Merry Early Christmas to me!!!! 2008 t-100!

Update: Heres a few pics!

I Just got back from nice 8hr round trip to pick up my new 2008 Bonneville
T-100!!!!!

I Couldn't get the dealers around here to budge from $8800. I found a 2008 300 miles from my house in the color I want for $7900!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SCORE!!!!!

Im So glad to finally get it. Maybe I can get a 50 deg day to buzz around on it!! Its the Green and Ivory paint scheme.


First up.........I Need some Pipes! It Sounds Like a Singer Sewin' machine!

I Hope to be around here more often!

Pics!

Congratulations! Nice color scheme, good price. Let us know where you are and post a picture or two. You're going to have a lot of fun with it.

Welcome to the club. I hope you get some good rides in soon.
Head on over to the Exhaust sticky, where you'll find all the choices you can handle. Many of them with a video sound bite as well.
You might as well pull the AI out & re-jet your carby's while you're at it. It's the very next thing you're going to want to do anyway.
& changing the suspension for progressive rate springs will really bring the best out of your Bonnie too.

Enjoy!

YAHOOO!!!! I can feel your exicitment from here
sounds like a great score and, yes the pipes have to go.
I took the TOR's off my dealers bike because no way was I taking my bike
with the pathetic sounding or should I say lack of sound stock pipes on it.
Congrats and good luck with it.
Bill

Mainly because the bikes in a Walkout Basement and I'll have to ride it up the hill. That'll be fun on frozen grass! YEE HAW!!!!


I Ordered the AI Kit for it and I think My Neighbor is giving me is Dunstall's that he had on his CB He's packed them to the gills. I Cant get too loud. I Have to ride it to work at 4am
