I purchased the Mikuni Carb upgrade kit from Bonneville Performance in April of 2013 for my 2008 Triumph Bonneville Black. I had already maxxed out the performance modifications that are possible with the OEM Keihin CVK carb, and I was looking for more. A Bonneville Performance Street Tracker caught my eye at the International Motorcycle Show in Chicago, and I visited the Bonneville Performance website to discover the wide range of Triumph Bonneville performance products and services they offer. Although I had some initial trouble due to some damage to the carb kit during shipping (choke assembly and throttle cable connector), I found owner Bill Gately to be extremely available and helpful to not only get the broken pieces shipped to me for replacement, but also to offer me helpful insights and suggestions for my specific modification and installation. Several times he walked me step by step through some installation and tuning procedures while on the phone with me. That’s what I call a good customer experience! I have really enjoyed the extra horsepower and torque this kit has produced, as well as the instant response that flat side carbs give compared to the floating pistons driven by vacuum, in the original OEM Keihin’s. I plan to have my Bonneville Dyno’d in the spring of 2014 to measure just how much extra performance I have gained. I have recently ordered the Oil Cooler Kit in the anodized black finish and I look forward to installing that kit this spring. I highly recommend Bonneville Performance parts, kits and services to any serious Triumph Bonneville owner who wants to get the most performance out of this great modern classic machine!
