I signed the papers Dec 27th. It has been agony waiting for it to arrive! The holdup was due to accessories that had to be ordered and installed - and a couple of items that weren't received with the first order. The weather and road conditions haven't been great anyway - and we have some seriously cold air headed our way again. I hope to get out for a short ride tomorrow though - it might get into the low 30's. It sure is great to have it in my garage at last!

Ready to Ride

Congratulations!

I put my deposit down on a silver 07 Bonnie last Saturday and hope to pick her up late this week after the accessories have been installed (TORs, center stand, tach, A/I removed).

Can't wait to actually get her!

Congrats again

Congrats, Pauljo: hopefully it isn't too cold to slip out to the garage and take a pic. We'd all love to see what that new beauty looks like.

Congrats man! Better invest in some warm riding gear then... no way you are not going to cave to that temptation!

I'll try to get that done this week. Is there a FAQ where I can find instructions for how to insert pictures into a post?

Hah! I own both Widder and Gerbing vest/jacket liner & gloves. I also bought the appropriate conversion pieces to plug either of them in to the Powerlet accessory outlet on my new Bonnie. I think I'll give the Widder stuff a ride today. I also think I should change the accessory fuse from 10A to 15A before trying the Gerbing gear (which draws more power).

Pauljo, not trying to dampen your enthusiasm, but in general it's not a good idea to replace fuses with fuses of a higher capacity, e.g. 15a in place of 10a.

Congratulations on getting a nice bike!

Pauljo, what color is your T100 and what accessories did you include? Congrats on the purchase. You won't be disappointed.

In general, I know you are right. The Gerbing gear does draw a lot more peak watts then the Widder stuff (104W vs 55W). Gerbing's native battery hookup has a 15A inline fuse. Widder's has a 10A fuse. That's why I'm thinking I'd like to change that accessory fuse to 15A. The Gerbing Jacket liner & gloves are a lot warmer than the Widder vest & gloves, and I'd like to use them with the Bonnie. I could wire the native Gerbing harness direct to the battery of course, but since I paid for the neat Triumph accessory outlet, I'd rather not.

I bought the Widder stuff to use with my scooter, which only has a 180W (at 5500 rpm) charging system.
