It's really fantastic to see bikes whose attitude and entire character can be enhanced even with small changes: London-based Triumph enthusiast Dan Dewsbury wanted more from his bike and by all means, he really got what he wanted.
Dan's Triumph relies more on subtler changes than on radical hacking and sawing and welding and the actual look of the bike evokes the racers which used to prowl the roads of England 40 years ago.
A shiny jet black paint job was exceptionally complemented by gold pinstriping made by Cycleworks in Surrey, new, shorter Hagon dual rear shocks lowered the tail of the Triumph an inch or so, and a modified gel seat got covered in a (now darkened) tan coat provided by Viking Vinyl.
A bar-end mirror with a rather striking retro design adorns the right side of the bike, and complements other small details such as the rubber gaiters on the fork and matching black- painted rims. A sporty 2-in-1 Arrow exhaust adds looks, sound and performance points to this build.
There is nothing utterly breathtaking about the Black Prince, but we just know a lot of people will turn their heads as Dan rides by. And he really does, as this is his daily ride to work.
