| | Posted : 08 Apr 2011 - 02:33 Post title : Re: My Bonnie ... (Re: horse27) | | | Very nicely done.....I've had a 2001 Bonnie for 10 years come September. Similar to you, Hagon rears/ Progressive fronts/ Black and chrome, TOR's, rejetted to 130's with airbox mods, Unifilter, Corbin Gunfighter and Lady, tach kit, Dunlop GT 501's, new front sprocket, Monza gas cap and most recently added a pair of Triumph Classic bags to it.
Gets attention wherever she goes.....

| | Posted : 08 Apr 2011 - 10:22 Post title : Re: My Bonnie ... (Re: Jayhawk82) | | | Just realised the pics posted don't have the steering damper or bar risers on them ... so she is a work in progress ... and always will be
Funny thing is that it gets more attention than anything I have ever ridden - more than the T'Bird. Guess folk think it is an old bike in pretty nice condition.
Will eventually get round to fitting a 902cc kit but the engine kinda matches the chassis pretty well at the moment.
Cheers.

they are illegal on bikes made after 1973, which begs the question
Horse have you been stopped for using the plate?
as i was thinking i like the idea of the black and silver plate

Bloke down the road from me does them. I shall get one and use it on euro trips. Maybe risk it over here. Wanted to put one on for Bled but forgot all about it.

Well then, that would be safe to use when you go touring out of the country then.... no one outside of Switzerland has ever seen one of those plates.
