First of all, I am not sure exactly where I should put this build. I don't feel it fits in with the rest of the cafe racers on here, but I am not building a street fighter, either. If admin wants to move it, feel free.
I started with a fully faired, overweight 2000 Triumph Trophy 1200. As of now, i have a stripped down, naked bike. I have a 7" single headlight picked out for it. I used Triumph Speed-Triple clip-ons and mounted them below the upper triple clamp to facilitate a nice low mounting point. I have removed the pannier mounting brackets, and am looking for a set of Keihins to replace my Mikunis.
Let me know what you think!
Here is what it started out as:
And this is it now:
This picture still has the side luggage mounting brackets:
The factory air box is a nightmare to service on this bike! As soon as I get it and the carbs off, I will replace them with Keihins and run K&N pods.
Here it is with the panels and seat sitting on it with the mounts removed.
