    Make it louder, make it faster, make it brighter! Oh and make it handle better!

    Paint everything you can BLACK :cool:
    Get a trailer and fill it with camping gear and beer and Jack Daniels and pasties and cigarettes :)
    Hit the road and don't look back :p:cool:

    You have pretty much the entire Triumph catalogue on the LT.
    The only bits I haven’t added to my thunderbird is the screen.
    If you want more chrome then Triumph has loads of that for it.
    Other than that the exhaust and paintwork are the others bits to look at.

    Suspension and tyres is always a good starter.
    Tec and hagon are always good for starters.
    Tyres you'll have to ask around.

    Tyres iirc the LT comes with Avon Cobras if not they should be your first upgrade.
    Far better than the OEM Metzilers

    My Thunderbird was given a great paint job by a guy near you in Bury St Edmunds, Was'nt done for myself but sorted by the last owner looking at the bike he is one very talented guy, his companies name is Flying Tiger, IMHO he's definitely worth a consideration.

    Having seen Tez's bike I’ll agree. The paint job on it is very good.
