Trophy plastics

Does anyone know whether I can remove the side panels and tail piece on the rear of my 94 Trophy and replace them with something a bit more streamlined? They are the only thing I can find fault with on this bike.
Will any Trident or sprint bits fit?

Only thing I can think of, visit a bike breakers and ask if you can try some parts.
By the way, this would of been answered quicker if you posted in the Trophy section

Cheers mate! yep it could have been directed to the Trophy section ,but most of the correspondence on there is overseas and I was wanting to just keep up some communication with British riders and praps get some tips as to where I could find some stuff over here.
PLUS I thought this sight needs a bit more input. Cheers anyway.

My friend has an M-plate Trophy, the differences between his and the earlier ones seems to be the grab rail style and obviously the swoopiness of the seat plastics. Is this what you are on about? He fibreglassed new flush indicators in and then had me paint it for him

Daytona 900 or 1200 or Speedtriple 900 sidepanels fit straight on to the 94 Trophy. No messing about with anything. You won't be able to use the seat hump without using a Daytona seat but the sidepanels are prettier than the original Trophy ones.

Nickwiz! thanks ,thats brilliant info. By the way I was looking at your album,the Starfire project, wow that brings back memories. The tappets sound like a hammer hitting an anvil as I recall,but blenty of grunt for a 250 single.

Yeah not wrong there on the beeza but as for grunt I don't know yet cos I'm still running her in. The Daytona sidepanels are easyish to come by. Try

Sandy there should have some.

If you prefer the later Trophy look. Try 95 onwards sprint panels though you'll have to change the rear light too if you fit those. Me I think I'd go for the Daytona ones.
