If you didn't know already the Bonneville while adequate and fun to look at it in it's stock form begs for the myriad of upgrades you can locate via the web. Personally I spent a good 8 weeks visting forums and searching the web for aftermarket swaps. The biggest help was looking at other Bonnevilles to get a good idea of what I wanted, what made the bike safer and what made the bike look cool of course!
I knew right away the stock pipes had to go - great look but no balls what-so-ever, probably the best decision I have made so far. Not only do my D&D's sound fantasic, they really put cars on notice that I'm there. Besides, it's fun to tweak the throttle next to some yuppy scum hanging in my neighborhood...muh ha ha!
After the pipes I upgraded to the MUCH cooler sixty8 badges and tank pad - upgraded the horn and just this past weekend switched to SuperBars and Napoleon Bar End Mirrors. Those Mickey Mouse rearview mirrors and lame handle bars had to go period.
I will post up all the upgrades with links for all to check out ASAP.

It figures that you’re dead serious here and the Funny Man on the RAT! Anyway, it looks like you’re off to a great start and if you continue down this road you might attract an audience. Good Luck and I knew that the Prodigal Son would return to the Rat! What was it about 24 hrs after your Farewell speech?
Good words.
