I never bother with it, and I'm not even sure where the key is anymore. Steering locks are too easily defeated. Get a disk lock for out AND a ground anchor for home.

Yes. Heads are the same.

Almost 56, learned to ride at 15 illegally, got my first bike at 19.

I have an older model, but the Dart Flyscreen works well, looks good, and isn't expensive. I'm sure they have a model that fits the newer line.

I put Flanders Clubman bars on, I love them. You do need to be careful on setup because they are low enough that in some configurations the controls can hit (and dent) the tank. My profile pic shows them.

I see those guys like once a year, but I follow Peter on FB. He was badly injured in a crash a couple of years ago, and has been focusing on other areas and projects.

I bought a friction-style damper from Farley and Ace (in Pittston, PA), but I don't think the owner is making parts anymore.

NewBonneville, actually!

I think they are a nice addition to the look.

I bought an OEM stand on ebay, I am SO glad I did, and install was easy.

I'm finishing up my model #2 keyless ignition, and need a key switch connector for a Bonneville.

Fezzes are cool! My pics were just after Trish, the owner (with her husband Radar) of Valor Tattoo in Trevose PA, finished. I go the same way; give the artist the basic idea and maybe some examples, then let them do their thing.

The idea that you need more than the 865 to carry a passenger is ridiculous. Heck, I did a two-up trip from Philadelphia PA to Bangor Maine on a CB550 back in the '80s. About the only thing you may want to do, and you probably want to anyway, is upgrade the rear suspension, stock is pretty...

To be honest, having watched my local go through this successfully, It seems a bit one-sided. But yes, it can be expensive. So I'll ask you all; do you support your dealer? Do you get service done there, buy accessories and maintenance items (oil, etc) there? Or do they only see you when it is...
