Featured Bonneville Project

So, as some of you may know, i have started a Bonneville project. And I did get frowned upon a bit, since I’m taking a full working 1967 Bonneville, and turning in to a sort of Bobber/cafe racer type of bike. Some of you would of course rather seen the bike restored to original, but that’s not going to happen. I am how ever keeping all the original parts, and I’m not cutting into the frame, or destroying anything. So there is a possibility that it some day will return to its original glory
Any way, thought i would make a post here where I could let you guys see the progress of my work, and maybe get some feedback
At the moment, i have taken the bike apart, and i have bought most of the parts for the build. So now I’m going to trial fit everything to see that it all fits like I imagined.
Since I’m going to put on clip ons, i have been looking for å new top for the triple tree, but it doesn’t look like anyone has made that, so have have talked to a guy here in Norway who CNC motorcycle parts for custom builds, and you can have him make anything you like. So I have now ordered a new sett of topp and bottom triple tree, so it looks much more clean.

Here are some of the first pictures of where I’m at now

 

Thanks Joe, I’m so excited about this, it has been a dream for many years to do this build, and now I’m in the position where i can finally make it come true

 

Thanks, will absolutely try and get some pictures out every week. At the moment i work on the bike once a week, but hopefully i can do more as winter sets in.

 

I love questions I hear you, I know its “a bit” less ass friendly But, I’m familiar with this, a friend have a 69 hard tail that he bought last year, and i have tried it a few times. But, the bike will not be for the long trips, but for the smaller cafe runs, and for show So I know what I’m (or my ass) is getting inn to

 

Hope I’ll be able to harden that backend of mine But yes, this is a bit more for show then comfort...its the price i have to pay

 

Thanks

 

Thanks mate

 

Thanks, I’m keeping the original forks, wheel and tire. But removing the mudguard. New, and little bit smaller headlight with cap, and one instrument for speed.
