    Nelpd96's Triumph 650

    Well guys it arrived today and I chucked on the lights and got them wired so they are all working. I will be making up a bracket to mount the speedo cluster to this weekend and doing something with the front guard. The right rear set it busted arse as is the exhaust hanger so I will just make some billet ones I think and be done with it. Oh yeah I am going to turn the can into a shorty and put an undertray with LED's when it is through rego. I just hope that QLD transport are happy with the fighter look for a econimic write off.

    Cheers
    Paul

    Gee that was a great buy for the cash. Even still has the clocks in one piece. It will be on the road in no time. Better option than the cbr6

    Yeah the can will take all of about 10 min for me to do. I have to take it in for the written of vehicle inspection next week so I will be doing very little to it until then after that it will be on like donkey kong. I have a CBR600RR underseat exhaust that I am thinking about trying to fit up but it doesn't look like there is going to be enough room. I will certainly keep you up to date with Photo's as I go.

    Cheers

    Ok well it has cleared the inspection and I got it registered yesterday, I am heading off on holidays today but when I get back I will fit up some Renthals that I have here and make up and under tail unit for it and chop that muffler. I will keep the pics coming in the new year.

    Cheers

    Ok well I cut the can today and decided that the arse looked like crap so I cut the old one off and made up an undertail for it. Just need to get some LED's for the tail lights and make up a braket for the plate and I am in business. The last thing for the time being will be to fit the new bars but I still have to decide on how I am going to do it. Let me know what you think.

    Cheers
    Paul

    I like the way an empty bottle of Corona manages to make an appearance in each picture. Inspirational stuff.....Oh yeah - that shorty can looks tops!

    Yeah I am much happier with it as it sits at the moment. The note is heaps better with the shorty can as well. I will be grabbing some leds this afternoon and fitting them up. I am still not happy with the way that the head lights and the instrument cluster are mounted but I will have a play with that over the coming weeks once I have the new bars fitted up. I will probably make up a belly pan for it as well and then maybe something with the paint. It just seems to be never ending once you get started.

    Cheers
    Paul

    So I painted the undertail and fitted the LED's pretty happy with it I still have the problem of the high speed indicators but I am sure that I different flasher unit will fix that.
