Well it's Green and a bike !!!

My new Hog well new to me 2002 model

[Luders]

Love those retro triumphs

[headcoats]

As I can't leave anything alone I'm working along these lines

This fecker (mine) has a 19 inch front wheel

Don't want to do a great deal but plans are

Wider spoked rims
Fruity pipes
longer rear shocks
remove rear mudguard
Flatter bars
Angel eye headlamp (like I have on the LC and it looks retro}
Thruxton seat with the rear cowl/cover

Nice, I love the Triumph thruxton aswell.

[headcoats]

Yeah me too but those suckers don't half keep their prices
This way (gulp) I may get a Thruxton look a like with a few other mods on the cheap

Bikes and the word cheap hardly go together though do they

Your right there on both counts mate.

Nice bike ive been looking at a Bonneville or a Kwack W800 as a swap for my GS650 as mines a bit tall. Second hand prices are very strong. Your bike looks like it has had panniers fitted, looking at the bar by the rear shocks. The aftermarket for Thruxton bits is also massive.

Worst bike I ever owned.....T140V Bornevil, leaked oil from places that didn't have any oil in them
Sounded nice and looked nice (Blue/silver teardrop tank)

Always wanted a Tiger.....should have waited

Bigger picture

[headcoats]

Started stripping the clocks,headlight,indicators off etc
Going to get the 4 idiot lights mounted in the headlamp shell like the old'ns so just have a single clock for that minimal look
Going to take off what I can to save weight as I think it only puts out high 50's horse power

Front mudguard is as heavy as a KR1

[headcoats]

[KR-1R]

in my country you have to have a front mudgaurd for MOT - and no such thing as daylight MOT

[headcoats]

Working progress at the moment
Will fit a short plastic front muddy plus looking at a retro tri bar headlamp shell and some black bullet style indicators
Also looking at a Lucas style rear light so lots to do

[headcoats]

Fitted some Thruxton rear shocks that are 25mm taller and got a Thruxton 18 inch wheel front wheel to replace the 19 incher

Exhausts,do I get a 2 into 1 or 2 into 2

[500bernie]

Hi Martin,

I prefer two into two, more symmetrical
