Can't find many bikes that are for sale with 44k miles so I'm struggling to find a starting price I should sell at. 2008 Bonneville black. Has preadator pipes, airbox pulled with pods, m-bars, rear sets, lane splitter mirrors, garage kept. What do you all think? Also in NYC.

Hello, I'm having some electrical issues that seems to be plaguing me for the past few seasons. Last year I took a ride from NYC to Vermont. I stopped in Mass on the way home and left my light on while getting breakfast for about 30 minutes. When I tried to start her back up, I couldn't crank...

Battery is charged, lights are on, try to fire her up and everything goes dead! Doesn't even attempt to turn over. Any thoughts?

I went for a long ride to VT this weekend. Everything was peachy until my last gas stop. I tried to start the bike and the starter clicked and the tack just spun. I was able to jump start it. When I returned home (Brooklyn NY) I was able to start it a few times and then it started to click...

For some reason my brake light is sticking. I pull in the front or the rear and the brake light will go off for a second but then come back on again. Anyone have any ideas? I tried my lucas tail light and I tried the stock one with the same results.

Odd request but does anyone know how to disable the rear running lights for the newbonneville Lucas Running lights?

Hello, My bike won't start after just one month of sitting idle. The steps that I've taken so far are as follows: 1. Replaced the spark plugs 2. Replaced the battery (was over 5 years old) 3. Drained the floats. 4. Tried to push start but nothing Anyone have any more suggestions before...

Hello, I'm looking for people that like to explore medium to challenging weekend rides in the North East (NY, NJ, PA, MA, CT, VT). Most of my riding friends have either sold their bikes or live in the DC area. So I'm just looking for laid back riders that are interested in collaborating on...

I've recently installed the British Customs Predator performance upgrade kit. Bike runs great but when I initially start the bike up with the choke out it revs for about 10 seconds then starts to bog down a little. I normally have to give it some throttle to get it up to 2,000 RPM's for a...

Anyone have any suggestions on where to buy or brand? I've seen a few brands out there but in a large size that would be a waste. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I've noticed that my front brakes squeek a little. I still have a decent amount of pad left and filled up with brake fluid. I've read the disk can be slightly warped but it doesn't sound like the sound is consistent with say a warped disk. Any one have any insight on how to get the squeeking...

I had a scary experience on Easter heading from NYC to South NJ on the NJ Turnpike. It was a swirling breeze and humid and going about 60+ on my bonne and it was bogging down big time. To the point where I thought it was going to stall but it kept struggling through the ride as 18 wheelers...

Does anyone have any clue what is going on with the new plates? I just paid $42 and change and there's no mention of new plates but it says in small type, for new plates. Any idea when we are getting them or if I should wait to put on my 11 sticker on my current plate? NY State is broke as an...

I'm a newbie to wrenching and just pulled my airbox and added predator pipes. I've gone on about 3 rides so far one a few hundred miles. Tonight I decided to take a zip around the city. WHen I got back I noticed there was some liquid that looked like it leaked out of the camshaft covers...

Ok this is going to sound silly but I'm about to mod to predator pipes this weekend and after looking at diagrams I can't tell what kind of tool is being used to adjust the fuel air mixture. Is this a special tool or is this just a standard screw? I can't seem to find any answers on this but...

Hello, Not meaning for this to be a sale or anything but genuinely interested in the value of used TOR's. I'm upgrading to Predator pipes and selling my TOR's. I can not find pricing for TOR's for the bonneville. Any help in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. And of course if...

How many miles are these new bonnevilles expected to reach before death clock strikes? That is assuming of course you're changing the oil every 3,000 and maintaining.

This one is for the iPhone users out there. At the moment I just use Google maps when I find myself lost but it would be great to have the ability to create a route have bluetooth voice commands for directions. (I can't imagine staring at a screen and trying to take on twisties at the same...

I noticed lately that at high speeds I hear a whistle sound from my bike. The throttle does not seem to increase or decrease the sound so I'm hard pressed to say it's something with the engine but I am a little alarmed. Bike sounds perfectly fine when in neutral and hi revs. I know this is...

Hello, Dumb question but needs to be answered. I see a lot of users have done mods to their carb bonnes in california. What's the deal immissions? I'm a New Yorker and I'm considering moving out to California but even as is my bike would not be legal out there. I now want to strip the airbox...

I apologize if this topic has been hammered on but I can't seem to find anything in regards to unreliability once removed. Does anyone have any bad experiences after removing the airbox? My plan is to do the airbox removal and add predators. At the moment I have off road pipes. With that...

This Mobile 1 racing oil is very confusing. I believe my deal put in Mobil 1 Racin 15W-50 the past two times I had my oil changed. I'm not willing and wanting to change my oil myself. Hard part is finding the oil. I found this site but not sure this is the exact oil I need. Can anyone...

Hello, I'm new to the forum so I apologize if this is repeating a topic already mentioned in the past. I have been doing quite a bit of research on after market pipes and I'm starting to get exhausted (no pun intended). I have an 08' Bonne Black carb model. Right now I have off road pipes...
