TRIUMPH STREET TRIPLE 675

Well its 70 degrees in the UK today and it would be great to get out for a ride if a little warm.
I'm loaded with a cold and feel crap.
Been cleaning the bike just for something to do also i stripped down the rear end just to take a look at a diy job for a tail tidy.
Looks to be a difficult job a lot of plastic and metal if i come up with an idea ill post on here.
The only tail tidys ive seen so far are R&G and ERmax if you come across any others please comment cheers.

EXHAUST STREET TRIPLE

One thing to note if your thinking of purchasing a triumph street triple r  is that the header pipes will tarnish within hours of you getting and riding it.
This initially started to annoy me and after reading certain forums e.t.c. i decided to attempt to buff them up,attempt being the word. All interested was lost after 10 Min's and a cut knuckle.
3 days on and I'm quite liking the tarnished look blends with the engine providing the dreaded rust doesn't set in.
F1 Monaco's, about to start so later people.
