    Default Mysterious body deadener theories

    Just wanting a few people to go and investigate the boot in their VN series ones, VN series twos and VP's

    I currently have the theory that no series one VN has deadener tar in the boot (but calais may) and all VP's have deadner in the boot. So I'd like to know if this increase in fat came with the series two VN or the VP

    could everyone from now on state whether they had underbonnet felt, as well?

    just trying to work out what decided deadner or not!

    88 vn = no deadner, no bonnet felt
    93 vp = yes deadner, yes bonnet felt

    No deadener, no felt. But I suspect it's not the original bonnet anyway.
