Post a full shot pic of that Chevy.

I vote the mystery part is a cigar holder.

Nice...I live just down the road from Cambria here in San Luis Obispo (hence, SLOBonnie). I go through there all the time when I hit the twisties on Hwy 1 above Ragged Point.

It's the fifth annual get together of mainly Bonnie/Thrux riders from north, south, east and west of Cambria for a weekend of riding, relaxing, and partying. You can get the details here if you're interested. You can also check out the thread entitled "2007 Cambria Gathering" on the New Triumph Bonneville Forum (NTBF) for the details. Also, check out Clement Salvadori's article about last year's Cambria gathering in the May issue of Rider Magazine. It's pretty sweet.

Cheers, Rich.

You guyzzzzzz.... Okay well after install, I suppose I figured it out. Check it -



And a comparison...



NOW SERIOUSLY... what are you guys doing with this vent? Seems wrong just to have it not filtered or something...



I'll be there for Cambria... thanks for the heads up!

P.S. That ain't no Chevy... it's a FERD! (Comet Caliente Convert)

Interesting piece there. Must be a Thrux only item. My Preds didn't come with that stopper.

This is definitley a vent on mine... ran it plugged, and the bike would not run. Opened, it ran like a champ. Someone's gotta have an answer as it's on all the Cali bikes. Anyone got a minute to look at their Bonnie carbs? This was originally connected to a canister which was part of the smog stuff. I'd hate to find out it's sucking air into the carbs unfiltered.

Even the Euro (French?) Thrux's seem to have it:

(From the Wiki pages)

Just found this on the WIki. Guess I'm not the only one. (from the how to instuctions on AI removal) EVLS

16. Fit one end of the 5/16” hose to the crossover fuel bowl vent tube (this is a plastic tube in
between the carbs at about top center that has a 5/16 fitting in the middle) THIS
FITTING MUST BE VENTED and route this down behind the engine, cut a strip of the
white breather filter material and stuff it inside the tube to keep out debris,
17. Check your fuel tank vent hose (this hose is attached to the frame member behind the
carbs) and see if part of it separated (mine came apart just below the inline filter), if so, a
smaller un-ribbed piece of hose is what you are looking for to reattach; run this hose
downwards as far as it will reach. You may want to replace it with a slightly longer hose.
18. Now reassemble. Don’t forget to reattach the petcock hose and vent hose properly.

On the first try at the above, I plugged the fuel bowl vent tube (see #16) and the result was a
near disaster, as with the fuel floats unvented, the floats never floated and never stopped
flowing gasoline and gasoline was fuming off the headers before I noticed it, as I was trying
to get the bike running. Once the vent was opened up, everything was perfect.
