Muchos gracias!

The guy had a 'great' story about the colour.... Turned out it was a guy who worked at Hinckley that bought it in white then took it into work and had it painted in the body shop.
Doesn't take anything away from how great it looks though. Fantastic job too being 'factory'.

My only gripe so far is that I feel the rear brake lever doesn't stick out as far as I'd like, sometimes feels that I'm only just catching it.
Oh and I might get a wee screen. And bar end mirrors.....

Yup, I think it was for his wife. It has quite a few Triumph accessories already, must be a few quids worth.
Fortunately for my wallet the Triumph mobile site seems borked laugh.

Bar end mirrors are the first mod I did after buying mine, not only is visability better but the looks are 100 times better.

I took a punt on some £10 delivered ones and they've been spot on, a bit of drilling and tapping to fit.
They don't move at all, even at making progress speeds !

And as for the mirror hole blanking plugs for £12, black number plate screw covers fit perfectly. (God I sound cheap)

Stunning looking bike.
I will certainly be purchasing one in the near future. Hope I'm lucky enough to find one in equally good condition. Very jealous of the colour scheme too

Cheers for the tips, cheapness is good for me, I'm Scottish after all!
