Mods & Fixes
    

Air Injection System Removal
A quick guide to one of the first mods usually performed on any of the pre-EFI Hinckley Bonneville variants. If your engine is running hot at the exhaust valve, back-firing excesively on the over-run or just turning your header pipes blue - this is a good first excursion into modding your Bonnie.


Air-box Restrictor Plate Removal
Instructions on how to open up the air-flow through the stock Bonneville, T100, Thruxton and Scrambler air-box. Often one of the first alterations aimed at increasing engine performance - in combination with re-jetting the carbs and fitting more freely flowing exhausts, of course.


Air-box Removal [KARK]
A more in-depth alteration to air-flow, completely by-passing the stock Bonneville, T100, Thruxton and Scrambler air-box. Particularly suited to where big bore piston kits have been installed. A classic mod, if ever there was one.


Adjustable KARK Tool Box Cover
Another classic mod and a natural accompaniment to the KARK, making use of the redundant stock air-filter housing. So simple, even the wife can do it!


Carb Air-slide Vacuum Hole Drilling
Allowing the carburettor air-slides to rise more quickly can increase throttle response. This can be done either by fitting softer slide springs or drilling the slide vacuum hole - the latter of which is shown in detail. Again, a natural accompaniment to the KARK and big bore combination.


DIY Bar End Mirrors (under construction)
Sick of being able to see just your shoulders in the stock mirrors? This very quick and simple mod will let you see what's going on behind you, without having to resort to mirror-arm extensions. It'll also improve your Bonnie's lines.


Bonneville to Thruxton Rear-set Conversion
How to change both the appearance and handling characteristics of your Bonnie for the better. A natural progression from fitting progressive fork springs and lower handle bars - very much in keeping with the Cafe tradition.


Side Stand Switch Repair
A detailed account of how to fix a common ailment without having to spend money on a replacement part.


Fork Spring/Fluid Replacement & Fork Gaiter Fitting
If you are at all serious about improving the ride and handling of your Bonnie, this is an essential modification - and another classic. Comprehensive instructions on the replacement of fork springs, as well as gaiters, are accompanied by detailed illustrations and torque figures.

Disclaimer:
These instructions are aimed at people with at least a basic level of mechanical competence, not to mention a modicum of common sense. I cannot be held responsible for some dullard screwing things up. If you are the sort of person to hit yourself on the thumb with a hammer and then sue the shop who sold it to you, then these instructions are not for you - take your motorcycle to a qualified mechanic or, better still, sell the bloody thing and get yourself a bus-pass.
