Then new tires, and put together.
My unknown is the electrics. That will sort itself when everything is together then I put the throttle and switches back on.. New speedo and possibly a tach.. Im hoping she makes it on the road by June... Well I hope.
So the Triumph will have to keep hauling my ass around. If the BMW isnt ready for Lake Placid then The T goes, with leather saddle bags... Not a giddy prospect.. See I dont mind them in the sun and heat. But in the rain, they get soaked.. The insides turn into a goats belly with my clothes as food. Sure I have waterproofs to keep em dry- Glad bags. Still, its a cess pool.
I always jonesed for a system like I had on my KLR.. Solid metal racks, Aluminum panniers that I can plaster with stickers... Happy Trails made the last ones I had.. They were great.. I emailed the factory when I purchased my Triumph and pleaded with them to make a set.. They said they would try if there was a market.. So I jumped on several Triumph Bonneville boards and goaded folks who were interested to contact Happy Trails... And they did.. That was 2012... Well life flies by and I forgot ( goats bellies do hold gear in the dry heat of the sun dontcha know)
Well tonight I had some time ( no really I did) and it popped into my head... Google "Aluminum Panniers- Triumph Bonneville" expecting the same searches to pop up...
Well...
I must say, I am now a very happy boy.. Maybe santa will visit in April!!
Pics are of bike in progress now...
