History
Bought as leftover at the end of the '95 season for 10 large, cash, from a now defunct Triumph dealer in Ellsworth, Maine with 17 miles showing on the odometer, I stopped at the Ducati dealer on the way but he was too "snootie" to talk to me... Did I mention to him I had the 10 large folded in my pocket in 100 dollar bills? Nope! Good thing as I got a great deal on a great bike...

Modifications

Drivetrain
Still have the factory Battlaxxes
Interior
raised jets 2 notches for better low rpm acceleration and have had trouble with the petcock seals due to them being eaten by our frigged up ethanol - laced gas... I buy my gas at the airport, 100 octane LL and water it down with a 50/50 mix of 87...
Suspension
Solo seat...
Wheel and Tire
Slide small radar detector inside helmet next to right ear... :^)
