I saw this before, and as a Bonneville owner also, I agree with most of his negative remarks.
My bike has carbs so no issues there, but I did change the fork springs and rear shocks which transformed the ride. I also installed an after market front brake disc and pads kit which improved braking greatly. Other than that, I left t the bike pretty much as is.
I recently took it on a six hour run to a bike event (three hours one way) and rode at 120 kph most of the way. I have a Givi fly screen on the bike and it was quite comfortable and not tiring riding at that speed.
