I have finally made the upgrades to my 2009 Triumph Bonneville! My main aim was to slim the bike down and give it the cafe racer look that it deserves. I found the parts from four different suppliers in three different countries! Gone are the stock lights, replaced with the oval cat-eyes tail light and mini bullet indicators. The rear indicators are relocated to the shocks. This has significantly cleaned up the rear and generally slimed down the look of the bike. The clubman handlebars are from Royal Enfield and it has neither rise nor fall, giving me a more agressive riding position, but it is kinder to the wrists than clip-ons or other clubmans. Lastly I found bar end mirrors from Moto-Deluxe on ebay which I have been very impressed with as they vibrate less than my Napoleon mirrors. Overall, I am absolutely in love with the new look of the bike.
I had the parts installed by my mechanic Brett from Madbiker in addition to my regular service. He texted me back with this message, “Your bike is ready & you’re gonna love it..”. Right he was.
This is what it looked like before…
