simeym,
Legends are 'similar' to the Thunderbirds (same motor etc), but the Bonneville is a different beast altogether.
For starters, the Bonneville has two cylinders and the Legend/Thunderbird has three.
Hi
good to know these things, particularly about the nuts coming loose inside the muffler. However mine have already come loose on one side. Any suggestions on how to repair this as the rattling is driving me nuts.

My major issue with the the T-Bird Sport is the seat. I found that it is very simple and pretty cheap to modify the seat and make it much more comfortable. If you would like to take a crack at improving your t-bird seat, check out the attached pdf.

If the nuts have not come all the way off what might work is using an electric drill or impact wrench to spin the bolt real fast. It works on forks to get that damper rod bolt out and back in if you don't have the special holding tool.

May I ask what VIN# (last six digits) are as I have a 1996 T-Bird as well and the sprag clutch (which works fine yet) issue is lurking in the back on my mind.
just put money down on 99 Adventure
