Its taken a while to join this site due to some email issues but I'm finally here. I work in IT and live near Brighton in the UK, and would describe myself as a songwriter, Pilot, Petrolhead, Scrapheap Challenge Captain & founder of www.TheAstonClub.com I've owned 46 cars, 6 motorbikes, 3 Aircraft and a boat. Having owned a few Ducati's and a Fireblade in the past I wanted something a bit more sedate now I'm in my 50's hence the Bonnie. I brought my bonnie a few months ago with the aim to have something old (its documented by Triumph as the 4th Bonnie to come off the production like at hinckley) that looked like a classic 60's bike but had better reliability and rode with the performance of a more modern bike. The main changes I've made are: Added Rev counter from later models (keeping the original speedo in place) Removed the secondary Air injection system. Uprated and balanced the carbs with 41 pilot jets set to 3 and 128 main jets. Fitted Thruxton Carb needles with a .5mm shim to give more mid-range. Removed the baffle & snorkel from the airbox Fitted a K&N Air Filter Fitted an hi flow bellmouth Upgraded the exhaust to a pair of Norman Hyde Togas with the mutes removed. Fitted larger (110 & 150) A40 Adventure tyres Upgraded the brakes to EBC HH slintered steel. Change the gearing ratios with a 19t sprocket for higher top speed and a more relaxed cruise. Changed the seat to a British classic two-tone. Fitted original knee pads from a 1968 bike Changed to smaller bar-end mirrors Fitted fork gaiters. Added a chrome chain guard Fitted smaller indicators Added a 1967 Tax disc with period holder Upgraded the warning lights to brighter LEDs. Fitted a Quad-lock wireless charger with a dampener. and finally, assigned my private reg with a black pressed number plate on the rear and a front plate to complete the early 60's look. It rides very well, and keeps up with my nephews Ducati 696.
