Custom Triumph T120 Black | British Customs

In this video, James from British Customs presents a detailed walk-around of their 2023 Triumph T120 Black build. Initially planning a revamp of their black and chrome model, the team was inspired by the bike's gas tank to take a different design approach, blending flat and shiny black with chrome accents. James highlights the custom enhancements including retro-style handlebars made from stainless steel, minimalistic CRG blind side mirrors, lightweight and high-performance Predator carbon exhausts, and a clean tail section with a slammer seat and diamond stitching. The build also features upgraded brake lines for easier maintenance, LED retro turn signals, a black sprocket with a gold chain, Bates foot pegs for better grip and riding posture, and high-performance Golfer wave rotors for improved braking.

Damn wicked!! what was a gentleman’s bike is now prince of darkness

[@britishcustoms]

Such a rad bike 💪

[@denniz040]

Super cool, you guys did a great job!

[@britishcustoms]

Appreciate that! We’ll have more build videos out so stay tuned!

[@metalmystic6214]

Beautiful build. Getting my first Triumph later this week and it’s this exact T120 Black trim. Will be reaching out at some point for some upgrades.

[@britishcustoms]

Awesome, the T120 is such a good bike, excited for you. We'll be waiting!

[@Deppenradar]

Jesus Christ. This one is the most beautiful custom i‘ve ever seen. Greetings from Germany!

[@britishcustoms]

Glad you like it!

[@sarkiskopushyan]

You guys are absolutely amazing. The small details and focus makes the biggest difference! I know where to take my bike when it’s time for customization 👏🏻

[@britishcustoms]

Our pleasure!

[@TheoChilicas]

Thanks for the awesome walk around! Super great to hear the thinking behind the design decisions made.

[@britishcustoms]

These design ideas and thoughts are just the beginning, we'll do our best to put in more of our thoughts as we have a ton! thanks for watching.

[@cthompson2250]

Super cool. Understated but has a lot of small details. Cant wait to get my T120 this fall.

[@britishcustoms]

Glad you like it! All the small details count.

[@m.l.t951]

I’m in love. Awesome build.

Thanks!

Thanks! Definitely a great looking bike.

Outstanding build! I wanna see a street twin build!

[@britishcustoms]

We have a speed twin coming up then a cafe street twin! What type of street twin build would you like to see?

[@NemoSampaio]

@@britishcustoms Cool! It would be great to see a minimalist gentleman's street scrambler street twin!

[@sparkyparky9439]

If the bike ever tips or the mirror gets pushed too hard, the glass will shatter against the bar end in this orientation. Don’t ask me how I know. The bracket should extend off the bar toward the rider, with the mirror flipped around, in my experience. Allows the mirror to fold in with no obstructions, and thanks to the shoulder joint on the clamp, the mirror can still be positioned to give ample viewing range.

[@phillipmitchell5879]

Nice build! Thx for sharing! (PS - Could music be quieter for next video?)

[@britishcustoms]

Noted! We thought the music was quite low as it is but we'll keep that in mind for next time, thanks for the feedback

[@motonoob4k]

Nice build. Feel free to customize my 2020 T120 ACE. I haven’t seen one with taller handle bars. It would be great to see mods for those of us that commute to office jobs and who like to take our ladies on evening rides.

[@britishcustoms]

What type of rise or bars would you like to see? We're always open to feedback so we can expand our "to-do" list ;)

[@EdouardAubertin-m3c]

Beautiful ! About turn signal, it is the Classic or LED version ? can you tell me what the reference is? Thanks ;)

[@britishcustoms]

Thanks! these are the LED versions. britishcustoms.com/products/plug-play-retro-led-turn-signals-bc501-102-bs-led

Thanks ✌️

[@Navi.ex100]

Hi there! great channel, I have a bonni t120 2016 is there any option to change the gauge in single one on this model?

[@britishcustoms]

At the moment, we do not have that option nor have seen a bolt-on option. Anything is possible but working with CANBUS and having to be model/year specific on these gauges can be tricky. Motogadget usually has solutions to this so we'll see with some time!

[@Navi.ex100]

@@britishcustoms thanks for the mega fastest reply!! Actually i have a problem with my bonny t120 2016, i posted 2 videos on my channel, there is some issues with the electronic, today the service from my village just call me that he wasn’t able to find what is the problem with the fuse for the indicators clock alarm etc…. Actually the fuse was blown and obviously the indicators wasn’t working so i put a new fuse then the ignition went on with out the key inside (funny miracle) the indicators start working but then i try to start the motor but it couldn’t start. Then i removed the fuse and i start the motor without the fuse and i put the fuse back, everything went fine but when i try to turn off the motor with the key i couldn’t, he keep working without the key inside…. I have posted 2 videos on YT i you can take a look and share any tips i would be thankful. Btw i already made appointment in triumph service but i need to wait 2-3 weeks. Btw the service in my village think that the problem could be in the ignition that’s why i would like to know if there is option to put single gauge! Sorry for the long comment.

