    Yes mate Triton 750 140v with a four speed box putting the gear change back on the correct side:rolleyes:
    I didn't build it though and she's off the road for a few years because I hung it on the wall :joy:

    Bikes would be less interesting if they were always kept to factory spec. There's museums for that.

    I've got a few bikes so have to rotate their use as I hate paying the robbing insurance companies so max 5 on the road at any one time

    Thanks for following :blush: A very nice bike you have. It’s a pre unit? What model? Mine will, as you might understood, be a bit different. I will keep original size tires front and back, and clip-ons. Love the two break calipers on the rear :cool:
