Default !st ride this year

Just been out for my first ride this year, dry roads and sunshine, not even too cold. I wanted to try the Pazzo's for feel, (I love em) and see what difference the touring screen made to the sprint. It really does take the wind blast off and the faster you go the quieter it gets, so thumbs up for the £28 it cost me off ebay.

Daryl.

Good on you, I got out last weekend and on it again for work now.

Nice to be back on two wheels

Mbk, on the trumpet sprint forum a few have bought some copies that are supposed to be holding up well for around £30, I'm thinking of trying some myself.
I agree they do look the nuts

The screen is the triumph touring screen, list price is around £115 from triumph I think, so £28 plus p+p was a bargain I think, it was a brand new screen as I think dealers are shifting unsold stock they have left on ebay. As to the Pazzo's I decided against the chinese copies having read comments re the finish not lasting, wrong ones sent, not fitting properly etc, they were expensive but are a quality product beautifully finished and in my mind worth every penny.

Probably right, from what I've heard the quality is very good, but as Daryl said, its the long term finish that would be the unknown, I suppose though if you had silver ones it wouldn't be a problem.

I'll probably get some proper ones as well
