Can't remember if I ever posted pics of what I replaced the 14 with so here it is, a 2012 Bonneville.

Nice!
If you ride in the dark a lot this might be worth a look.

Expensive but a good safety feature. They have it for the Bonneville. See their configurator http://www.jwspeaker.com/ymm/ for the right one.

Just as good but cheaper and no need to replace one's headlight Andre. I have these bulbs in my Triumph Explorer (as do many other Tex owners) and they are superb! Will also fit the Bonne, plug and play

Do they light out the corners as well? That's the point with these adaptive lights.

essexboydave

I do intend changing the lights but I'll likely go for smaller indicators, an older looking tail light and an old pattern Lucas 7" headlight. I'll go for a new style bulb in the headlight but since I very rarely ride at night I don't think it'll matter much to me. Definitely need to ditch that rack, introduce the mudguards to mr jigsaw and change the colour too-I'm thinking black with traditional hot rod flames  :8:

Andre

Old pattern Lucas with the build-in amp meter? That meter is certainly a useful tool.

Black with flames definitely a good choice. Mackie (http://cambridgepinstriping.wixsite.com/mackie/home) does some incredible work IMO. One happy customer here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96gHg21NAPI&t=0s 20:55
