Hi everybody, New to Triumphs (although I had a Triton way back when) and new to this site. Just wanted to say hello
Welcome to the forum Dave. I bet that Triton is worth a bob or two now, your Street will beat it hands down for reliability though, the new Bonnies are great all round bikes and real fun to ride.
Thanks everybody. MiickEng the triton I had was pre unit and very, very unpredictable, changed its own oil and was 6 volt! My wife (girlfriend at the time) hated it with a passion! Loving the cup but it's taking a while to get used to the handling on roundabouts and such. Probably because I am used to Harley's.
I had a couple of Norton Dominators so I know exactly what you mean. The new Bonnies handle great, once you get used to it, you'll be whizzing round the roundabouts for fun. You might want to look at upgrading the suspension at some stage, OEM suspension is too hard in many riders opinion, including my own.
Wanted a Street Twin but I liked the paint and pipes on the cup so I had the bars and seat from the street put on the cup and added a grab rail. I never rode a street twin so can't compare but she rides okay.
Hi Dave. See you've put a Street Twin saddle on. Is that for two-up? Have you changed the bars too? They look more Twin than Cup from this angle. It's great how you can make each bike your own with these modern classics. I've scramblerised my StTwin.
Hi Rich, you are right it's a cup with street twin seat and bars, plus a grab rail for the good lady. I liked the paint job on the cup but not really into cafe racer riding position after riding Harley's. It seems to work okay even though I'm told the rear shocks are higher. Would like to see a pic of your ST
Hi Figwold, no problems at all, the dealer did it for me!! Having said that the original seat no longer fitted because of the grab rail so I have cut the rubber bungs down on the seat to make it fit.
Here ya go. It's in my thread Scotland Trip Part One. https://www.thetriumphforum.com/attachments/20170901_094851-jpg.20744/
