>> Lowered by 1.5in with 17in cast wheels front and rear along with the

>>
>> Next is the exclusive 50th Anniversary Bonneville in Meriden Blue and
>> Tangerine Orange with gold hand painted pinstripes. Only 650 of the

>> (Yes, we've ordered one, no we don't know if we're getting it or not).
>> I must say that this paint job is stunning with a gray and black seat.

>>
>> There's a Matte Olive Scrambler on the way that brings the Scrambler
