    Does anyone know if the side panels for all the 2016 onwards Modern Classic Bonnevilles are interchangeable?

    I know there are issues around how far forward the front edges come and whether they'd hit the mouldings around the injection system, but I want to know if the three lugs that hold the side panels to the frame are spaced to the same geometry on all models?

    Thanks all:).

    Well that silence was encouraging.

    Anyway, I can now report that having found on eBay and bought an immaculate pair of Thruxton R side-panels to add to my Street Cup, the answer is no; the spacing for the mounting lugs is not universal and Truxton Panels (and therefore, probably also Speed Twin 1200 and T120 panels) do not fit the Street Twin, Speed Twin 900 T100 frame that is shared with the Street Cup. (Fortunately the seller was a breakers and does give refunds:) apart from postage:neutral:.)

    So if like me you're trying to give your Street Twin / Cup a more 50s/60s classic look, then only the T100 panels will do, trouble is nobody is selling a decent pair at a decent price. No I'm not interested in the after market offerings from Motone Omega Racer etc, they're a little too modern racer for me.

    Hey ho the search goes on, but that's part of the fun:).
