Featured My Speed Twin Pictures

Not sure which section to put speed twin stuff in, I thought the speed twin was nearer to the Thruxton, can administration help to define where we put speed twin stuff.

 

Not a truer word said

 

Hi Tim
I wondered if anyone would say anything about the seat. It is the one that comes with the bike. I extended it at the back by around 50 mm . Then aquired the Cobin measurements, (other seat manufacturer's are available ) then passed all details to Devon Disability services in Marsh Barton Exeter, who employ only disabled people and Mariner who is deaf but has been doing bike seat's for 25 years so knows a bit, sorted us out with a very comfortable Cobin type seat for around £ 170.00. Wife happy, everyone happy bargin.

 

Yes only came up 3 inches on pillion instead of four on corbin specs, which seems to have worked well. Ya might do carb covers, as I polished badges and heel pl

 

Try again
That should have finished with heel plates. Did not go much on the brushed ally finish , to me it's like they used a bit of 40 grit to give the finish , and has finishing is my job I spose I am a bit of a fuss ass.

 

Did side panels in work , pin stripe ended up being a right ball ack, but pleased with finish. Triumph now have a good red , so I wanted it on more than just the tank. R S bike paints were really helpful, they say that they can get most colours back to I think it was 1909.

 

OK so the back rest is home made, that said it started out as a Thruxton grab rail. So you make use of the mounting points to the shocks and rear sub frame under the seat, chop off at equal points then extend to fit. Mine goes back further than the reach of the normal grab rail as I took the stock seat and extended it by about 50 mm. If you know someone who welds then a few beers should sort it for you, then rub down and ideally get it powder coated.
