Hey guys, my buddy has a new t100 and is looking to swap his mid controls for some thruxton rearsets. I just got done doing the same thing on my Bonnie with another member, if you've thought about it let me know, it's actually super easy to do, and the thruxton Isn't affected at all. It's a straight swap. I'd have no problem helping out anyone interested. Thanks guys.

The brake side does interfere with the stock mufflers on a Bonnie, that is correct. However, Most people interested in putting rearsets on their Bonnie have already swapped that exhaust out. I try to get some photos up later today. There are ways around the tight fit, and there is also a good blog that helps go into detail. Check out "keefs Bonnie page." Just type that in your search bar and it should pop up.

Photos of parts needed for swap

Couldn't find the original photo of the Thruxton parts I put on my bike, but these are all of the parts needed to do the swap on both sides. The bonneville will have clearance issues with the stock exhaust. You can shim out the exhaust and make it work, but aftermarket exhaust, which most of us have, makes it a simple 10 minute swap. First time trying to post photos, dont really have it figured out yet, sorry about that.
