A handmade fender has been placed underneath, complete with an unobtrusive license plate bracket that houses the rear turn signals. In addition, Tamarit fabricated a bespoke two-up seat from scratch, using a very unusual, yet equally interesting stitch pattern. Flanking the Bonneville’s new saddle are stylish side covers shaped to accommodate a pair of Free Spirits pod filters, with drilled openings to allow ample airflow.
All this equipment is supported by adjustable YSS shock absorbers with dual-rate springs. The T100’s factory forks are still present at the front, but they are now held in place via custom triple clamps built in-house. Lower down, one may find a replacement front fender, which is considerably smaller than the stock unit yet still large enough to keep debris at bay. Now, let’s take a closer look at the unsprung sector.
For a good bit of extra stopping power, the Tamarit squad added premium aftermarket rotors and Nissin calipers at both ends. Those chunky dual-purpose tires were sourced from Continental’s range, but there was no need for the workshop to replace the original wheels. They did away with the standard chain drive, however, installing a quieter and more durable belt setup in its stead.
Even though the Bonneville’s parallel-twin mill remains internally unchanged, it now exhales through a fresh exhaust system from Zard. The engine’s underside is protected by a custom-built sump guard, which will definitely come in handy during off-road excursions. Tamarit hooked the electronics up to a Motogadget controller with Bluetooth compatibility, and the same brand supplied much of the equipment in the cockpit.
Bar-end turn signals and mirrors comprise a part of this hardware, along with a Motoscope Tiny speedometer and compact switches. The finishing touches consist of Tamarit tank badges and a grilled retro-style headlight, but what really draws our attention is the shiny nickel plating covering the side covers, engine cases, and brake calipers, among other goodies. Elsewhere, Tindaya is a murdered-out affair done in gloss, satin, and matte finishes.
