Hey guys, what year did the Thrux go from clip ons to bars? I'm in the market for a Thruxton and think that the bars would be more comfortable for me. Thanks, Wolfie

Well, a year and a half after I sold my Bonnie Black I think I am back in the market for another Trumpet. A Thruxton this time. I bought a Suzuki Bandit immediately after I sold the Bonneville. It was everything the Bonneville wasn't. It was stupid powerful. It was dead reliable. No...

I bought this guy a couple of years back, and I still use it though I check to make sure that it is mounted securely often after "the incident". The loobman is simple in premise. It's a little squeeze bottle mounted to the frame, a hose, and a bracket made of stiff wire with a simple oil...

So, I bought this rack with the hope of mounting my trunk to it. I bought this rack from Newbonneville.com. When it arrived, there was a very noticeable flaw in the chrome, and I sent it back. Newbonneville was excellent to deal with on this, and I can't say enough good about them. When...

The wife drives about 25 minutes every day to work on a twisty two-lane highway. The other day she says, "I think that my commute would be a lot more enjoyable on a motorcycle. There was no time to lose. So I bought an 05 Ninja 250 off of Craigslist. I've spent several...

Her she is in all her glory! I keed. I keed. I'm trading shocks with Northcountry, and I needed a way to keep the bike upright while I wait for the new ones.

Proficient Motorcycling by David L. Hough is a must read. If you haven't read it yet, do so ASAP. It not only teaches how to ride, and why a motorcycle behaves as it does, it also teaches habits and practices that reduce your odds of becoming another statistic. For all the countless...

Angry Motorcyclist flips of RV driver, pulls in front of him, and slams on brakes. http://www.fox5sandiego.com/news/kswb-biker-rage,0,6272692.story

Is the Norman Hyde steering damper reversible, as in can it be mounted on the left as well as the right? All the pictures I see of it are mounted on the right, and I like the looks of the NH the best of the available dampers. I still have fantasies of mounting a sidecar someday however...

Hey, do any of you KC blokes happen to have set of stock rear shocks laying around? I've developed a bit of a high speed wobble hear of late, and I'd like to rule out my rear suspension as a culprit. I'm looking to borrow, unless it fixes it in which case I may buy. Thanks.

Alright Geniuses, Apply your mighty collective knowledge and help me figure this one out. Some of you may have been following this thread: http://newbonnevilleriders.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3924 wherein I've outlined some recent issues I've been having with my Bonnie. The...

So my bike started running terrible recently, which means that I trailered my bike 700 miles and didn't get to ride the dragon. It turns out that my Bonnie purchased new in Missouri by me, is a California model, complete with a whole bunch of non-essential hoses and canisters. It also turns...

The wife and I went down to Eureka Springs, AR this last weekend. While down there I spotted a Bonnie Black w/ header wrap and reverse cone silencers. After I parked, I set out to find the owner. I didn't make it a hundred yard, and he came cruising. So, if this is you, the bald headed...

I just bought a set of zrx take offs, and ordered some Progressive front springs. I pulled the trigger on pod filters and jets yesterday as well. I'm looking forward to some twisty fun this summer!

This is a question for those of you who have gone the do it yourself airbox elimination. ie. gone to town on that sucker with a dremel tool or hack saw. Did you use anything to support the carbs? Do you feel that it is necessary to support the carbs with a brace, or do you feel that the...

Anyone here ever done a track day? Any advice? I'm thinking of taking the Bonnie out for a go.

How many of us live near Kansas City? Let's hear from you. I live about half an hour from it. Maybe after the thaw we can meet up.

Just sayin. Oh and if you saw my mom, you wouldn't be bragging. :)

I went to a small bike show several months ago, and took pics of the ones that interested me. Enjoy!

I've searched, and can't find anything so hopefully I'm not asking a redundant question. How does one remove the stick on reflectors from the back fender without damaging the paint? Any special tricks, or should I just grab hold and give her heck.

I want to hear from the guys running 904 kits on this one. What's been your experience with em? Are you happy with the results? Any regrets? More specifically, is there anyone here who has converted an 865 to a 904? Was it worth it? What kind of gains? etc. I'm wondering if the incease...

So, I've been interested in this fairing for some time: And I'm considering mounting a set of superbar handlebars from Brent because they are similar in dimension to some bars I liked on my old Suzuki. Does anybody have any experience with these together? Do they look right and are...

Okay, so a couple of years ago someone over on the forum that we do not speak of had a set of Ohlin piggybacks that he bought used on an auction site. They were cheap as I recall because they were oem for another bike. Can anyone remember what make and model the donor bike was, or who did...
