Good job with the Bonnie mate.

BTW, the America isn't too shabby either!

I keep changing things on my bike so there will never be a after shot.

I know the picture sucks. I'll have to get some better ones.

Just some $20 'universals' from Ebay. They come with 8/10mm threads so you need a set of mirror converters (I got them from newbonneville.com), but running the cables through the bars, and moving the speedo to the dash, really cleans up the front end and makes the small things more noticeable.

Thanks. I wish I was a better photographer, because the lines of the late model tank really work on a bar hopper style bike.



Just need to look out for some non-chromed engine covers for the old school look.

Very nice!! Is the fender from Maverick?

Looks like we're neighbors too... I grew up in Hingham and live in South Weymouth.

Here was my effort! Lowered with black Hagon 2810 and Progressive lowering springs, Thunderbird Headlight, Lowered Speedo, Rear Peg Hangers, Switchblade Foot Pegs, Cocktail Shakers, Leather Low Profile Seat, Lowered mirrors, Deuce Risers and Speedy Bars, 120 front tire, raised front fender to accommodate, Zman Laydown Plate, Low profile bullet LED signals front and rear, fork gaiters.Avon grips. Object was to visually make the bike look lower than it was and keep it low without sacrificing ride, mission accomplished.
