I picked this up at the auction last month. It was a Triumph factory demo bike that got dropped and needed a few parts. They totaled it for some unexplainable reason but that is really my gain since I bought it pretty cheap. As you can see from the pictures, it came with the Full Arrow factory exhaust and from riding it, I sure it has been remapped too. Getting rid of the factory undertail exhaust probably saves at least 20 lbs. I had to replace a headlight bucket, paint one of the tail panels and fix some other minor cosmetic issues. While I was at it, I did a fender trim and turn signal relocation to clean up the rear.
But wow, what a great bike. I really like everything about it from the seating position to the power and handling. It is really a fantastic bike. I’m trying to decide if I want to custom paint it or leave it black. I’m tempted to paint it British Racing Green and use the same gold logos on the tank to match the wheels. Or I may paint it in one of the vintage 60’s and 70’s greens that Triumph used. Any of the greens will look great with the gold wheels- but so would red. Hmmm.
