2008 Triumph Bonneville

FOR SALE: My extremely well cared for and well-maintained 2008 Triumph Bonneville. It’s received regular oil changes every 3,000 miles with full synthetic since new. I am the original owner; it’s been my primary transportation, weather permitting, since I bought it new in Dec 2008. It has never broken down, failed to start or left me stranded – it has been exceptionally reliable. This machine is one of the last carbureted Bonnevilles produced by Triumph (2008 was the last year). It got a full tune-up in Sep 2013, at the end of the summer riding season, and unlike previous years when I was living in the DC area, it barely saw any winter use between Oct and May – this past winter just sucked! In any case, as a result of the suspension upgrades, the handling is amazing. Neither the engine nor transmission have been modified, molested or tinkered with in any way, but I’ve made the following, very thoroughly researched upgrades and enhancements over the past five years: Upgrades, modifications & enhancements: Upgraded front suspension - progressive fork springsÖhlins external reservoir adjustable rear suspensionFront fork braceFork gaitersTriumph Tachometer (added at purchase)Triumph Tank knee padsMonza gas capAir injection removal kit Air box removal kit (K&N cone filters)Custom exhaust, heat-wrapped w/Lossa Stubbie silencers, Decibel Dawgs sound dampeners and spark arrestors (re-jetted for current aspiration set-up)Triumph Thruxton handlebar, powder coated flat blackTriumph OEM headlight bucket powder coated flat black, headlight rim powder coated gloss blackTriumph solo café seat Upgraded NGK sparkplugs and plug wiresCustom, hand-built taillight and rear turn signal brackets (eliminated rear fender)Upgraded x-ring chain (gold) and new front/rear sprockets (17/44)Upgraded sintered brake pads, front & rear (ca. 500 miles on them)Norman Hyde rear set front foot pegs and controlsNorman hyde heavy duty, braided steel oil lines (black anodized connectors)Joker folding 3” bar-end mirrors Pazzo adjustable race leversUpgraded master cylinder coverBiltwell Kung Fu gripsFront number shield (aka “pedestrian slicer”)British Customs side-mount license place bracketConti Go tires front & rear (ca. 800 miles on them, +/-) Included extras: Two different Flanders handlebars (gloss black powder coat)OEM mirrorsOEM two-up seatOEM rear fender and taillight assemblyModified D&D TT exhaust (headers have been modified to run along the sides of sub-frame, rather than beneath it).
