Oxford Hot Grips (boy are they hot!)
Radiator/Cooler covers
Michelin PR3s
New chain & sprockets
Hugger

Hand guards
Centre stand

Looks good Steve, I've heard they are really "grunty" and good fun.

I've got an early Speed Triple and even that is like a diesel for torque.

Not as grunty as the 900s funnily. (I have a Daytona 900 so feel equipped to make such a comment).

It is extremely comfy though - all those years on VFR/Sprints when these are the real tourers!
