For a long time, Jon Rispante of Nevada wanted to build an all-black hot rod Triumph—‘murdered out’, as the hipsters might say. Here’s the result, a combination of three different Triumphs that Jon had sitting around. The pre-unit front end and tank came from a “hodge-podge 1960s T100 that I paid $100 for a decade ago,” says Jon. The rear fender and various other bits came off a ‘66 Bonneville.

It was inspired by a trip to the 2008 Legend Of The Motorcycle event in California; Delfour’s exquisite Norton Ala’verda caused a stir there, so the three friends hatched plans for a sequel. “As English motorcycle fans, we choose to use a Norton featherbed frame and a Triumph 750 Bonneville engine,” says Vincent.
“But we didn’t want to make the thousandth café racer or Triton; we decided to follow our own road. The design brief for Delfour was to create a very slim and low-slung motorcycle, all in black. Delfour decided to do away with front brakes, flat-track style. Black Widow Steampunk Chopper Will Set The Streets on Fire.
