    Hi everyone, just bought a Triumph Speedmaster, she's got shortened rear guard, hagon shocks, and a single seat. She also came with a set of short Triumph exhausts....haven't tried them yet, but the ones on there seem pretty loud to me....

    Any tips on cleaning........I'd like to keep her looking good but will be using her regularly so don't want to spend half my life polishing........

    Hi Tony and welcome to the Triumph playground. Your bike looks a real beauty !!!! Got some Hagons on the back I see, that's a good start.

    Many thanks for your kind words Sir..........anything else obvious you reckon to further enhance her beauty...though I suppose it's down largely to personal taste.

    Well if I were you (and I was 4 years ago when I got my T100 in the same colours as yours) I would remove the Air Injection system; remove any air inlet trumpets and replace the std. airfilter with a DNA one, remove the O² sensors and remap the motor with a TTP tune.

    It'll run smoother and more efficiently, with better pick-up.
