Ten Steps To A Better Bonneville

Compiled and Photographed By The Staff

It seems that everyone’s got a new Triumph Bonneville or Thruxton these days and just as many punters harbor opinions about what makes their particular ride special. Lucky for Bonnie owners and tuners, the 2000 re-launch of Britain’s most famous motorcycle has spawned one of the deepest aftermarket support industries in all of motorsports. Today’s Triumph enthusiast can choose
from literally thousands of parts and services to improve the 865cc parallel twin, and, as a result, there are more ways to add spice to a Hinckley Triumph than you can shake a set of high-lift cams at. To keep things simple and the debates civil, we’ve experimented with dozens of aftermarket parts in the CRM garage in recent months, and came up with this list of Ten Steps To a Better Bonneville. Grab your wrenches (and credit cards) and may the best tuner win!
