The Jubilee's original | The Jubilee's original tires were a Dunlop K91, 4.10 x 19in at the front and a 4.10 x 18in at the rear, with red lining and directional arrows on the sidewalls. | ||
The Jubilee's seat was the first of a design which would ( apart from the special color's) become standard on all Bonneville’s for the following year. The familiar aeration on the seat top had gone, replaced by a narrower crosshatched panel. On the jubilee the panel was covered in blue vinyl along with the rest of the seat. Red piping ran round the top perimeter of the rear portion before running downwards along the sides and looping back up towards the front of the seat. The lower rubber trim was blue with the decorative chrome stripe, the Triumph logo was displayed in silver as were the words " Silver Jubilee " on the back of the unit. | The Jubilee's seat was the first of a design which would ( apart from the special color's) become standard on all Bonneville’s for the following year.
