Love the cocktails shakers exhaust classic choice for a bobber my colour choice would be candy apple red tank and every think Black and chrome bit boring but when that sun hits the tank pop

[@weemsmotorco]

Nice ideas!

[@margotsworld6429]

I’d keep it raw. It looks so good. Great job

[@weemsmotorco]

Raw is cool!

[@fearsomename4517]

So far I really like everything you did. Your custom '56 Drag Bike is my all-time favorite custom it's a masterpiece.

[@weemsmotorco]

Just wait for the video coming out in a few weeks on 56 running!!!!!

[@haneymoto]

56 is something special. Its even crazier in person

[@mainframe64]

Orange, been wanting to paint a bike burnt candy orange for a while. This is a really cool customer build. Would really love to see you build a 790/865cc engined bike.

[@weemsmotorco]

That would be RAD!

[@Channelizer1970]

Have been watching your channel for awhile now !! Always excited to see what's next. You have inspired me to build my first triumph, a 1970 t100r ! If it come out half as good I will be happy. Thank you !

With out saying l grew up Triumph..Wish l knew how to send a few pics of his drag bikes.. Not meaning carry on.. Just wanted to mention l fell your doing great with the work you do on the old Triumphs and keeping them alive..I love my old 63 custom Bonnie..

[@weemsmotorco]

Mark, Thanks for reaching out! I would love to see those photos! You can email them to me at [e-mail] and a 1963 Bonneville is a great bike! First year Unit Construction with a few one year only parts!

Red/cream coloured tank , red with a cream colored strip mudguards (fender )red frame . Beautiful bike by the way 👍👍 See you next week jared , best regards to the family . Peace out ✌

I agree with you. Red and cream would look great.

We all agree!

[@SaddleTrampTV]

I ran into that kinda scenario while building my 76 sportster; later model motor in an earlier frame. Thus the conversion over to a right side shift from a left side shift.

[@weemsmotorco]

YES!...just opposite!

[@GallivantingGeezer72]

Jade green with blood red accents would look awesome on that build

[@weemsmotorco]

Green and Red, now that is a thought!

[@fitzstermoto]

That's coming out absolutely beautiful Jared, awesome job! Honestly when it comes to the color (and I normally wouldn't choose these colors) but I really think a loud green/white/black theme would look really sharp (like a Hulk color themed motorcycle) done tastefully! Plus the color green is often associated with go fast so that would tie in nicely as well! Regardless of what color(s) you choose, I know it will come out fantastic because you're the one doing the work! Thanks so much for sharing, I really admire and love your work and craftsmanship! 🏍🏍🏍 Edit: I also just remembered that last week was St Patty's Day so the green color would work for that as well ... LOL!

[@weemsmotorco]

Green is the British Racing color of choice!

[@gasmann6746]

Always getting it done. Colour try True Blu with silver pinstriping should look good . Cant wait to see it finished your bikes are something else 👍🏻🇦🇺

Blue is sweet!

[@weemsmotorco]

Thanks!

[@user-vs5lr1op6h]

An artist always sees color and its patterns better. When asked how I see it, it’s possible: light silver, and dark stripes on the tank, plus a white seat.

[@weemsmotorco]

Great idea!

[@bull1962]

👍 750's got a bad wrap back in the day, but they are a sweet classic daily ride. With STD cams power is a lot flatter/broader than the 650's with a bit more torque. Lucky enough to own both.😀😀

[@weemsmotorco]

Couldn't agree more!

[@vv1rd]

Looks good. I would paint it british racing green.

[@weemsmotorco]

Perfect!

[@BobberRider]

Triumph Morello red like my 2017 Bobber. Brass petrol cap. I've had the bike from new and ever time I see it it's drop dead gorgeous.

[@weemsmotorco]

Can't go wrong with Red!

[@Nils_Martin]

I would paint the frame, rearmudgard and petrol tank it in a champagne metallic with a bas of California sage green and silver metallic frame and Triumph logo on the petrol tank, and a whole lotta of chrome.

[@weemsmotorco]

Oh that sounds sexy!

[@lifetomyyears1649]

You, sir, are a artist. If it was mine, I would paint it silver.

[@weemsmotorco]

Classic!

[@dietrichess9997]

I've always wanted to have my bike painted eggplant. It's a purple that is so dark, it's almost black, and the purple shows when the light hits the right way. Actually, I just did a quick check, and I may be wrong about the name "eggplant". However, a purple-so-dark-it's-almost-black could be the name. 🙂

[@weemsmotorco]

Sounds RAD!

[@supernatural7690]

It's either black or British racing green. Easy

[@weemsmotorco]

Both nice choices!

[@irvineyoung1266]

Candy Apple Red and Black with chrome mudguards. This was one of the four colour choices for the 1979 Bonnie. Looking forward to the next videos.

[@weemsmotorco]

So awesome!

[@Goldwing1]

Good Thinking it sure takes a lot of time, healthy energy efforts with plenty of money for a nice Dream Motorcycle…If it was mine I’d paint it black just like 🎶The Rolling Stones song 🎶

Not burnt orange...... candy tangerine with a single line panel style pinstripe scheme in day glo 1 shot . The frame and tanks and fenders all painted and panelled .gas tank logo should be old style in gold flake. If your interested I would be happy to do the striping.

[@daveco1270]

That's how a proper Triumph hardtail bobber should look. So many people get it wrong. One thing I don't understand with a lot of these hardtail builds, including this one, is why the seat always slants backwards... won't the rider feel like they're sliding off the back of the bike? Seems like you'd want the seat to be parallel to the ground or even tilted slightly forward without the weight of the rider on it. is there a reason for the seat placement or is it the look?

[@weemsmotorco]

Have you ever considered using a mini keg for an oil bag?

Black frame and clear coat the bare metal tank and fender. Not sure how to paint the oil tank. A black oil tank might stop the black battery from standing out so much. Or, black frame and a dark rich red tank and fender with slim to no metal flake.

@weemsmotorco I've got a CB 750 chopper I'm thinking about raffling off maybe this summer when I'm finished it with it and using the majority of the proceeds to give to forgotten angels. I've seen it on your channel and would love to help them out. I had my painter do an amazing paint job on it, but I build mostly shovelheads and panheads and the cb is kinda like a step child lol so I figured I could do something good with it. I'm in TN and your in Florida and you have the relationship with them, so if I can pull it off, maybe you can present them with donation for me. The bike is briefly in my last video if you wanna see it.
