Decorating et al should never be allowed to take priority over bikes .... though CB had other ideas earlier this year with the sitting room

They have funny ideas these women :??

We should learn to say NO, not until I run out of bike projects :lol:

I do say NO - and it worked for nearly 10 yrs :!:

But even I was in favour of getting the kitchen sorted, as I do most of the cooking :twisted:

Now come on GB - lets see where you're at lad :??

Ok, a bit more progress. Not really spun any spanners as such, more a case of sourcing parts & thinking how to do things.
One thing I have decided to do is give this bike an 'endurance' look.... Well, my take on it anyway. :roll:

This mean's twin headlamps.

Oh, I can hear you all groaning, that that's so eighties & streetfightery..... Well bollocks to you lot, it's my bike & I'll do it my way. :evil:

I sourced some speed triple lamps, complete with mounting bracket, that is too good not to use. (New Koso speedo will bolt to it too.) Only thing is, these are just sooo Triumph... But I have a plan. :hroll

I also have a pair of 5 3/4" convex Cibie lamps than I plan to fit, trouble is they're slightly to big to drop straight into the trumpet shells, (which will end up black), but I'm still working on that.

A couple of pics......

Oh, and just to show, that this is still a budget build, I got this the other day, all the way from Thailand, with change out of Â£14 :lol:

Endurance look - oil cooler directly under the twin lights? Just a thought.
