Texas94fs-san, I also thank you very much for your kind comments as always!

TriumphLance-san, Thank you, and I will keep in touch with the pictures I like.

Just to say hello again from Japan!

Dear Motley-san, Thank you for your suggestion! I have just started to think about any possible ways to improve the looks, perhaps using the caps to replace the original rubber parts as you suggested. I will let you know if I could come up with any solution. Thank you again!

Dear Motley-san, Yes, indeed I agree with you on your point of those exposed bolt heads, since this rear set intends for its use with the original signal lights in which those bolt heads are covered by rubber parts. On the other hand, I like those Lucas-style signal lights instead of the...

Just to share this picture of my newly attached tail light kit produced by Canyon Racer, in combination with Lucas-stye signal lights, on my Bonneville.

It has been for a while since my last message, and I just say hello to all from Japan!

Thank you all for sharing funtastic photos! D9-san: it would be very interesting to ride Bonneville on the circuit. It must be fun! TriumphLance-san: I would love to try Speedmaster, the British American-style twin, sometimes. I assume the riding feeling should be very different from Bonneville...

Holty-san, WOW!!! Excellent piece of work! Thank you for sharing the pict.

What is yours?

bonZa-san, thanks!!! I am glad to know that your have a good memory about past staying in Japan. I would also like to visit Australia some days and have some times on the road perhaps with renting a motorcycle.

Thank you all for the kind responses! bluesforchallah-san and TriumphLance-san: Yes, indeed "The early birds gets the worm!". Texas94fs-san: We do have nearly 100F (35 degree C) during daytime in Japan. Motley-san: The road is relatively new, running through the countryside in Shizuoka, Japan...

After the rainy season, this year’s summer has already arrived in Japan. In these days, it has been very HOT during daytime, and the best times for Bonneville riding is either early morning or after dark. Waking up early in Sunday morning, it was indeed just a great times to feel a lot of...

D9-san, thank you! These pictures were taken in the last 5 years of my motorcycle life, and I hope that the number will be increased in the next 5 years.

beemerrich-san, arigatou-gozaimasu! (Thank you!). I think Bonneville is very photogenic motorcycle especially in ordinary scenes in Japan. At the same time, I would love to see Bonneville in Michigan of the United States!

kottomack-san, strokerlmt-san, Texas94fs-san, and Motley-san, Thank you all! Your commments encourage me greatly to update the website. But I should say that the website is in a very preliminary/premature stage, and please allow me to have some times for any significant progress. Thank you again!

TriumphLance-san, YellowThruxgirl-san, and keltoi-san, Thanks! I will let you know when there is any progress on the website,

This is to announce that my new website, Book of my Journey with Bonneville, has been open to public. The site is something to do with my Bonneville life such as riding photos, Bonnevillee modifications, and garage life. Please fell free to stop by when you have a time. Although the web site is...

Thank you all! Now, the rain clouds has covered the Japanese islands this week. It is the good time to spend in the garage...

In Japan, it is in the middle of the rainy season now. On this day, it was a rainy day in the morning, but it was a pleasant weather in the afternoon. So, I took my Bonneville out of the garage to enjoy a few hours ride. By the time I came back to my home, there was sunset colors in the sky. It...

Motley-san, Yes. I agree. The overall looks is always important, as well as the functions, especially when using the third-party custom parts.

Motley-san, Yes, indeed. Rising the handlbar by 1 inch provides tank clearance at more than sufficient degrees. I guess the additional 1/2 inch may be just sufficient. So, using a spacer with various heights (that is to be placed under the handlebar mounts) should be able to obtain more precise...

This is the another follow-up thread to the previous post. I ordered Handlebar Risers from Motone Customs on Ebay, and one week after I ordered, the small package has arrived here in Japan from England. As you can see, there are high-quality products with silver colors that should be well...

Motley-san, Thank you for your kind advise, and I agree with you on that the cutting the bar ends may not be the good solution and should be considered as the very last thing to do. As you suggested, using a spacer ring is the first thing to do if I stick to the off-set posts.
