Been picking up a few bits and getting together the stuff I need to get the Bonnie how I want it. And now I've worked out how to get the Bonnie on the lift, I've made a start on them.
then add the rev counter and relocate the ignition switch to a more useful place. Fairly straight forward although the wiring was a bit tight!
While doing the pipes, a quick look at the exhaust ports would seem to indicate it's running a bit rich !
While doing the downpipes, it seemed like a good time to do the CO2 removal kit. Bung fitted and resistors plugged in.
Got to pick up a spacer for the centre stand tomorrow and a new exhaust clamp as one of the original ones had a stripped thread. But it's getting there.....
One thing I'm not keen on and will change was the bung to cover the old ignition switch hole. It looks like a flipping condom or sommat!
Great mods done most of these myself I think the top fork shrouds look ugly so swapped them out for these and relocated the indicators, around £18 from china and they really do turn up in ten days heres the link https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/35-39-41...eville&hash=item41b3b38c39:g:1b0AAOSwzaJX41rD
Looking good, very interesting to follow, you're right, that bung monstrosity just has to go! Wiring tight? When I shifted the voltage regulator to the frame the wiring was so tight I removed the block connector from inside the headlight shell and rerouted it externally. I ' shrink wrapped ' the block connector in a length of bike inner tube which is a really tight fit and cable tied the ends of the tube to the wiring to be as water tight as possible. Keep posting the pics, really enjoying this one, not sure how much more work you have in the pipeline though? Curly
The previous owner had obviously had something that flapped on the ignition key, there's a mark on the headlight mount on that side, so I was going to look at alternative shrouds. I did get a relocation bracket and a set of smaller front indicators in the box of bits that came with the bike. I'll probably go for some that are black still as, other than the tank, most of the bike is black. I also need to find some rear indicators to match what will be the new front ones.
I ended up having to reroute the clock cables outside the guide bracket and even then they were tight, but it was worth it. I found the headlight mounted ignition a pain on the other half's Bonnie.... I still have a few things to look at and do Fly screen? Tors exhausts and down pipes X Locking fuel cap Single seat & rack X Front Brake upgrade Move AITS Remove O2 sensors X Raise suspension? Move ignition switch X Front hugger Mirror extenders Fork gaiters Brake reservoir Fork bracket relocate front indicators X rear Indicators Throttle body caps A9610534 X King/Queen seat X Seat bolts GB number plate X Triumph pouch X Exhausts gaskets X Centre Stand X Rev counter kit X Rear caliper relocation? Barrel grips I lucked out in one way, a fair few bits were in the Triumph accessory sale, so I was able to get more bits initially
Probably the steering lock key, the shroud on my Thrux was pitted really badly from the constant slapping so relocated the ignition and solved that
They do them in black also very pleased with the quality and fitment of them your bike is coming together nicely
