Here is a topic I have not seen discussed before :-D

I think the best angle for viewing my Bonnie is from the rear (perhaps its Freudian!). In particular I like the wide splay on the standard silencers.

Well I was at a Triumph meet at the Ace Café on Sunday, and looking round hundreds of other Bonnies, one thing I noticed was that there seems to be fairly wide differences in the splay of the standard silencers - as they got closer together the attractiveness of this view diminished.

I just measured mine at 53cm from the rear outer edge. Can you have a measure of yours and tell me I wasn't imagining this in some wild sexual fantasy :wink:

Yes I did. :-D Shame we didn't get ourselves organised, we could have said hello.
Now just how wide are your silencers?

When I put EMGO's on my Bonnie I began fitting then by loosening all bolts (adaptors and plates) then you can tweak the pipes slightly to lessen the angle.

Is this really one of those cases where size matters?
