Bonnie a Cafe
Beyote,
Did you remove the AI on your Bonnie? If not, do that first.
Next, buy some Norman Hyde "ACE" bars. This is by far the best bang for your buck and will do the most to get you into "cafe" mode. They are reasonably priced, and they mount right onto your existing risers. The only thing you will have to do is drill out the "locating/safety pin" hole in the new bars, and swap all the related hardware over. It is a relatively simple process.
Nice loud pipes would be next on the list. Bikes that sound like sewing machines are hazardous to your health. A proper loud bike is hazardous to everyone else's peace... which is good for your health! Do a little research for brands and look. I've seen cafe bikes with both upswept and straight-line pipes. I like'm both. I don't know if they make upswept pipes for a new Bonnie, but I imagine someone does. Perhaps someone else can chime in on that.
Then, swap out your bench seat for a solo seat. Check to make sure the solo versions will fit to the Bonnie. I'm fairly sure they do, but couldn't guarantee it.
What year and color is your Bonnie? I am considering swapping out my '04 Thruxton (black and chequered) for a solid silver Bonnie color. This would include tank, side panels, and possibly the seat, but like I said, I don't know if a stock Bonnie seat and a Thruxton solo-seat are interchangable.
I'm sure others will have other suggestions too, so I'll head out.
Let me know if you're interested in the swap.
Kind Regards,
-Zim
