    Hi all,

    If everything goes to plan tomorrow I should be picking up a Bonneville T120 2016 (quite the change from my CBR650R), from what I can tell I'm getting it at a pretty decent price. 9300 miles, never ridden in rain (and the condition backs that), highest mileage year was 1,300. Engine guard, backrest and leather panniers, perfect MOT history. £6600.

    What changes / mods would you lot recommend I'll probably start with an X-Pipe, Cruise Control and maybe removing the snorkel.

    Regarding the Cruise Control, can I enable it in the ECU with a bluetooth OBD + TuneECU or does it have to be done by main dealer?

    Cheers,

    Thank you for the welcome all!

    All went well picked it up for 200 less than asking which is always nice, here it is!

    Already started doing some mods, new ASV brake and clutch lever, bar end mirrors on their way, wrapped the downpipes, radiator guard. I think next is the indicators, tail tidy and new exhaust tips.[​IMG]
