Here is the deal; just in the past few days I have been able to score a spare set of eyebrow badges and an extra airbox (thanks to this forum!) and now I think I am going to step forward and do a modern day TT Bonnie. The '67 TT has always been my favorite Bonnie for several different reasons and I am done waiting to see if Hinckley is going to do an anniversary edition with this model. So I plan on doing my own air box removal and cut up the box myself and might try to incorporate a spot for tool storage in it. Some nice and big cones on it and then a set of specialty spares TT. The problem I am having right now though is if I want to go with the chrome or the black ones. I keep going back and forth, back and forth, back and forth and I still can't make up my damn mind! So I thought I would use this forum and see what you all think. Which ones, the chrome or black pipes, do you think would look better on my creamiscle?
Key Distinction:
I know some of you may not like the TTs but these are the pipes that I am going with. I am fully aware of what they provide and what they don't. Like I said before, this is my favorite Bonnie and I think the TT has a glorious sound which is what I want. So just opinions on which of the TTs.
The Creamsicle as is now:
Chrome TT:
Black TT:
Couple more questions:
Can anyone tell me that might have these pipes now if having a center stand will be an issue with them? I know the '67 TTs couldn't have a center stand because of this issue and was curious if this holds true with these new pipes.
I also would like to get another tank. Does anyone know of a good source for a Hinckley Bonnie carb'd tank? I already have a good painter and will have it done in the Aubergine and white just like the '67 and that is where my spare eyebrow badges come in The rest of the mods will be real minor: buy some chrome mud guards and I'm done. You can't beat these Hinckley Bonnies...for not a whole lot of money, I will have two completely different looking bikes and there really isn't a whole lot of work involved in getting back to the Creamsicle as I have all my stock parts...good fun! Thanks ahead of time for your comments as I am looking forward in reading what you have to say. :snack:
