The Triumph Bonneville was launched in the autumn of 2000 to great
acclaim; I took delivery of one of the very first, on 13th January 2001.
It was a great ride and brought back memories of my youth, but there
were some details that I felt needed improvement. The "Jenks'
Bolts®" product range grew out of my efforts to engineer a
"quick release" way to fix the seat to the bike!
One-by-one I developed new products and the range grew. In early 2003 I
bought a Trophy 1200, whilst I continued to improve the Bonnie. Improved
carburetion and a fairing together with the Corbin seat and Ikon rear shock
absorbers made the Trophy redundant, so in early 2004 it left.
By the spring of 2004 I felt I'd just about exhausted the possibilities
for improving the Bonnie and in May, seduced by the additional torque and power
of the Thruxton, I replaced my trusty Bonneville with a new Thruxton: this
opened up even more possibilities and resulted in more new products.
The Jenks' Bolts product range now includes Jenks' Bolts and selected
accessories for the Bonneville, T100, Thruxton, Scrambler, Bonneville America,
Speedmaster, Thunderbird Series and Trophy 1200.
In addition to our "Jenks' Bolts" products a number of other third
party accessories have been fitted to my bikes: you can read about them by

customisation.
The Engineering Background
The Jenks' Bolts range of high performance and restyling parts and
accessories have been specifically developed for the new range of Triumph
bikes. Our product range continues to expand to follow the success of
Triumph's family of "twins": we have products for the new Bonneville Scrambler
ready and waiting!
Almost everything you see on the website has been prototyped in our
development workshop in Salisbury and then manufactured by local UK specialist
machine shops that also produce parts for high technology industries including
aerospace and Formula 1. All Jenks bolts products are designed for a long life,
to look good, and to have a "quality" feel.
Our bolts are CNC turned or machined, mainly from billet H30TF aluminium
alloy or 316 Stainless Steel and the guards and racks are fabricated from 316
stainless steel. All our products are finished for a perfect surface and then
given a final treatment: satin black or clear hard anodised, bright nickel
plate or chrome; all the finishes are specified to provide an attractive and
corrosion resistant finish.
All "Jenks' Bolts" products have been developed and thoroughly tested
on my Bonneville, Trophy or Thruxton before appearing in the catalogue.

Fitting certain Jenks' Bolts Products to a motorcycle may contravene
