A great buy. Those cases will clean up and you might even decide to re-lacquer. Any sign of performance mods?
Yes,there’s tor’s silencers,k&n air filter and the air induction or whatever you call it ,has been removed and bunged.
Under £3k seems very good value to me. I also have a silver 07 Bonneville, the cases can be polished up with not too much work. As has already been said World Of Triumph are good for parts information: https://www.worldoftriumph.com/partscatalog/catalog/browse/catalog/triumphmc/modelid/3130/ Also worth checking wemoto.com https://www.wemoto.com/bikes/triumph/bonneville_800_up_to_e_no._211132/01-06 - they are often are cheaper than World Of Triumph, find the part number on the WOT site, then search by part number on wemoto
Thanks for that,very similar except yours has the grey rocker covers and likewise engine base,but mine is black in both cases. If anybody has a suggestion regarding how to achieve that black textured finish,otherwise I’ll get them powder coated.
Mr b I like your tail detail a bit different from the ususal, please let me know what that and the indicators are please?
The tail tidy was from squaredeal-ltd.co.uk, I think it is (or the same as) one of the Motone tail tidies: https://www.squaredeals-ltd.co.uk/t...r-mount-bracket-red-led-stop-tail-32520-p.asp After getting the tail tidy I later decided I preferred a rear mudguard, but not the standard, so I modified the tail tidy to allow me to use a Motone polished mudguard: https://www.motone.co.uk/motorcycle...rear-mudguard-fender-polished-aluminium-p1738 - I have the matching polished front mudguard also. The indicators are the British Customs Bullet turn signals, also from squaredeals: https://www.squaredeals-ltd.co.uk/t...nals-chrome-3-lens-colour-options-28164-p.asp
May be a bit late to the party on this considering you've already bought your Triumph; but either a J or T within the frame number at 'digit' positon 11 of the frame number will denote assembly location. J is for Jacknell Rd ( Hinkley), T is for Thailand.
I expect being a totally different model might be the reason for a new production line/manufacture/location code. My guess would be either Hinckley or Huangshan.
Hi there, I rode the bike back from London yesterday and was surprised at how lively she is,very different to the F800gs,no comparison. Just wanted to know what sort of mileage I should expect before switching to reserve? I’ll check the plugs and have bought a Haynes,but as the bike hasn’t done many miles in the last 8 years,an overhaul of the carbs may be on the cards as there’s something not quite right on tick over and de-acceleration. Other than that,first impressions are good.
This also my experience, I usually fill up every 100 miles, on a long run I have got to 120 miles, and I have very very rarely needed to switch to reserve.
Many thanks for your replies, As always a new machine is a new adventure with different questions to answer.. Best regards, Tom.
Hello, Can anyone tell me if you can put the wider scrambler bars on a bonnie,without any problems with the cables etc. I’m trying to avoid unforeseen consequences,with the view to “creating” more of a rambler than a scrambler.
Ok,thanks HT, My bars are 710mm and I see the scrambler’s are 810 ish so maybe something slightly cut down from the scrambler width might work?
as this thread was originally about where your bonnie was made, I found this on the rat forum, though I am not sure it makes it clear in every case
