Yeah me to Andy, had a test ride back in 98 on a T'bird sport, really liked it,but was a choice then of that or a speed triple, not to sure about the later ones with the pipe either side though, wouldn't have got one apart from this knee thing, but it's a fun bike, and yeah few little bits added, kicks it up to 92 bhp, with fully adjustable suspension, and sounds glorious on song .



Resting, Errr yeah Ok

Cheers Mark.

Should look something like this when it's done.

Unfortunately my love I doubt you'll ever be able to get another, it's from a range Rizoma made spesificly for the speedtriple (mounts of the headstock), besides retail they are very expensive, I only got this because a dealer was having a clear out and paid a lot less than I should have.

I had another version one of their fairings fitted before, by it used the standard lights, like this.



Cheers Mark.
