Many thanks for this. I'll also take a look at the web site for spare parts.

British Bikes / Simple Bonneville T140 questions??
« on: October 26, 2006, 01:01:39 AM »
Hi all

Have just acquired a T140 Bonneville. It is cosmetically excellent, apart from a few minor blemishes. However, I need to fit a new wiring loom, as this has been fried at some point and may still be shorting somewhere (blowing main fuse at battery). In order to do this I need to get the tank off and, while I await my shop manual, I wondered if anyone can explain how to do this?  ???

Secondly, it has been fitted with Mikuni carbs. Is this a good idea? Should I source Amals and if so, which type?

Finally, I need to purchase a few parts which are not as good as they should be :- chrome headlight shell, chrome chainguard, fork gaiters and , of course,  ;D a wiring loom!

Any advice on where to obtain these parts would also be much appreciated.




Thanks ... Dave
