You may have sent that I posted that Karen traded her America for a Bonny. Here it is....





Stuff she's (meaning me) already done:
- Installed free King/Queen seat.
- Installed the Chrome (with Union Jack insert) rear brake reservoir cover.
- Installed the shifter dress up kit.
- Installed Chrome Union Jack enrichener (on our bikes its a choke) knob.
- Installed Black Union Jack oil filler cap.

On the to do list:
- Install Ricor Intiminators.
- Install Hagon Nitro rear shocks.
- Install smoked turn signal lenses.
- Install SW Motech engine guards (I did these today, damn nice!).
- Install gel set when it arrives.
- Install ISO grips (I installed the temp black ones until I can get her chrome ones machined to fit with bar end mirrors).
- Install Triumph bar end mirrors when they arrive.
- Install Triumph wind screen when it arrives.
- Install Hepco and Becker C Bow bag mounts and bags when they arrive.
- Order exhaust (probably TPUSA Dominators).

Ive put 25 miles on her bike and I have to say... its a blast. It turns so much faster than our bikes and its just plain fun.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't want one of my own!

As you may have seen in another post my wife just bought a 2001 model. After lowering it a bit she just loves it.Its all about keeping her happy!!!!
I on the other hand found the riding position a bit cramped. I rode it home from Auckland for her (about 100k's) by the time I got home my hips had called it quit's, but then I'm used to the Speedy with my legs out front. We have how ever spent this wet afternoon out in the garage polishing our beauties, and I have to say the Bonnie is a real looker!

I'd much prefer the 360 over our 270 cranks. Nice bike Karen!!

Nice ride Karen, I bet you love it. I rode a similar demo model 6-7 years ago, when the America was in for tyres. Reminded me of the old T-140

I love the look of the America/Speedmaster Keith, but I've often thought the 360deg crank would be great.The Thruxton is supposed to make 69HP. That'd be nice .

That's one very lovely bike, I especially like the gold coach line on the tank.
