    Hi all just bought an 09 Bonneville Se to keep my GS company.
    Had an Explorer and a 800 XR always fancied a Bonnie now got one.
    Really great to ride very different to my usual bike but great fun.
    It’s virtually standard so will be doing some mods over winter.
    Based on Wirral.

    Hi and welcome to the forum :cool:
    I had a 2012 SE for a few years. Best mods you can do will be to improve the fairly poor stock suspension, both front and rear. TEC bike parts are cheap but not the best quality. I went with secondhand Hagon shocks off ebay.
    Probably want to change the stock exhaust as well - just too quiet for a Bonneville.
    Various options but don't go loud and cheap, get something with a deeper growl to make it sound like it should.
