Hey Cheffish, where did you find that Triumph? That thing is cool.

I found that on a blog and I don't remember the name. It's made by deus of Australia. Google deus bonneville and an article should come up. I'm still lusting after that bike. And honder, that is a guzzi 850 I believe. That's what drew me to it. You never see moto guzzi bobbers. At least I don't

I snapped this one at Barber on Friday.  K0 with less than 400 miles. 




And I drooled a little on this one, too.

The header looks like a Marshall DeepTone, but the muffler is different than mine.

Thanks FrankenFrankenstuff!

The header does look the same, so it probably will be (the header came with the bike when I bought it). Unfortunately, when I bought it, the front wheel could get caught between the middle header pipes while braking. Extremely dangerous... SO I had to make them a bit shorter.

The bike came without a muffler, so I made one using perforated tubing and the shell of a Virago muffler. Sounded like this:

And that was too loud too my liking ;). So I made a few adjustmenst and now it sounds prefect (imho).

I got a thing for an evil looking streetfighter.  It's how I justify the Speed Triple.  Does anyone know what this thing is?  It appears to be a boxer of some sort - I think I see a fighter project in my future once the K5 is done!
