Excellent photos. Now all you need to do is fill out this form and send it in: http://www.bonnevilleamerica.com/administrative/submit-your-bike/

Can't wait to see it in person next Spring.

I think your bike looks awesome. The front end looks fine too IMO but have you considered a narrower light bar to tighten up the lights a little? Just offering a suggestion to...as you said...clean it up a little...maybe?

Great looking bike, great presentation!

I agree with you, if you don't use a windshield, the stock light bar does look a little odd. I shortened my stock light bar and use it for when I ride without the screen, and I have a stock width light bar for when I have the windshield on. I used 6-pin quick connectors for the wiring and they are under the lower yoke where they are not noticeable. The light bar has to be unbolted to mount the windshield anyway, so I figured why not do it that way. I think I have some pics posted somewhere on here, I won't post them on your thread. I really like the spot lights closer to the head light, just looks clean.

Great pics btw, you have some nice scenery to ride in!

Good ideas, thanks! I have a large windscreen I used for a couple winter months but I like it better w/out so it'll be up for sale as soon as I take a pic and run an ad.

I'll look at a narrower bar or mounting some elsewhere. Maybe I'll start lurking those lighting threads you guys keep threatening...

I did add the eyelids to the other lights.

If I may ask, where did you get the tail light and turn signal assembly?

J&P cycles sells them ...

Wow, what a great opportunity to get a nice ride. I think I would have a hard time parting with it!

Well that's it. Sold. Gone. I'm so gutted. I can't believe how attached to that bike I was. Other than one (of many) guitar, I've never felt that attachment to a non-living thing. I even told the guy that bought it that I felt like I did when taking my dog to the vet to be put to sleep.

I've had back issues and some recent x-rays have shown that I'm not doing myself any favors by riding at all. Trust that I would continue if that was a reasonable choice. I finally got it how I've always wanted and have hardly been able to ride it.

I'll still check in to the site to admire all of your bikes and see what you're up to. After all, I'll miss a few of you!

I made the mistake of telling the stranger I sold the bike to to keep in touch. He's taunted me by texting several times telling how much he enjoys it but how he's not so happy with the attention from old guys. I lied and told him it must be him because me and the rest of you just meet young lovelies.

Has the new owner logged in? Any changes to the bike?
