The predator's from BC are about the best product they offer regarding "bang for your buck". They sound great, are peaceful enough to not disturb the neighborhood when leaving early am in the heat of the summer for a day out, yet bark when you crack the throttle. You'll argueably gain the most power from these slip on's.

If you'd like to retain the classic look, check out the sprint muffler's offered by Newbonneville.com I havent heard them in person, but from sound clip's they sound like the original.


Also, anticipate roughly 8+ hp at the rear wheel from free flowing exhaust and airbox removal/rejetting. I seem to recall when my bike was at that stage I had around 58 at the rear wheel.

As for lowering the bike, you can get shock's for the rear that are 1" or possibly 1 1/2" shorter than stock, then simply loosen up the yoke and slide the yoke down lower on the front fork's. New lowered shock's would offer stiffer spring rate's.

Also check out newbonneville.com for billybars. A guy from here manufactured some really nice highway peg's for the bonnie.

Keep in mind regarding clip-on's that the bonnie uses 1" bars, you'll need 1" clipon's to retain the use of your controls.

The thruxton's use 7/8th's bars.
