Let X be a smooth projective surface with q(X) = 0 defined over R and M(X;
r; c(1), c(2); H) the moduli space of H-stable rank r vector bundles on X w
ith Chern classes cl and c(2) Assume either r = 3 and X(R) connected or r =
3 and X(R) = empty set or r = 2 and X(R) = empty set. We prove that quite
often M is connected.
