That's an awesome bike! :D

Thanks, it's my pride and joy - a 2001 Triumph Bonneville.

... and here's a list of the mods I've made:

Engine & Drive:
Wiseco 904cc big bore piston and sleeve kit
AI removed - two SV650 sump bolts, intake manifold spigot cap and s/s engine breather filter.
KARK - air box cut down in situ, K & N pod filters, carbs mounted on s/s brackets and old filter box converted to tool kit carrier.
Carb mods - 42 pilots; 130 dyno-jet mains (equivalent to about 152 to 155ish normal-type mains); Kawazaki GPz900 slide springs; thruxton needles; 6 shims; airslide vacuum holes drilled out to 3mm; dyno-tuned.
Magnetic oil drain bolt
Exhausts - straight through megas (previously TORS followed by Norman Hyde Togas).
18 tooth sprocket
DID X-ring drive chain
Tyres - front: Metzeler Lasertec 100/90-19V, rear: Metzeler Metronic ME55A 150/70VB17

Controls:
Thruxton rear sets and pillion pegs
Triumph tachometer kit
Ally custom front master cylinder cover
Goodridge s/s braded front brake hose
DIY bar-end mirrors
Bars - Norman Hyde M-bars mounted up-side-down (previously drag bars).
Low profile indicators

Suspension:
Hagon Nitro s/s rear shocks
Hagon progressive front fork springs
Fork gaiters - BMW K75 Eurogaiters.

Miscellaneous:
Fabbri bandit fly screen
New s/s link plate
Custom license plate - made to same width as rear fender with an original Triumph logo.
Tank knee pads
Centre removed - to reduce weight and allow fitting of megas.
Grab rail


.. and here's picture of it in my workshop.

I've written up a series of instructions about some of the modifications here.

you forgot to mention that you've changed the mirrors.

and…. your front tire seems to be mounted backwards….

Nope aspi-rant(see list under controls)

.. and nope (that's definitely the correct fitting for that tyre). 8)



PS... will do at some point anna :wink:

oops.. overlooked the mirrors in your list! :oops:


but… if the front is correct, than the back is not…. ;-)


to me it seems that the front-tyre is “collecting” water towards the center… the outer-profile hits the road first, pushing water forwards and inwards…

if turned 180 degrees, the center-profile hits the road first, and water starts getting pushed forwards and outwards….

when checking tyre profiles on the web they all show the opposite of your config… (like arrows pointing down - not pointing up like yours)

strange. :)
