Heres the bike before (doesnt show the new pipes)


Here comes the part where I am soliciting opinions:
New lifter


Relocated the directionals off the bars

I think it looks great. You have to put things on the bike to make it the way you want - well cool. I don't think I saw your bike with the TORs on it - you should post again showing those off!

The tank cover is an interesting addition - looks oright. Is it a Triumph accessory or did you find it elsewhere?

How are you liking the ride?

Oh yeah I like those TORs better. And the valve lifter looks a lot better dressed now. I have one of those rubber boots for my clutch cable - I might well put that on, it looks alright on your bike.

So you did - it blends in much better. That's got me thinking - might have to add one of those next time I am buying stuff.

What do you keep in the pouch on the tank cover?

Great looking bike!

The only thing that you might want to do is, to stretch the clutch cable grommet over the nut at the bracket end and over the cable retaining thingy at the lifter end. It is made to do this.

It will look more finished as well as being more functional-(keeping out the dirt).

Tank Cover

I think it looks good and would be handy for the little stuff. Riding weather will be coming soon and you will get to enjoy and show off the mods. Got to love it!

Oooh yeah, those pipes are the business. Thumbs up for the clutch bellows and cover! I only bought the bellows because I am too cheap, I mean thrifty for the cover.
