    Hi all,

    Picked up my Speed Triple 955i '03 at the weekend and rode home (East Yorkshire) approx 120 miles. Very impressed with it, first for a lot of things. After a life mainly of Kawasaki sports 4 cylinder this is my first Triumph, first naked bike, first 3 cylinder and first bike with FI. It's difficult to put my finger on it but it just feels so right after the sportbikes. Got a few things I'd like to do to it:

    Radiator shrouds and a bellypan if I can find any (seem quite rare)
    A little lift at the rear so I'm guessing shorter dogbones

    Thanks
     
  2. Hi, welcome.

    You'll need to check the vin to make sure this is right;

    Not such good news re the cowl but again, this may change with your particular vin. Regardless, I've found they are very helpful over the phone and will happily make contact directly with the Triumph factory for you. Also, they give 10% off for Triumph Owners Club Members;

    Thanks for the warm welcome. Got hold of some radiator cowls in black and a bellypan that will need spraying, I think these help finish the bike off. Here's some pics.
