All of my bike videos will be on my new channel here: ‪@WatsonMoto‬
Today we have lots of high quality bits going onto the Bonnie.
Kellerman Atto 3 into 1 LED Indicators, Triumph Wax Cotton Panniers, Motone Pannier Rails, Oxford Bar End Mirror, Genuine Triumph Alloy Brake Reservoir, Spark Plugs, Moto Gadget Flasher Relay, Rectifier Cover and some Petrol additive.
So much for keeping it stock for now! I’m really happy with the progress so far and the bike is happier for it. Now for some adventures!

Like watching your videos you’re just a normal guy doing improvements to his bike I like that ,and I’m learning something 👍✅❤️

Nice work on a very nice bike, friend. Thank you for sharing.

@BorisTheDefender 5 месяцев назад

Thank you too

Looks great! A bit shocking at first because we're used to regular MC indicators for our whole life, but gets the job done. For sure a personal preference MOD, and not for everyone. But if you like it, that's all that counts 🙂

Great Job, looking forward to the next upgrade

Looove the bike man, nice mods too

First thing my mates and I used to-do back in the 70's was bif our indicators . More conservative these-days, but factory-ones are usually ugly . Your bike looks a lot better , My 82-Yamaha TR1 is retro'd , including indicators , seat, guards etc (kept all the originals ). I have a W650 which is stock apart from indicators , mirrors and exhaust-baffles (I like my bikes to sound-like they did in the 70's ) I will also change the tail-light for a repro-lucas-style...Dave nz

Oh brilliant! Good to know. All good fun isn’t it

@sharpkings Год назад

personally not so keen on the front indicators, but i think the rears and all the other mods look cracking and a great job on those panniers !

I was really confused for a moment when you put one mirtor on the right, then I realised that you are not in the US 🤦‍♂️

We should arrange a bike trip 👍🏼

Any suggestions for the headlamp bulb upgrade?

Hi been following your videos and it came time for me to collect my 865se I was very excited but as I rode it up the road from the dealer I highsided , haven’t damaged the bike much but I’m black and blue. What I can’t figure out is what I did wrong , the throttle seemed very jerky but I was not expecting it to suddenly throw me off. I thought the bike would be very smooth to ride , how wrong I was . How do you find your bike?

@BorisTheDefender Год назад

Oh my. That’s really sad to hear. I love it. I find it very modest but the throttle is slightly snatchy. That’s why I remapped the bike. I hope you’re doing okay now

@kennethwilkinson3589 10 месяцев назад

Yes, a remapping will make all the difference to smoother acceleration , easier starting, smoother idle and you will love your Bonneville like crazy! Hope you are recovering from your injuries. Shiny side up mate!

Complete waste of time if you haven't had it pro mapped and got it breathing with K&N filter and aftermarket silencers. It will ride like a slug( comparatively)

@dothmynugs 6 месяцев назад

I'm always confused when I see the micro turn signals. So you do not want people to see your indicators on a vehicle that's at a disadvantage vs. cars...

@BorisTheDefender 3 месяца назад

They are as bright if not brighter than a standard light and when they are off are barely noticeable. Aesthetics are a personal choice and they work very well.

@radu2253 6 месяцев назад

Kudos for your purchase and dedication! DPR8EIX-9, they are the equivalent of an k&n air filter for spark plugs. p.s. you shall never go back to "classic" spark plugs. :D

@BorisTheDefender 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for the tips! Are they iridium?

@rayfraser1773 Год назад

Are those indicators legal ?

@christophersmay4508 9 месяцев назад

Bootlicker

@MsDenver2 Год назад

It’s good if your good at doing things like that , I never understand why they put those awful plastic things on . Yours looks a lot better and you’ve probably saved money 👍🏍

@MsDenver2 Год назад

I couldn’t do electrics , is there also a way of keeping the look but having a led head light ?

@coleythailand999 Год назад

Coming along nicely. Great work on the panniers. Might look for a set at low cost and try the same 😊

@tomtom786 Год назад

Nice job. Requires lots of confidence ! Great vid, thanks

@jaysmoto 10 месяцев назад

👍nice

@BorisTheDefender 9 месяцев назад

Thank you! Cheers!

@richardwalker5906 Год назад

Looking good 👍

@MsDenver2 Год назад

I’m all for making everything led but I would keep the original design after all it’s a retro , but of course I’m getting on in age so my opinion is biased as all my bikes 40 years ago had big yellow indicators lol . Still you have got to be happy with your bike and how you like it , that’s part of the fun we are all different 👍🏍

@dirkdiggler5164 5 месяцев назад

You probably already know this LOL but in the USA signal lights weren't required until 1971. All the Brit bikes before then had no signal lights at all
