As mentioned in an earlier post, I've got Progressive Front Springs on order to help cure the Bonnie's dive characteristics under braking. From the feedback so far, I expect to be well pleased.

Also ordered TORS. Looking for a better tone than stock, but not for LOUD. Part of owning a British vertical twin, at least for me, is having it sound like a British vertical twin! :wink:

Cheers,

JC

If you want it to sound like the original British custom check out other exhaust options than TORS.

Go to the British Customs web site and listen to the Predators.

I have the Predators and they are awesome! Call BC and ask for Sean - he's a good man.

Thanks, guys.

Actually I've heard the Predators. Very nice sound, but a bit louder than I'm looking for...

Also liked the D&Ds a lot, but again too loud for me.

Cheers!

JC

I agree JC, TORs are for quality of sound, not quantity. That will be my next major expenditure.
