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 all I have attempted my first electrical mods on my 05 Bonny, I bought a Motone ignition relocation bracket left side, but then I found out that I had the shorter cable inside my light bucket which doesn’t reach, so I read the post from Chris in NC about dealing with it, and to my suprise I...

Here is a photo of my bonneville with the heritage badges fitted, outside the Ace Cafe London taken a few years ago.

I changed my speedo and tach over to blue led bulbs yesterday after the top bulb died in my speedo, got them from squaredeals uk £9.99 plus post. Hope I don’t have any of these problems. 2005 bonneville Goodwood Green.

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.

Hi since I acquired my 05 Bonneville some years ago it has had a number of re occurring issues, idled like shite with choke on start up but cleared 10 secs later, then rides fine, then some issues with what felt like fuel problems, this happened on many occasions, done carbs myself a few times...

hi, well the bike is now running much better so I got a used set of clocks, lucky for me the speedo only had 200 miles more than my own one so swapped the whole thing over, no need to fit my own one in, job done in about half an hour, very happy with the result.

Hi could it be the stand is sinking into the carpet a bit if it's on a different area than usual , or uneven area under the carpet that you can't see maybe,

Thanks Marty really good advice, can't buy one at the moment as bikes in to get sorted, she started coughing and stuttering so cleaned the jets and checked all cables and leads, filter but seemed to get worse, then battery died so thinking maybe alternator so she's in to get sorted, so saving my...

That's great D9 many thanks Will check out my vin ASAP, Dave

Hi all, I've been tempted to get a set of used twin clocks to replace my single speedo, I remember reading an article which said that from 2004 the electrics on the standard bonneville were compatible with the twin clock models, so you can just plug in and it's done, can't remember where I read...

I use Hiflo filters here in the UK and never had a leak, just get the right one for the year.

Great looking bike and the paint looks great too, well done

well i went ahead and bought a pair of Acton 2 trousers and went for a run today and they are comfortable well made and lighter than the earlier style, as for wet weather none expected but won't be looking to go out in it to test them,so will update when I get caught out. but very happy with...
