The stock Bonneville isn't bad as it comes.... But! it can be so much better....

As far as the suspension goes...I know alot of people like the Ikons...I went a different direction..I put Progressive Suspensions dual rate fork springs and their 440 series shocks on my Bonnie and it absolutely TRANSFORMED the handling, stability and comfort of it...The Ikons don't come close...
Hey SCB,

I have Ikons on my Thrux and to be honest I didn't notice much difference from the stock shocks. Have you ridden a Bonnie with the Ikons so you can directly compare with the Progressives? I'm happy with the Ikons but curious if something else is significantly better (without having to mortgage the house to buy them).
