New Bike - My First Triumph

[Chicagobob]

An eBay purchase, coming soon from out of state. 2001, 4400 miles. I sold a Kawasaki 650 cafe racer for this:

How is the new (to you) Bonnie? I noticed it was mid-April when the thread began and wonder how things have been going.

Now a little lighter.

But seriously, it's a great bike. Runs very smoothly (after I removed the air injection system), and handles well. In addition to the bobbed fenders, lighter turn signals, Biltwell Tracker bars, Roland Sands seat, and mini speedometer (all of which dropped the bike's weight by 13 lbs), I lowered the front about 3/4". The only problem is a leaky gearshift seal (still waiting for BikeBandit to come through with a new one) and cold starting when the air temp is below about 60F.

The bike came from the eBay seller well-tuned, and with a new battery and tires, so I couldn't have asked for a better deal. Thanks for asking!

That sure is a good-looking Bonneville! Nicely done! Thanks for the update on your bike.
