    Hi all
    Looking to get my first Bonnie very soon :)
    budget dictates what i can get so probably a 10 yr old t100 (865) Cast wheels as i struggle to maintain the spokes on other bikes i have had .
    Any pointers and advice on pitfalls or positives welcome

    thanks for the use of the Forum i hope we will have many years of fun

    cheers

    Hi Neil,
    Welcome.

    So you in Hunslet?

    sorted a few things now
    it has a set of pipes from tec i got 2nd hand of ebay they were pretty scratched up but i polished the worst out and then brushed them to a nice finish.
    had to remove centre stand as it clangs against the exhaust (working on a solution)
    Fitted the 02 sensor eliminator kit from MC Connectors
    fitted the air injection intake removal kit from smart moto as seen here

    this stops all the popping etc

    Looking to remove the rear rack but cant find any guides on this had a go but ran out of daylight
    it seems even with the shocks removed it has a fastner behind the mudguard, any knowledge would be greatly appreciated.

    The results of all this are fabulous
    it sounds like it should and seems to go a bit better with the air injection removed to boot
