Finished Spending Money (i Think)

After buying my Bonneville in June this year a short period after that I went in for surgery so have been unable to ride it due to recovery etc. With that in mind I had plenty of time to sit on eBay etc to look for bits and bobs. As I was recovering I was lucky to have the help of my cousin (Rudeboy) who is a wiz kid with a spanner.

Over all I'm done with the spending, anything else will have to be made, the seat bolts were made from a couple of spent.303 cases with some M6 threaded bar Epoxied in. The keener eye will notice one of the bar end mirrors is missing, this is with my brother-in-law who is an engineer, he is customising the mirror to give me a better view as I can see too much of my forearm and not enough of the road behind, I guess a diet might help

 

That's a nice bike mate but if I were you I might want to spend a bit of money on it

 

Shes looking proper nice now I wonder who bodged they tank pads on

 

With a good roughing up with production paper pad and tank surfaces swabbed with some alcohol wipes and strips of well strong double sided tape neatly butted up joints put on pad then trimmed around joint effort that tape is damn good from screwfix sticks like shyte to a blanket

 

You might want to wash the number plate before going for a ride - looks like it's got some mould or similar furry gunge all over it...

 

Fair shout I typed that without even reading Andys previous stuff I aint even a mind reader it works though dont think they coming off in a hurry best to remind all readers and members that Screwfix is not a dating agency

 

WHAT????? Oh bugger!

 

At least he's an optimist " Finished Spending Money "

 

I fear hes only just started theres the front screen,panniers,intercom and satnav thats just for starters

 

I have mate, she'd kill me if I spent another penny however forgiveness is easier to obtain than permission so there could be another few things that could be on the cards

Good job she don't read this Nick

 

I reckon shes blaming me already bad influence

 

And the same for yours mate

 

Yeah it gives them something to chat about though I figured

 

I like the cartridge case idea, looks pretty smart I'm in a similar position at the mo, stuck at home with an knackered wrist so I can't work and I can't ride so I'm messing about with my bike too - only trouble is I have very limited funds so it's mainly being done with whatever I can find in my shed lol!

 

Needs a TTP tune
I happen to have the TTP OBD-2 USB Cable you need

 

That’s how the cartridge case idea came about, seat bolts are £19.00 and to be fair that a lump of cash I thought was a waste of money. I had the M6 threaded bar, cartridge cases were easy come by so I Epoxied the bar into the case. I deliberately chose .303 because as far as I’m concerned it’s a British round so belongs on the Triumph lol

 

I'm quite lucky there as I served a toolmaking apprenticeship so I'm fairly experienced in metalwork-the wife's not so lucky though as I'm hopeless at decorating and woodwork so I can't do much around the house lol!

 

You've never finished spending money on a Bonneville!

 

Hi Dont suppose the maps are available anywhere like tune ecu ones are they or is it a case of send the brain to them
