Excuse the quality, only had my phone on me. So far racked up a whopping 46 miles. Still has all the 'warning' stickers etc.

Anyone know of a good way to effectively 'blank off' the rear peg fittings? Currently just bolts left in place. Shame not more like the R1 with them out of site.

Can probably get some kind of plastic plug designed for something else.
Alternatively, what about just painting them black to match, probably wouldn't be so obvious.

Just deck it over so far that no-one can see 'em.

Or leave them be for that authentic 'race' look.

...comfy, not a stretch but not cramped either. I'm 5'10-5'11 and I find the bikes suits me to a T. As everyone knows, the seat is higher than others around the same class, but even still I can put both feet down no worries albeit not flat down.

Thanks to the appalling weather (sinve I bought the bike Thinking ) I haven't down a long journey on it yet, so will have to see what I think after a coastal trip.

They're nice, but small... Great on a track, I'm sure, but I need something bigger for going any distance. Parked alongside my 'bike they look like a minimoto Smile (my lodger has a yellow one)

Oh, and I'd have a word with your dealer - he appears to have forgotten to put the black bits on your numberplate. Wink

Nice but fuck me if any bike needed a hugger that one does.

Your rear foot pegs will sieze up in no time.

From the test ride before I bought mine, I can safely say the mid rnage is astonishing, believe the reviews! It really doesn't even compare to my trusty CBR. I haven't really got much of the mid range flavour from mine yet as I'm being very good and patient with running it in.

As for size, it is small in stature but it's certainly taller than my chunky CBR.

About the hugger, I did see a nice carbon one online that would do a decent job, can't remember where now.

have a look on the www.triumph675.net forums. better solutions for the hugger and peg holes if you search there. seat height settles a bit as the suspension settles in.

if you are under 11st you will want to fiddle with the suspension a bit, it comes set too hard with too much preload at the rear. theres some specs on the forum. setting for your weight also improves the ride height, im 5'8" 145lbs and with it set up for me i can flat foot mine with both feet at the same time, no problem.
