    Hi,
    I'm the happy owner of a Black Street Twin 2018. See photos. I passed my test in January 2020 having never ridden a motorbike until I started learning the previous September.
    Bike plans - It came with tail tidy, fly-screen and some blacked out parts. I've added black pannier rails from Motone (recommended for value and quality). I plan get all remaining silver such as the headlight bracket, finned header rings, brake levers etc. all powder-coated black. Swap out stock mirrors for Triumph oval (NOT bar-end...). Black grab rail. Subtle Racing Green detailing along tank (one thick and thin line on tank, echoed on front mudguard, and other places discreetly). Swap out stock seat to bench (British Customs or Atelier I'm thinking) for the added height (I'm 5,10').
    Tec Bike Parts front progressive shocks, cam change and even possibly the 2-1 for sound and weight-saving (then getting the DynoJet Power Commander). Hagon rear shocks all black.
    I'll start with the mirrors! (btw, tried to add image, via link, failed, found upload button, uploaded twice accidentally, can't delete first photo, if this is my progress here imagine how I'll get on modding the bike?!)

    Hi Steve, tried to post a link to a photo as it doesn't let you upload here but I may have b*%$loxed it up. Off to buy bike gear now but I'll try again later if still not worked. Cheers.

    Welcome to the family. And two picture of a black steed will not get frowned here in the asylum as it is one of the favourite colours with the inmates. Great picture thanks for sharing. Seems you have some plans for the steed.
    Regards & Ride Safe
    Joe.
