1968 Triumph Bonneville Bobber

Ben from Marietta, Georgia, United States, made available these pictures of his 1968 Triumph Bonneville Bobber.

Ben: "The bike you are looking at is a custom built Triumph. As the pics show there is a lot of work in the bike. Engine has 4800 on rebuild. The bars are 60's T bars and are super comfortable with seat position and control setup. This bike is tagged and gets ridden and has the usual chips and scratches. The bike was shown in the Hairbraine hardback book."
