    The seat is fine I was just looking ahead to see if there was a car turning right onto one of the side streets, you know how bad it can be

    Enjoy it Indy.
    Trustme will fill you in on tyres/mods etc.
    They're strong and reliable.
    The seat is comfy enough and heaps of good ideas on both adv and new bonneville site.

    Just curious. Don't your right leg get cooked by the high exhaust pipes?


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

    Yeh mines the last of the carby bonnevilles.The cr carbs run same milage as far as im aware although mine had just started to free up motorwise as I put them on.Noticeable performance increase with instant throttle responce.

    New Bonneville in the US is a great place for bling bits.The carbs were 450USD from memory which I didnt think was to bad.They will also pretune them to the specs of mods that you have done.I removed the rt side airbox cover and there is a slide restrictor that can be pulled out that opens the carb intakes after filter but before inlet rubbers.This adds noticable power for free at the cost of some induction noise.I also added K&N and removed airbox intake rubber at same time.The carbs came set for those mods and race pipes and required no alterations to run well on 91 or 95 octaine but higher octaine doesnt work well at all.

    Yeah they are generally a good bunch. There are monthly rides and 6 monthly rallies too.

    You can join RAT (free) on the Triumph website, just have your bikes VIN number handy, and then the factory will send you nice glossy Triumph magazines etc
    Note you have to update your membership each Dec or you dont get the mag.
