    Hi all,

    I've just bought a 2013 Bonnie. I used to have a speed triple from new back in 2003, but that is long gone now. Fancied another Triumph I could work on myself, so got a burgundy and white Bonnie, same colours as the one I had in 1979. Very pleased so far, I've put low LSL bars on it, Orberon bar ends, and a TEC Tracker exhaust. Anyway, over to the Bonneville section I guess.

    Cheers

    Welcome to the forum Tony
    I have a 2012 Bonnie myself, well pleased with it after 30 years absence from biking.
    Some good advice and banter to be had.

    Thanks for the replies.
    It is a Tracker, baffle in at the moment. I might cut the baffle down a bit, but don't want it too noisy so may just leave it. I wasn't too keen on the chrome engine cases at first, but am growing to like them. Much better with blacked out bars and mirrors and rough stainless exhaust, offsets the chrome. I also got a TEC black filler cap as the original was sodding useless.
    Different tail light and indicators, plus Hagon shocks with black springs if Santa comes.
    Cheers
