Well for the sake of organizing all the great stuff going on, I think it's time.

I'll start!

What flyscreen are you going with? I believe the 'Short Dark-Tinted Flyscreen' is the same part # for the entire New Bonneville line. (All with a different specific 'Mounting Kit' though.)

I have the Matte Black 'Short Flyscreen' with the Thruxton Mounting Kit. I double checked like a million times to make sure the Short Screens had the same part #'s for each bike. I'll re-check tomorrow when I wake up I guess.

Ps... The knee-pads & billet front brake reservoir look really good on that bike.

Geeze, those Bonnie-Blacks look so good guys. Congratulations.

I just got my water-Bonnie home.. Wow... What I did to it today?

Added:

Matte-black 'Short' flyscreen.
Brushed "ribbed" ACG & Clutch badges.
Black head-bolt covers.
LED 'short' blinkers front & back.
Black Air-Intake covers. (I think the guys with T-120 Blacks might want to check those out... Nice.)
Black oil filler cap.
Knee-Pads.
Black head-lamp bezel (Off the T-120 Blacks... Bolts right on, and look awesome.)
Took the 8 million warning stickers off.
Unbolted all 3 rear reflectors.
Pried off the front fork reflectors. Took years to get the leftover sicker residue off. I actually started crying. But it was worth it.

These bikes rule... Period.

Here is a real quick video so people can see what some of the Triumoh accessories look like actually on the bike. I know it's short, but it was just about to rain. I know, I suck at life. I didn't upload actual pictures since this site only allows very low resolution pictures to be uploaded. Anyways, hope you like, and this was somewhat informative. Any questions, just ask. Cheers.

You're right. They are not. I typed the part number on eBay, like 3 or 4 months ago, and they came up for sale, from a Triumph dealer in the UK... They were the same price as here. And an additional $20 (roughly) for the shipping. And they took almost 3 weeks to get here. I guess because of US customs.

Having a hell of a time finding a spot to mount my Ram on the R. M6 bolts, nothing to clamp to. There is a small spot on the left handlebar I am going to try a Ubolt clamp, might have to shimmy the lever over a tiny bit.

Got my racks powder coated black and I have to say it really helps blend in these versus how they stuck out in chrome.

If you need powder coat work, you got to check out John Melniczuk. He also is involve in coordinating the Triumph National Rally.

@innominate ... Yup! Just unscrew the two hex-bolts on the bottom of the headlamp bucket. (On the bottom, but one on each side, of the bottom.)

Then, pull the headlamp bezel out, from the bottom, since there is a 'lip' on the top, on the inside that you can't see. Just pull the bezel out, it will detach.

Then, unclip the headlamp harness and the LED headlamp harness, and place the light to the side.

Then, use a torx/star key to remove the two black bolts on each side of the black plastic ledge that you have to pull down to get to the blinker wire harness.

Then, unclip the right blinker wires, then unbolt the giant ugly stock blinker, and smash it with a hammer.

Bolt the new blinker on, and feed the wires back the way the old ones were, and clip them in... Then do the same for the left side. (This way you don't mix the sides up.)

Then, set the computer in the gauges to 'type-2', so they don't blink fast. And you're done!
