    Hi I'm from South Wales and just bought my first bike a 2012 bonneville america 865. Haven't stopped smiling yet. The only thing I would like to change is the exhaust (it does sound like a sewing machine). Any suggestions and links much appreciated. Stu.

    Hi and welcome...

    I had the Arrows 2-1 on my Thruxton 900 EFI. Sounded quite good, especially when you 'cleaned them up'
    ;)
    But since this really is a matter of personal taste and Youtube does not provide the best soundtracks, I'd personally go to some biker meet-ups and check the different sounds out live.
    Some dealers may also provide you with a little soundcheck.

    Cheers, Daniel
