Giving my 1993 Triumph Trophy a bit of a make over....

[GSTEEL32]

After picking her up for a bargain £450 from ebay, I was never gonna throw too much cash at her, but a quick tart up got her from the brink of being a crappy rat look-a-like to something that suited that classic Hinckley engine....

Mechanically it was sound, the previous owner had looked after it well, but aesthetically I thought it would suit a single seat conversion which was another ebay purchase (£24 !!!). Its from a T595 and goes on relatively easily. I'll admit though, it still needs a bit of work to make it look more of a professional fit.

Quill cans & K&N filters make it sound the part, hopefully now the small mods I've made make it look the part too.

Very nice, those mods really lift the bike. more than a hint of cafe racer about it, and that's right up my street!

looks way better now

i'd redo the engine satin black instead of the matt though

maybe even polish up the engine covers for a bit of contrast

and get rid of the screen ( that's just me though , i hate screens )



cheers
