Awesome job! Can I see more photos of the flat gauge cluster as well as the halo LED light (both in on and off modes)? Are you able to use only Halo in daytime running mode? (i.e. when does the Halo activate?)
Got a barn-find 2001 Bonnie on eBay, cleaned and rejetted the carbs, replaced the tires, switched to a mini-speedo, Biltwell Tracker bars, and mini indicators, removed the rear fender, made a fender eliminator, bobbed the front fender, and removed the airbox baffle and right-side mirror. Although my previous bike was a 375 lb Kawasaki Ninja 650 streetfighter, I really like this Bonnie. It cost about than $4,200 total.
Loving looking at all of your bikes being customised.
My 2004 Speedmaster big bore 988. Has had some more work done since the photos but it is coming along.
I just bought a 2010 SE and transformed it into the SE100. A utilitarian bike for the discerning Midwestern dirtbag.
The other is my 1972 Bonne-tiger the day I saw it and its current incarnation.
I've still got work left to do, but here's a current before/after:
Mods:
Triumph Tank Knee Pads
British Customs Air Injection Removal Kit, Black oxide
Napoleon Bar End Mirror
British Customs Shorty Low Profile Seat Screws
British Customs Cateye Fender Eliminator Kit
Rectifier and horn relocation
Painted headlight basket - Black matte
PlastiDip tank emblems - Black
British Customs Front Turn Signal Bracket
British Customs Rear Turn Signal Relocation Brackets
British Customs Retro Turn Signals Satin Black EL01-097 Smoked
British Customs Front Turn Signal Block Offs
I post this as I will most likely not make any huge mods this season, time to ride it!
I am happy whit the result, this is the first bike I do more than service on. This Forum have given me ideas and knowledge to do it! Keep up the posts!
Before and NOW.
Looks great. What mufflers are those, and are you happy with them? I'd love to be able to access the rear wheel without fighting the exhaust, and drop the passenger pegs an inch or so for my wife...
Thanks, it's fun to look back and see the evolution.
It is a custom made seat from Texavina. The quality is top notch, actually surprise me a bit. Black metal seat pan, high quality vinyl, and great craftsmanship. It is a direct bolt on swap as well, easy to swap back when the wife wants a ride?
