Installing a new seat cover
We’re often asked for detailed instructions as to how to install a new Triumph seat cover.
John Healy has covered this thoroughly in Vintage Bike magazine, and has an excellent tutorial available here….
Hutchinson Cycle at Mods vs. Rockers Chicago 2013
We were thrilled to have two of our restorations at the 2013 Mods vs. Rockers rally in Chicago this year.
The first was our 1968 Triumph Bonneville which was featured on a recent blog post following it’s completion. The second was our newest restoration – and focus of an upcoming blog post- a 1970 Triumph Daytona T100R finished in a very correct Jacaranda Purple and Silver Sheen.
Photographer Keith May was on hand at the show taking photos of bikes on display. We were thrilled that he was able to grab a few snaps of our bikes late in the day, after the rain had subsided.
All in all, it was a fantastic rally, and lived up to the hype. Thanks to Larry Fletcher, Martin Cimek, and Steel Toe Press for putting such a great event together.
1968 Triumph Bonneville T120R for sale
We were pleased to come across a fantastic 1968 Bonneville over this winter, and have her ready to hit the road.
This bike has undergone a total refresh, includes many new components, and runs just like you’d expect after undergoing our tune up. With a new ’68 Bonnie paint job to match, this is a great chance to own one of our favorite classic machines.

Gorgeous ’68 Bonneville tank restoration
Our paint shop has been fortunate to enjoy a very busy off-season this year. As a matter of fact, we’ve been painting quite a few tanks for the 1968 Triumph T120R Bonneville – one of our favorites.
Recently, a valued customer came to pick up his tank, and we were able to give him a quick tour of the paint room where we have a number of ’68 tanks in progress.
As part of our extensive collection, we have a pristine NOS ’68 tank which has only seen the light of day one or two times in it’s 45-year lifetime. The color and pattern we use for our customers matches this tank perfectly.
In the first of three photos below, the NOS tank is closest to the camera. Next to that hangs one of two ’68 tanks which have been prepped with a gold base coat over which the Hi-Fi Scarlet is applied. Between those two gold tanks is our customer’s finished tank. Also, note our NOS ’70 Daytona tank in Jacaranda Purple on the shelf in the background.
This tank was prepped extensively prior to applying the Hi-Fi Scarlet, Silver Sheen, and hand-applied gold pinstripe. Before he left with the tank, Hutch made sure the mounting bolt holes on the bottom were properly cleaned out with a tap, and that the bolts fit without issue.
Needless to say, our customer was pretty thrilled by our results and the behind-the-scenes tour.

Our Pacific Blue & Silver Sheen on a ’65 Bonneville restoration by Leroy Turner
There’s nothing we like more than to see a renown restorer such as Leroy Turner applying our paint to his latest restoration project.
In this case, he’s just completed a 1965 Bonneville for the very well regarded Wayne Hamilton collection. Leroy and his team have done wonderful work, and we’re proud to have played a small part.

Our 1968 Triumph T120R Bonneville restoration
As many in the British bike community know, our founder Don Hutchinson experienced some health challenges toward the end of last year which waylaid him for the better part of 3 months.
We’re thrilled, of course, with his recovery and return. Our shop is finally back to normal.
While Hutch was away, we did everything we could to keep things moving exactly as he would want. One project which made it’s way to the top of our list was the restoration of this fine 1968 Triumph T120R Bonneville.
This bike began as a complete core, found in a shed, covered with dirt and rot. We completely disassembled the bike, powder-coated all the black parts, re-chromed the chrome parts, cad plated the proper parts, and replaced a number of components.
Most of the parts are original, including all chrome parts and sheet metal. Look for our special touches, such as the original white plastic front brake cable router, bakelite Champion spark plug caps, and restored Lucas ammeter.
Needless to say, the paint job is one of our finer efforts. The Hi-Fi Scarlet and Silver Sheen with hand-applied gold pinstripes is just outstanding (if we say so ourselves).
We’re proud to say the result is pretty typical of our shop, and we look forward to the owner of this bike enjoying it for years to come.

Perfection on our 1969 Triumph Bonneville T120R
We’ve spent a good deal of time working with a valued customer to make his 1969 Triumph Bonneville as perfect as it gets, and we’ve succeeded.
We’re thrilled with the results. While it was a wonderful bike to begin with, it now stands out as a near-flawless example of this legendary motorbike.
Please see additional photographs, and links to prior blog posts regarding this machine, in our “Customer Bikes” section.

Our 1968 Triumph TR6R Tiger 650 is finished!
Back in early February, we began by sharing photos of the bike in its then-current state, and outlining our plan of attack.
By late February, we’d sandblasted our frame. In early March, we’d sandblasted all other parts to be powdercoated, and had sourced an original fuel tank.
As we moved towards April, the powdercoating was completed, our tank was prepped for paint, and we’d begun the enjoyable task of filling our parts table with new and NOS components.
In April and May, we continued sourcing rare parts, and painted the tank to exactly match the original.
Since that time, we’ve been busily assembling the engine, and in turn, the completed machine featured here. It is an outstanding motorbike in every way. The engine growls, the suspension and controls are precisely calibrated, and the bike is every bit as beautiful as we’d originally envisioned.
As the build of this bike progressed, we were pleased to arrange to deliver it to its new owner immediately on completion, so it is not available for sale. However, we’ve already begun restoration on a 1970 Bonneville, which is available to build to customer specification.
Check additional photographs of this bike out in our “Customer Bikes” section.
