I now have the LED indicators on and a nice new rear hugger. The hugger needed a bit of modification - some holes needed elongating to fit, even though it was designed for the bike.
It's also had it's first MOT, with the only failure being electrical. The front brake switch needed changing. All set for a summer of biking! :-D

New Parts!!
Well, the spare parts have now come for the bike. Front LED indicators are fitted on the fairing insets, just need to sort out the connectors.
The rest of the bits are "simple" mechanical replacements. Pics once it's done will be up!

14k miles down, and so is the bike
So, I came a cropper on a road used by construction traffic (less than 100yds off site) and the road slightly damp. At approx 20mph, front wheel slid out from me while making a slight left turn.
Good news was no serious physical injury, and no serious damage to the bike. The only thing that stopped me riding the thing home was a broken gear lever. On picking up a replacement from the dealer, saw a street triple with LED turn signals. Turns out no modification to bodywork to get these on. The Triumph has a separate bolt hole to where the wires go through.
So post-crash, me thinks some modding is in order!!
