Hi, Im a newbie looking at returning to biking in particular touring to include the Finance Director. I'll be honest have not ridden properly for a while but have kept my toes in with an electric retro scooter. Previous bikes in order, YAMAHA DS7 (250) Have you seen the prices wish I'd kept it....Honda CBX550 & a naked SUZUKI GSF600. The pleasure vehicle budget isnt huge but a Steamer is my desired entry point. The goal will be a Tiger 1050. Can I buy a Steamer on ebay...yeah right. Not just Triumphs but a lot of bikes seem to suddenly not be available for sale anymore so guessing they pulling them if theres not enough interest. The 955i is more common but I cant (i just cant do it) get over the bulging fuel tank akin to a lava flow over seat and engine. My question is can I fit a Steamer seat & tank to a 955 an potentially the headlight and fairing?
Thank you Sir! I was so excited trying to get my question out there.....is there a Steamer Enthusiasts group/forum I'd better posting the question to?
Newbie Wants To Triumph. Welcome to the family. Yes you can fit anything to anything. Little bit of enthusiasm required. But this all requires wonga thrown at it. When its just as easy to just buy something more suited from the word go. Sure we all worry about money and expense. But god we only live once so a little me time is well spent. Other than that fire you question into the Tiger section on here you will find a more dedicated fellowship who have crossed this bridge previously. Regards Joe.
