Here's my m8's street triple it's up for sale and has a few very sorted parts on it comes with all the stock stuff as well

Looks like a nice one, with all the right mods. Daytona forks is interesting. I'd be going for an R model, but my budget limit will be around £5k unfortunately, but some nice ones about within, or sometimes just slightly over that. I've decided against buying one right now though, because I'm hardly getting out on the Fazer through winter, so it doesn't seem worthwhile to buy another bike now, just to stash it in the garage until spring, plus the aggro of moving two bikes (and car etc) up north when I go. There was a nice one fairly locally to me recently; black R, with Arrow cans like your mate's one but otherwise pretty standard, for £5.3k, which I might have stretched to, but £5.6k is pushing a little too high for me. My thinking is £5k, plus maybe a couple of hundred to allow for decent cans (preferably the Arrows, and as long as originals come with it too). Gotta set the limit somewhere.

Nick, that one looks a very good idea to me. You're looking at 5.3 anway - by the time you've sold the standard forks, brakes, etc etc off that triumph you'd be back down at about 5k, and you'd also have better brakes and suspension as well thrown into the bargain!

Yep, I pretty much agree, and maybe the Daytona forks should swing it. But it's gonna be enough of a pain shifting everything up to Carlisle or wherever as it is. I'll probably be in a flat for a few months before I get a house sorted too, so could be problems with storage, even just for the bike I've got now, never mind 2. It's a bugger, but it'll have to wait  :\

It has the arrows (titanium triumph dealer fit) with the remap all the details are in the ad it also has the nitron shock, the Daytona forks have better internals that the R's hence why he fitted them, there's also a sargent seat which as u know if u've ever been on their site are expensive.....and ur getting all the stock parts thrown into the sale as well........I just thought I'd throw it in, one owner from new (him) with low miles and in a awesome colour as well bikes mint
