    @PatW that’s one nice looking Bonnie there. Love the subtle mods, just right.

    Thanks Russell, mods are ikon springs and 7 weight fork oil 1" rise bars 4" wider than standard, Halcyon bar end mirrors I've owned for years, air injection removed, Burton seat, Hagon shocks. Dunstall straight through pipes, I tried the tunecu tune and K&N filter but didn't like the results so I put an original new filter back in and added the Triumph Arrows tune which runs perfectly for me 20210722_181252.jpg

    Looks like you're another Triumph owner helping to keep Motone in business. They do make some fab gear for our classic Bonneville's. I've got various bits fitted to my Street Twin and, like you, I've got their headlight brackets to fit and also their regulator relocation bracket and speedo lowering bracket. There's their right-side engine cover to go on at the next service (bought when they had a 20%-off deal but couldn't afford the left-side as well!). I love the Saturn mufflers but at £300+ they're a bit pricey. At the moment I'm happy with the TEC end cans, which have the removable baffle, unlike the Motone's.
    Their billet indicators are ace, I'm surprised you haven't got them at the front.

    Hey, they sure do have some great parts. I do have the front indicators however waiting to fit the headlight brackets and will do both at the same time
    I would love to get the engine covers et. but as you say they are pricey. I bought most of my parts on their Black Friday offer, 20% off.
    You mention that the baffles on the Saturn V are not removable… I wasn’t aware of that

    My nephew recently had an operation on his leg and is desperate to get back out on two wheels but his Fireblade is too uncomfortable, so I took my bobber and let him take my Triumph Bonneville out.
    We had a lovely day riding around the south coast of England. Half way round we swapped over for a bit but the forward pegs on my Bobber hurt his leg so he mainly rode the Triumph - which he loved. Its the first time I've ridden next to my other bike and watched it ride along the road. They both look superb - if I say so myself.

    My bobber is built around a custom British Sledhead gooseneck drag frame with a 1996 1200 evo engine thats skimmed, ported and dynode'd at 85.7bhp and 112.3n of torque.
    The Bonnie is the 4th one to come off the Hinckley line and has only done 5,000 miles. I've modified the 790c carb engine to produce around 20bhp more (Norman Hydes, de-baffled, de-snorkelled, blue flame, re-jetted, SAI delete, K&N, 3mm air hole etc) but have done my best to keep it looking classic.

    T100 looking great, beachy head used to be a favourite spot for "ending it all" no scooters around were there?;)

    Mines a Bonneville 800 (to new for the old T100, and too old for the new T100).
    Couldn't see any scooters or Phil Daniels

    Recently added the Motone headlight brackets and front indicators to go with the rear. I also swapped out the stock pipes for BC Predator Pro Shortys.
    I hesitated in changing the stock end cans as I really liked the look of them but was looking for a more solid and meatier sound.. After a some research I felt that the Shortys had the sound I was looking for. I’m really pleased with it. On tick over they don’t sound very loud, just had a slightly deeper tone. When you open her up to about 3000 revs that’s when she really comes alive

    The front number plate on your Bonneville has a profound visual impact, I really like Lez, looks great!

    Hi Curly, rear blinkers and light are a one piece aftermarket item.
    Not sure of name of name of maker. I have since mounted blinkers at
    back of seat, but kept light the same. Can get a pic of it if you want.
