How to turn your Triumph into a Triumph Custom: complete guide

Making your Triumph unique does not require work costing thousands of euros. Often, the right accessories are enough to change its character, style and road presence. Hinckley’s Modern Classic range offers the perfect base for creating a true Triumph custom, personal and instantly recognisable.

Also taking inspiration from the famous Triumph Bonneville Build-Off, you can find plenty of ideas for customising your bike without overly invasive work. Let’s see, model by model, how to transform Triumph’s most popular bikes.

Triumph Bonneville

The Triumph Bonneville is one of the best bases for a special. It is a classic, well-balanced and highly versatile bike, suited to different interpretations: more minimal, more aggressive or more race-inspired.

To achieve a bolder look, you can make changes such as:

short, compact exhausts
a wide handlebar for more direct riding
custom paintwork on the frame or tank
wheels and details that emphasise its character

If, on the other hand, you want a Bonneville in flat track style, you can opt for a seat with tracker tail, number boards, a more essential headlight unit and smaller indicators. An aftermarket exhaust also helps give it the right sound and presence.

Triumph Thruxton

The Triumph Thruxton is the café racer par excellence. It already has a very strong identity, but it can become even more personal with a few targeted touches.

To enhance its lines, you can choose:

a more compact and sporty exhaust
indicators and lights with a minimal design
more discreet mirrors
a lighter or shorter front mudguard

The result is an even cleaner, sleeker and more aggressive bike, perfect for anyone wanting a Triumph custom with a racing spirit without altering the original design.

Triumph Street Scrambler 900

The Triumph Street Scrambler 900 represents the freest and most adventurous soul of the Modern Classic range. It already has a strong personality, but with the right accessories it can become even more distinctive.

To emphasise its scrambler look, you can fit:

a flyscreen and high front mudguard
aftermarket serrated footpegs
an engine guard
knobbly tyres
an exhaust with a more assertive sound

With these modifications, the Street Scrambler gains even more presence, both on the road and on light off-road trails, while maintaining a consistent and authentic style.

Triumph Speed Twin

The Triumph Speed Twin is a modern roadster with a classic soul. It is the ideal choice for those looking for lively performance without giving up the charm of the British twin-cylinder engine and retro styling.

To customise it, you can start with simple but effective accessories:

bar-end mirrors
sports flyscreen
aftermarket exhaust
styling details to lighten its lines

Those who want to go further can use the Speed Twin as the basis for a more radical special, but even with just a few well-chosen components, you can achieve a bike with a unique and very personal character.

Create your Triumph Custom with the right accessories

Customising a Triumph does not necessarily mean transforming it completely. Often, it is precisely the choice of accessories that makes the difference: an exhaust, a seat, a flyscreen or a set of indicators can completely change the final result.

Whether you want a more aggressive Bonneville, an even more café racer-style Thruxton, a Street Scrambler ready for adventure or a sportier Speed Twin, the rule is always the same: start with a good base and choose components that match your style.
