Hi there everyone. New here, hope to contribute and learn. I currently have an original Speed Triple ('94 5-Speed in black) which I have had for ages (checks V5 - since '98) and as of tomorrow am picking up a Cat N Bonnie (2013 T100 A2) which I intend to customise into a McQueen/Ekins style Desert Sled. I hope it will end up with custom-made stainless twin high pipes, wide braced bars, fully suspension upgrade, Competition number plate across the top of the forks with projector LED headlights mounted behind to give the no-headlight look, shortened seat, shortened fenders re-done to look like simple alloy, aged BRG paint, knobblies etc etc. This is the inspiration bike (photo from the article that inspired me on Silodrome)
Sweets. Welcome to the Family. Do keep us up to speed on the build in the restoration and custom section. We inmates like lots of piccies to quieten us down to help nursey administer our meds. Ride Safe Joe.
Welcome Sweets, looking forward to seeing your progress on the Bonnie. If it turns out half as nice as that photo it’ll be a belter.
Thanks for the welcome, i will start a thread on the project once i have the bike and am on my way, just a fetch from Bristol to the Copart at Sandwich and back tomorrow between me and air-cooled twin ownership....
