Speaking of twin Bonnevilles.... I just had to share....

nice bikes! they look like they would be awesome on a trip! My white one looked very similar to yours when I first got it =)

Any plans to powder coat the rear wheel to match?

I purposefully wanted it different colors, I'm getting a 2-1 left exit exhaust in soon so you would be able to see the green sprocket hub better on the rear.

Gotcha, I didn't see the hub until you mentioned it.

The suspension also raised the bike quite a bit, so now I need to swap to the longer kickstand from the black bike.

Use a Thruxton stand - they are longer than the Bonnie stands

yup that's what I ended up doing. The problem was the SE side rail which is different than a thruxton or t100 rail, so the thruxton stand didn't fit. So I had to switch the rail also.

my friend took some rolling shots of me riding, thought it came out pretty well

 

[ClassicVW]

Very nice. I like the night look of you and the bike. I would like to see those shots repeated with a more 'urban street look' with storefronts or cafés in the background and then it would be more interesting.

I see some serious shock upgrades!

thanks! Yea the location wasn't the most Ideal, would love to try to do it again in a better setting one of these days

wanted to try something more different for the black bike, and saw a cool bike on instagram with a rectangle headlight, so got the ideal to order one of these 5x7 truck lights as a replacement headlight. Turns out no one makes a headlight bucket in this shape for the bike! (Marketing opportunity anyone?) I ordered a bunch of different lights to try out and finally just got the inner bezel and drilled some holes on the side of the bucket to mount it. Its not ideal but will have to do for now.

Also some lady pulled out on front of me a few weeks ago and forced me to dump the bike, luckily its low speed but my almost immaculate tors got scuffed. I bit the bullet and ordered the weslake exhaust from that website in australia and had it shipped over. Man is this thing LOUD. I might try to fit a custom can at the end with a baffle to help out the sound a bit. Its running like crap right now because I still need to rejet the carbs but will get that taken care of soon. Also noticed my rear wheel alignment is majorly off! When I lifted the bike to lube the chain I noticed it wasnt spinning freely, looked closer and the wheel is tilted to one side like it has camber in a car! I'm hoping its a easy fix, will probably throw the TT wheel and 190 tire back on the rear at this point.

I have to ask...what do you do for a living? Seems like time and $ are no object to you! Must be nice!

I have to admit I did go a little overboard with the white bike, for the black bike I did most of it myself on a pretty good budget and a lot of time spend on ebay :grin2: I'm a freelance cg artist if it matters.

 

[Sean Patrick]

Okay, that black Bonneville is awesome! It looks like an urban assault motorcycle. Sweet!

Nice thread. I’ll follow! Where did you get those “one piece”-rims from?

Ah, so the bikes are renderings? Must save a few $$[emoji12]

Looks like gsxr wheels. Custom spacer for the rear?

That seat's making your ass look big. Kidding...something a girl would say.

Great job.

I got the solid wheels from Adrian from Canyon Motorcycles

The rear is a CBR f3 wheel, it works pretty good except its not centered to the chassis, which I heard is actually not too big of a deal for daily riding.

My ass IS pretty big :rofl working on that uh "weight reduction" .... kind of

 

[sonicboom]

Believe it or not some bikes come fro the factory with the rear wheel off center, so no big deal on that issue at all.
