This is my 2007 Bonnie Black:
Black powder coated badges, black flanders low cafe bars, black bar end mirrors converted to handlebar style, ARK, 128/42 jets, center stand, front headlight cowl, rear seat cowl, contemporary seat, Scrambler solo seat (for long hauls), Wassel exhaust and hand pinstriped (by me). I think that's everything.
Some pics of my entry, incarnation 3:

From the front:
Last year my wife told me that she wanted to start riding. At the time I was riding a 2005 ST. I went to my dealer and told them that Mrs. Cal was going to ride and to start putting their feelers out for an 07+ Bonneville. The thing is this, in Canada used Bonnevilles are impossible to find, period. The dealer has never had a used Bonneville come through. The day I asked them they aid that they were working with a guy who was trading one in. My timing was a miracle. I told them what I wanted to pay and said that if the trade went through that I would buy it.
Fast forward a few days. My wife is out mtn biking and has a terrible spill. She is black and blue all over and looks like a truck hit her. Luckily all surface bruising and nothin broken. She is completely put off of riding. The dealer calls and says the bike is in. I had already given my word so I went up and bought it. Not all bad having an 07 Bonnie and a 05 Sprint in the garage.
I start riding the Bonnie exclusively and the Sprint sits. I think to myself I will try and sell the Sprint at the end of the season. If it sells the fine if not then fine as well. I advertised it and in 24 hours it sold. Let the modding of the Bonnie begin. I have been working and tweaking the Bonnie since last August and it has taken on three incarnations but the third is the final.

Incarnation 2:
So two weeks ago Mrs. Cal called me from work and enrolled in the Motorcycle course to get her liscence. I told her hands off my Bonnie and so the search begins for a good bike for her.
