Updated pics with new mods, Triumph fork gaiters and 2nd hand very cheap classic seat, Burton DS 003 with gold triumph lettering on the back, very happy.

Here are some updated pics as my 05 bonnie now has twin clocks, sump guard, centre stand, a Lucas style rear light, plus short bullet indicators and the ignition relocated . Before pics on page 69

Dresser rail has since been removed to fit new Lucas style rear light, plus indicators and ignition relocation bracket. She looks much better for it.

Hi rbirkey, i think the harness is made by Motone as in the picture above, but no branding on the light, I know they got the indicators from the USA as they were waiting for a delivery when I ordered it, may all be from New Bonneville.

I didn’t order smoked lenses on the light kit, but I did like the look of them, they were happy to exchange them for the amber ones that I ordered, I have returned the smoked ones. I forgot to mention my clocks now have blue led bulbs, after one blew in my speedo. Updated photos. .

Here are the photos of the mods done this week. But will change the smoked amber lenses for amber, not bright enough.

Hi, did you have the same problems with the wiring colours for the light, I asked a neighbour who worked for VW motors and he checked it out with a meter, fault was mine Doh, the rear indicator earth wire was black, but the earth on the harness was not the black wires, it was the black with a...

Hi rbirkey, Many thanks for your reply. I spoke to a guy at lings about the issue and he said to take some pics of the threads and he will check if there is a problem with the bolts or threads. When I saw the close-up, well-lit pictures, it was obviously a rust problem. The holes are open to...

Hi all, I bought the dresser rail as they are now reduced to £19.80 + post.. well cheap, so I went straight out to the garage to fit it, i removed the rear mudguard as instucted, they supply 8 x M8 20 bolts with the package, used 4 to secure the back of the rail, the front fittings line up with...

I bought a second hand pair of heritage ones on eBay from an early triumph America or speedmaster, they screw straight on and I got them for £18 ... Result.

Hi, I had 2 broken and 1 cracked spoke on the rear wheele of my 05 Bonneville when I got it second hand ,my local Yamaha dealer had a guy that they ring up who re spokes wheels and he changed them for me, and luckily I’ve had no trouble since, but as already mentioned it was common on the rear...

Thanks guys, I didn't realise how many problems could arise with an intermittent faulty coil, Need to ride her more before celebrating too much but weather has turned cold and wet for a while so will go out next week.
