In the beginning, I only intended to upgrade the exhaust on this 2013 Triumph Bonneville and make a few basic changes to the handlebars and mirrors. Yet before I knew it, the project evolved into something more and along the way and Salzmoto was born.

When the domino effect of changes started piling up with this motorcycle, I saw an opportunity to push it just a little bit further into something remarkable. Not simply remarkable in result, but in process. I wanted to see what I could do with just basic tools and 99% aftermarket parts. I wanted this project to inspire other garage builders to see what was possible with just a little bit of imagination and the right ingredients. As part of the up-front design process, I spent a little time in Photoshop, and this was my initial vision:

With that rendering, the #SalzmotoBonny project began. I created a parts list and started acquiring all the pieces that would go into this build. The bike debuted over on Behind The Moto, and has since been featured in numerous places.
