Just bought it saturday!

13,xxx miles, ZERO mods, one prior owner...

never been dropped, laid down, or any kind of wrecked...

Im excited.

Id like to get a fender eliminator kit, and a two brothers m2.

I've been reading up since saturday, because i cant go out and ride. The NCDOT Title/Registration office has been closed for the holidays, and wont reopen til Thursday. you better believe ill be there as they are opening...

anyways, happy holidays.

excellent color! I like the MS3 too.

As for the fender eliminator, most people around here simply trim off the excess plastic. Theres been many posts on it with pictures etc. You can do it with a dremel or probably even a tin snips. I trimmed mine more than most people, tucked the plate higher up just under the painted fender, and mounted the signals to the back of the plate. Click on the link in my sig to see it (the pic was before my double bubble windscreen which is another great mod btw). Anyway, there are kits out there if youd rather bolt on.

You should just be happy to get to ride this week, we've had snow the past week up here..

Catenaccio - Thanks! even though I havent been able to ride it much yet, I love it already!

Stampy- Im convinced its as important to check out the previous owner when checking out a previously owned bike. He seemed to be much of an enthusiast himself.

redl1nerpm- Thanks for the tip, i thought about trimming, but i like the VERY minimal fender look like you have going on, and yours is the first ive seen like i wanted. id like to see how you mounted the lights if you have the pics.

the ms3 is definately a blast too, even after getting off the bike, its a kick in the pants!

Very nice bike! Happy to see another Caspian in pristine condition. awesome little holiday gift for yourself

If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for her?

redl1nerpm - Thanks, also, what pipe is that that you have? the triumph performance pipe?

BBDGriptonia - He was asking $3500, and we negotiated to $3000. I feel like I got a wicked deal for the condition of the bike.

DaveM - Thanks, lets see pics of yours too! do you also have the triumph performance pipe?

DaveM · 12-27-2007

YOU CAN CLICK ON BOTH OF THE LINKS IN MY SIG for my pics there are plenty.

oops sorry I didn't mean to shout, got the cap lock on by mistake

One will take you to the newer "members album" and the other to the "original members album"

I have currently the Triumph SS race can and off road tune and K&N air filter but previously had the Triumph CF can.

cheers,
Dave
