Default Bike neglect

I've been a little preoccupied of late with the new bike, I've still a couple of things to do, but mostly there, anyway it's ment the Triumph speed four has been neglected somewhat so I put a little time into it this morning, stripped the rear caliper, cleaned and rebuilt it, got most of the rust off the rear disc, all working nicely now, I fitted a new topbox the other day, after numerous repairs the old one was just plain worn out, it'll get a quick wash down this afternoon to.....

I picked up a can at the BMF for literally "pocket money", with the intention of selling it on; it's a lefthand can off a GXSR 1000, but I had a thought, the scorpion can is actually older than the bike, so perhaps I could make this one fit





yeah I know it isn't supposed to fit, but it hold in place well enough, I'll keep it like that for now and grind down the bolt-on flange later and clean things up if I choose to keep it.

Cheers Mark.
