I'll fit that and prep the bike for winter. I can't see me riding it again this year.
Half price? Jammy git. Will look lovely on your Street.
I'm saving up for the Evotech tail tidy next.

Is the radiator for your bike the same as mine? They've got one left

Triumh Brum are having a clear out:-
https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/triumphbirmi ... 7675.l2562 " onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; there are a couple of tail tidies on there but I don't know if your bike has a different tail.
Ta - i think they are the same tail tidies, but the smoto ones don't get a good write up.
Some nice stuff they are selling on there.
Rad guard is different i think, but i'm sorted there.

Looks like they mucked up. Loads of parts on sale they've not correctly listed.

Triumph seem to be shifting some stock so there are loads of bargains to be had. I'm picking up bits and pieces as they come up for sale. Most of the parts are small billet bits, nothing which really stands out but not bling has to be obvious. I can fit the bits over winter and get the bike ready for next year. I can't see me using it again until then.

I've ordered some captive spacers. I don't need them but they're handy to have. Seeing as I've got to take the rear wheel off to fit the chain adjuster blocks I may as well make it worthwhile.

The carbon guy is having another seconds sale. I've ordered a carbon tank pad and tank corners all for the same price as a new tank pad. So if I don't like the corners I've not lost out.

I am conscious about that. The seat cowl I can swap over.
To be honest, the tank corners are more to protect the tank from being rubbed by the bike cover rather than for looks. The cover is stretched so it doesn't move much but the bike is spending most of it's life parked up under the protex. As the corners are seconds it doesn't matter if they get some abuse as the cover moves in the wind. Although Jaques version of seconds means that the quality is better than most firms would accept as top end.

that's cool, I was joking anyway mate, white bike with a nice spattering of carbon will look good.
I always think of carbon fibre like sugar, a little bit here and there to sweeten, too much and your teeth fall out.

Tank pad and rear cowl have gone on.
I think the tank corner pads will look too much. I'll have a look another time and see but the bike won't be used for a while so there's no rush to make a decision.
There are a few more parts coming this way so I'll take some better photos. I couldn't be arsed to move the bike today, there was no need for the jobs I had to do to it, which included swapping the battery and applying some ACF50 and WD40 to make sure there's no condensation and the chance for rust to set in.

Ordered a black keyless cap for the bike. It's a Chinese one but seeing as I don't use the bike much I don't have to worry about colour fade.

Unsure how I missed this but I'm liking that Kwacky. Doesn't need to get used much through this weather mate hence you having good old workhorse for these days. When summer comes you will have a nicely set up bike with very low mileage and will be a bit to ride

I've taken a load of bling off the bike, that'll cover the cost of selling it.
This afternoon will be the last ride as I take her to the dealers. I just hope the next owner gets to spend more time riding the bike than I have.

No way at all of keeping it?
Is the dealer giving you money for it or selling it for you?
Oh - got anything i might want?
