NUTHER NOOBY

Hi fellas i seem to have become a Triumph fan by accident/destiny whatever--i sold a KTM i had bought in a box and rebuilt--i buy stuff fix it sell it on keeps me out of the pub(for winter anyway)and pays for any awaydays--bloke at work pestered the life out of me to take his 2000 955 RS in px no side plastics though (now i know why)was dry and sunny on sat so i thought why not so off i went --woo hoo loved it--quiet quick smooth comfy bit like the mrs but will cost lots less to maintain--deal done owes me £400 mot till november-mechanically sound cosmetically challenged BARGAIN!! would like to put back to original but panels seem difficult to find so may get fightered help /info welcomed cheers Stu--

 

There are side panels on ebay but they aint cheap. If you want a laugh look at fowlers spare parts site, they dont have any but look at the prices,jeezus. https://www.fowlersparts.co.uk/browser/manufacturer/triumph
Try here, they dont show any on the listings but may have new stock in now http://www.triumphhinckleyparts.co.uk/
or try here http://www.triumph-ant.co.uk/

or http://stores.ebay.co.uk/National-Triumph, give them a call they are very well recommended

Great bike by the way, very under rated. Enjoy.

 

interesting cheers Stu-

 

Welcome in dinger

 

Hi and welcome to the forum

 

Hi Stu and welcome into the Triumph Playground - enjoy.

Re your bike, I would 'fighter it if I were you.The plastics may look OK but for me the most important thing is does the bike run OK? If it does, I'd just be riding it all day.

 

Thanks fellas - yep your right Biglad bike runs spot on very rideable as is-- why spend daft money on cosmetics instead of petrol for new toy-can be fightered gradually --good thats that sorted then--cheers

 

Welcome to the forum.

 

Hello and welcome! Have to say I agree with Biglad.......cost and difficulty in finding panels sounds like the perfect excuse!

 

Welcome in Dingerbell a bargain all-right.

 

Hi Dinger. Nice to someone else on here from Cumbria.

 

thanks very much for the welcome and advice hope to meet some of you later this year--

 

We're having a forum get-together in August in the Peak District if you're interested DB? See the thread in the 'Lounge' section

 

ok thanks mate

 

Hi and welcome to the triumph forum

 

thanks Clarkey--can anyone tell me what the purple icon is --looks like binoculars or handcuffs ?

 

The icon just shows you that you have replyed to that thread

 

Sorry to disagree, clarkey, the binoculars means your watching the thread, your avatar by the posters avatar means you've commented/ replied to it! The handcuffs!?! I'd delete your browsing history if I were you !! ;-/

 

Hi dingerbell, welcome I had a sprint rs when they first came out 22000 trouble free miles in the two yrs I owned it I sold it for a new Daytona 955 Another great bike enjoy regards Lou
