As the oem side cover is very ugly square units made in plastic, I made some more round units who I feel suit’s better with the fuel tank, same with the cluster who oem comes made in some horrible plastic/gummy, I made this in SS . I just grind the fuel tank and clear coated it as I wanted to keep the steel look at it
Me too! @El Vikingo Tropical Another great job. Purists will all moan, but when did they ever do anything else. Enjoy your wonderful bike. Bonnie's are pretty small compared to most bikes these days!
Yes, they doesn’t looks big this days, but it is definitely heavy comparing with more modern bikes.. The bike has now past MOT and runs sweet! The photo is from a local classic bike show where I exposed three of my bikes, The Bonni had a award for restoration.
Well, that's a coincidence - I just bought this and some boxes of bits that hopefully makes a complete T140V
Some of us on here grew up with bikes that had the gear change on the righthand side of the bike Andy
Yes but its not the location of the gear change that is concerning to the *average rider, its the change from one side to another. I have ridden both and won't be in a rush to do it again. Of course you have too - which do you prefer? *some might say modern. LOL
Fortunately, I have no need for a preference, all of my current bikes are ‘modern’ and the likelihood of me voluntarily throwing my leg over a ‘traditional’ bike is a choice between “you must be joking” and “not a chance” Andy
If you want a more round side cover ( more like the fuel tank style) instead of the square plastic oem piece I have the mould…
Thanks, your curvy panels certainly are a massive improvement over the standard ones! This will be my attempt at a street flat-tracker, so my side panels will be 'basic'.
