    Hi all, just joined this here forum so be gentle with me ;)
    I've just bought me second Triumph, it's 2015 Bonneville Newchurch that only had 954 miles on it. Loving it to bits but will make a few mods, mainly to the suspension as it's a tad hard.
    Any advice would be welcome. fullsizeoutput_4ff.jpeg

    I'm a newby too. They seem very nice here, which makes me a bit suspicious :) Seems to be some pretty knowledgeable chaps too. Love the look of your bike, very smart indeed.

    Cheers guys. Can't lie, I'm loving the Bonnie. The very first bike I ever rode was a Bonnie and I always said one day I'd get one, well it was only 49 years ago, at least I kept my word :yum

    I see you changed the rear shocks, are they TEC?

    You are right to be wary!!!!:eek: Wait until just before Nursey's meds round when we are all starting to get a wee bit frisky. Then your worst fears may well be confirmed!:scream::laughing::laughing::laughing::scream:

    They are, but I've swapped to Hagons before I rode the bike.
    Probably nothing wrong with the TEC's but I know Hagons work well (other half has a 2013 SE Bonnie) so fitted them.
    Must get around to advertising the TEC's.....
