I have similar pipes on mine but longer. So cuts back on the header rashness. But I do like the looks of shorter pipes.

But I do like the pleated look of yours. I have factory round bar ends too, but upright. Looks great though. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice. I would paint the back chain sprocket flat black. Not sure if you can get it, but Fluid Film spray made with lanolin from sheepskin works well for lubing the chain. You might consider Michelin Commander II tires for a different look and feel, and they last a long time. Avon tires would be more what the Bonnevilles came with in the 50s to 60s, before the 1969 750cc Honda inline 4 started to dominate for sales. Revzilla has a recent video recommending Avon tires.

The answer to that problem is to simply purchase a Bonneville T120. I had the same feeling on the highway with the buzzy feeling and wanting that extra gear with my 2016 T100. When I upgraded to the T120 it was an amazing difference without sacrificing looks and performance!
