I grew up with these bikes. Unfortunately this is an overdone resto. They never looked this good brand new. The seat padding is too thick and detracts from the bikes sleek look. Also noticed the airfilter canister decals are displayed vertically.
There are several things are not correct but the air cleaner decals are correct, they look vertical because the cover was installed like that. The bigger things are: front mudguard stays should be black, not chrome, same goes for the rear mudguard stay except that the grab handle part should be chrome... I'll stop nit picking because nobody really cares unless it's a show bike.
They don’t make them like that anymore, awesome
got a 68 bonnie orig. built by Eddie Mulder ......best bike evaaaaaa!

The seat cover is correct. I have a 1970 US Export Bonneville. Same seat cover as on mine.
