Very nice shame about the colour.
Do I note a bit of calander creeping with the T595 sticker
I see you went back to the standard Triumph front end looks better.

I thought about ditching the rear guard but most of the TBS's I've seen have had that mod, it looks good, but I wanted summat just a tad different.... As mine is still shorter than stock it'll show off the oversize rear tyre nicely..... I may have to go back to the standard cans tho.... these Emgo items are seriously loud..... I'm bound to get a tug by plod soon

Nice. I bet you're glad to have her back.
Bar end mirrors are looking good. So much sleeker than the stock mirrors, and you can actually see what's going on behind.

Excellent. But you've still got to get rid of the rest of the mudguard with the Mecatwin eliminator.

Simon.... I'm leaving it as when I take the wife on the pillion I can swap the dual seat back on and it'll not look too odd...
Steve... My problem(s) was apathy, decorating, fishing, and holidays.... get stuck in man.... funnily enough it didn't even cost that much.....

BL, I have similar problems, bouts of apathy, home improvements, holidays etc. It's already cost me a small fortune, currently looks like the multicoloured swapshop, i.e tangerine tank/side panels/rear mudguard, red front mudguard and yellow single seat cowl. One day it will be all black or all tangerine (the cheap option)
PS looking forward to hearing the Emgo's

BL, does that mean you fitted a 170 section rear tyre?
Does it fit on the standard rim OK with no probs?
The bikes looking good.

Looks good. If it were mine, I would change at least one thing: Replace those outdated, ugly brake discs with something modern and the whole bike would look great IMO.
YMMV.

funny, don't normally like bikes like that, but they are starting to grow on me, and i have to admit, with the 1 seater conversion it does look rather spiffing

Aimer - a 180 section rear tyre just fits in the swinging arm, although it's fitted to a Daytona rear wheel on mine, quickens the steering up a bit
