Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums Custom Corner 2002 TBA - reborn

I just snapped about 20 pics of the TBA post winter project effort... I have decided to sell her... in SW Michigan...

Pics are posted at "www.thevmc.com" under the photo gallery, my handle, "gbman" album is "2002 Triumph Bonneville"...

The Bonny is not 100% done but real real close. If I were to keep it I would add a windshield, get it jetted, and move the front rotor to the EBC floater...

I will admit that it is a fun bike, rides great for being so light and it has great ergnomics for strtching out... All a pleasant surprise to me...

Thanks for the help here on the forums...

Nice looking bike, what colour have you painted her..

Nicely done Gary!
What are those bags on your Kingpin? They look good!
That was some nasty hit your wrecked KP took. I'm guessing you're a very lucky man.

Paint is Chrysler Prowler Pearl Orange It's an orange - bronze color and really works well with the silver and black.

Bags on the pin are Hardstreets. I used the pro builders kit. They are very nice for the price.. way bigger then the previous sets...

and the other pin that I totaled, I t-boned a car that pulled a left hand turn across my lane. I hobbled away so yes, I was lucky. The Pin total hurt more then the KZ750 I totaled in '83... That one was way uglier and I had more torn flesh but no bruised ribs. I bent the pin bars all the way forward as I was launched and bruised ribs hurt..

Back to the TBA, I wanted something that was different yet held the classic Triumph look and wasn't too far out there...

I'll be looking for my next winter project soon enough..
Drives mama nuts...
