    Hi gang! Old man, new to the forum. Just got my new Bonnie T120 Black last week and am enjoying riding through the break-in period. I think this is my fifteenth bike and third Triumph. Looking forward to making her mine! IMG_8089.jpeg

    Welcome from NJ! Lots of space in Texas to stay away from congestion, I trust! Enjoy the ride!

    Last week I added a quad lock for my phone and up and over risers for the handlebars. Today I added pannier spacers to the aft end and crash bars to the forward end. Corbin seat coming in a few days. I’m setting her up as a touring bike replacing all my line of adv bikes.

    great stuff, if you are touring I'd highly recommend some better shocks and fork springs.
    You don't have to go top of the line, but it was one of the most worth while upgrades in comfort and handling. I went with Tec progressive fork springs and adjusters and Bitubo shocks (found an insane deal on the Bitubo via eBay) but this forum has loads of recommendations on shocks

    Thanks for your advice. Suspension is on my list for sure. Currently researching options for front and rear. Results TBD.