[@britishcustoms]

Electrical problems are the worst! We get it! (especially weird with stock lights) but it can usually happen with broken wires and especially since the flasher is built into speedo, I'd check for the wires in that area or near headtube to see if you see any pinched/chewed/mangled wire(s). Otherwise, it can be numerous things: short in the lights, faulty speedo, faulty ignition up to ECU, ground issue. I hope the dealer figures it out!

[@Navi.ex100]

@@britishcustoms thank you, i brought it today in the Triumph Service so when the problem is solved i would let you know, maybe we can help to someone else to save extra cost. ✌️

[@rymathis]

What seat is that on the T100 Black & Chrome you reference near the top of the video? Looks like the slammer but just oiled up, maybe?

[@britishcustoms]

It was our limited edition model, using actual veg-tanned leather (premium leather). We stopped after that first run as there ended up being much more complaints then we had hoped; from patina, to being slippery from the wrong conditioner being used, and more.

[@rymathis]

@@britishcustoms Thanks! It looks amazing in the still photos. Too bad it didn't work out.

[@jeromeade2971]

Is there a solo seat for a t120? Great vedio

[@britishcustoms]

We do not have a solo seat for the t120 at the moment - feel free to give us a call for more info and feedback - 877-999-2748

[@mattthompson900]

Been eyeing headers or full exhaust to cut cat. Any reason you went slipons and any input on you headers vs you drag setup? TIA!

[@britishcustoms]

Headers would ultimately be for those looking for that raw Triumph tone on these liquid cooled models (makes a huge difference; you have to hear and feel it in person) but the downsides we’ve seen for some people = cost (product / labor), ends up being too loud sometimes, and they don’t need any extra performance. Give us a call and we can discuss further on this! 877-999-2748

[@pedrofrancisco939]

was it really necessary to switch the brake lines for those bars? They don't seem much longer than the stock ones

[@britishcustoms]

On some models, it isn't necessary with some of our bars on the Speed Twin or Speedmaster as the stock cables work but if we have a kit that calls for cables, it's definitely necessary. We've had people in the past tell us it's not necessary and they come back to us with issues of a stuck throttle (even if it's ride by wire), bars not being able to turn all the way due to the cable(s) at maxing out on tightness through a turn, clutch issues, banjos leaking, etc and it ends up being more money to fix at a professional shop.

[@PaulBilton]

Fantastic bike, only made better with some lovely, well considered upgrades!

[@britishcustoms]

Agreed! It's already a very good bike, we just added a few of our finishing touches to it!

[@Zoldyck_iLLUMi]

How much will it cost for the whole modification sir

[@britishcustoms]

anything for new speedtwin~? 👍🏻

It's up next! we just worked on one, did a video showing some fitments and R&D process on a 23 Speed Twin.

Any dealers in India, so as to minimise shipping and customs costs.

[@britishcustoms]

Unfortunately we do not have dealers in India but shoot us an email at [e-mail] with the product(s) you are interested in and where this will be shipping to. Our shipping system covers duties/taxes so that you don't have to pay that when the item arrives. We can do our best to see if we can apply a discount to minimize the shipping fees!

[@roygardiner2229]

I prefer the original features. Sorry, no offence intended.

[@britishcustoms]

Totally get it! There are a million different ways to build and very subjective

[@malemthounaojam5046]

Look wise ... i prefer the air cooled bonneville.. look much retro compared to this

[@britishcustoms]

You definitely can’t go wrong with the air cooled models. Especially carbureted when you can use different/custom tanks.

[@donjingle4059]

Over priced cali junk.

[@britishcustoms]

Got a few questions regarding your feedback: 1. What would you consider "good" pricing and why? 2. Does the "why/what/where" matter in terms of design and manufacturing? 3. Can you further define "cali junk"? 4. Do you ride a Triumph? We're always trying to observe and understand opinions in the Triumph community so we're definitely curious!

[@donjingle4059]

@@britishcustoms If it's made in Cali it may as well be made in Mexico and the only thing good from Mexico is coca cola.

[@britishcustoms]

@@donjingle4059 We're not aware of the specific manufacturing processes through different countries or companies but we're confident of ours. Just to provide background lets say on our exhausts, we hand pick the best batch of 304 stainless steel, we roll them, TIG weld, then brush all by hand by our team of skilled fabricators right here in Gardena, California. Next to our fabricators, the design feedback is based off of our racers (Joe Kopp as of late), legends (Eddie Mulder is a big one), and our customer feedback of over 20 years. With that said, we're also a team of riders and we stand by our products so if anyone ever experiences any craftsmanship issues, we're on it, rider to rider. Not sure if the same could be said for companies overseas but that's how we roll!
