I hope your shed is above the high-water line!
Nope. Both Triumphs sitting in a pool of water. Thankfully no more than the usual two to four inches deep. Which is why I never planned to start on the Pig/Phoenix until the wet is over.
Before the rain hit hard - http://users.tpg.com.au/smokey61/phoenix/p0001.jpg A photochop of the Pig with the preferred final exhaust option and a Duc rear wheel (Still not sure about the Marchesinis...) http://users.tpg.com.au/smokey61/phoenix/p0009.jpg What I'd like to do with the leftover bits (Just need another donk and front end...) Imagine it all in black... http://users.tpg.com.au/smokey61/phoenix/POR_9503.jpg Currently looking at transferring the Pig's front end and bodywork to the newcomer. Would be easier than transferring engine, harness, ECU, dash, radiator, etc to the Pig.
The '04 tank. I may keep the rest of the bits and resurrect them as a mutant Speed Triple or just sell them as a project for someone else to build or cannibalise. Like computers, I look at the bits left over and think that if I just get a few more bits I can have a complete spare. That I don't need a spare doesn't enter into it...
Oooh; very nice. So the 955i still has that loopy pipe-like frame 'eh? Is it zachery the same as the 595?
Apparently it is. I'd also like a swingarm off a late Speed Triple or '06 Daytona if I can find one. Styling is slightly improved. Eventually, I'd love to go Ohlins USD front end with radial Brembos and CF bodywork but for now I'll settle for the old body work and forks with the new Ohlins springs fitted and maybe a set of gold valves. The frame, subframe and swingarm will be painted with satin black two-pack, The bodywork will be Black and I'm still tossing up whether to go for minimal decals or none at all. If I get around to doing the aforementioned Speed Triple I may go for a set of GSX-R forks.
Dunno if this will help but here is what a 675 looks like in your basic black with minimal decals. http://flickr.com/photos/25510729@N03/?saved=1 Still thinking about whether to put any more signage on [1] - oh, and I must put the mirrors back one day - would like some old style bar ends like real trumpys used to have but hard to source ones that both fit and work. Best, andrew [1] Have spent a *lot* of time and effort removing signs and logos from bikes, cars, jeans and jackets - thus do I refute thee brand strategists.
