Not sure if this has been done before so forgive me if this is redundant. I am curious to know what modifications, additions, or changes made to your classic triple you are the most happy with. Not really looking for facts or known "cures" just opinions of what you like best.

Here are my simple modifications:

1. K&N Filter, Unrestricted Carb Rubbers, Triumph Off Road Exhaust, Factory Pro Jet Kit

2. ZX7 Rear Shock, RaceTech Progressive Front Fork Springs

3. "Daytona" Style Handlebars

I am very happy with the bars and love how the TOR's sound but what I am most pleased with is how the suspension changes have transformed the bike from the mushy soft front forks, the pound your arse/back into a tight, compliant better handling machine.

Looking forward to hearing your opinions!

Mark

I have changed out the suspension to the Kawi stuff, and modded bunch of other things. If I were to choose two things it would bethese. Performance = brakes the ZZR brakesmake the bike stop ona dime. Looks= Trophy 3into2 header, shortens and balances the exhaust with minimal centerstand interference.
