Hello from Mansfield (UK). Not long had my Speed Triple now and still in the process of sorting her out ready for some touring soon as weather picks up. Will probably need to pick ya brains as im not too handy with the old spanners lol. Im also new to forums so forgive me if i get owt wrong Hopefully ive attached a couple of images. 1st one should be of when i first got her in Oct last year - knackered flat tyres, stupid mirrors off a street trip i believe, repainted in gloss grey??? dodgy but i dont care if shes been rounf the block a bit 2nd is from a ride out to the Triumph Factory Nov '21, with my bro on his ZZR1400, man it was cold that day breaking in the new Pirelli Angel GT 2's and getting used to the tiny mirrors was fun though. Ive since changed the levers, added heated grips (why did i bother!). Just need to sort the slipping clutch out, hopefully its just a cable (shes only done 6.5k), got a Venhill Featherlight cable to put on soon as i can be bothered, theres no play on the old one that looks well past it, also got a niiiiice Red Samco hose kit and K&N air and oil filters to put on her. Cant decide on coolant type or oil yet (suggestions anyone?). Thats all for now. OnO

Hi Smilinjack, thanks for offer but already got a kreiga30 to go on and just had the angel 2's fitted so im good for this year thanks
Welcome aboard! Nice bike! Not sure what the previous owner was up to with those mirrors, but you sorted that out. This forum is a terrific resource; you will find a lot of good stuff here. By the way, I was born in Mansfield and I own a Speed Triple, so we must be cousins or something.
