Hello!! I'm new to the forum..

[Desmo]

Hey guys thanks for all the great compliments on the bike…. Yes I defiantly have to say that the black is the color to go with… after all it is the fastest color… HA

Let me try to answer some questions….

Sorry for so many questions, just some mods I'll be doing soon...-Russ :-D

Russ, you have some excellent vision my man… all the mods you noted are done.. to include the clip-on’s it has straight bars and no longer has the stock handlebars. I will take a picture and show you the mount. All the parts are Rizoma. I like the clip-on’s however, you have to modify the steering stop or it will bump the tank… I plan on using epoxy on some rubber stops.. if that does not work.. then I will just tap the original stops and add a mechanical bolt to act like an adjustable stop.

I like the high-mount and the length is much shorter that the 2Bros everyone is talking about in the latest posting. Nice looking bike.

Yeap I am in Colorado Springs, CO…. soon I will be moving to the Denver area..
The can I believe is a Triumph can, at least that is what is written on the heal guard.

Hey Tekmoe, I got the bike as is.. so I’m not sure what the previous owner paid for the chain guard. I also have a radiator guard from Rizoma but have not installed it yet.. wanted to give the black radiator look a try first.

CB… the mirrors are nice but useless.. they vibrate with the motor and are mostly just for show and the cops not to have a reason to pull me over.. over all you have like 2inches to view out of them… so useless… they are also Rizoma

There are some things on the pre 05 bikes that I like a lot. I think the 3 spoke wheels look much nicer than the current wheels. Not too wild about the 05-06 exhaust either.

Desmo,

They look great. From your earlier reply I assume they are Rizoma as well. How is the riding position?

Here are the Rizoma's I am considering...



I also have ordered the Rizoma Reverse mirrors which have received some favorable reviews here. May do the Rizoma Zero indicators as well if I can't find something locally.

More $$$ to spend... :-D :-D :-D
