive, modern, and urban aesthetic.
A perfect build for those looking for a classic motorcycle, but with a strong custom personality and a style that doesn’t go unnoticed on the road.
