Seasons greetings and hello.

Been away from this forum for a few years whilst I tried triumphs best, well it didn't last long and now back with a 2008 factory that had been dropped.
Replaced the damaged tail panels and put a US stand on it. Just got a clutch lever to find. Also whilst I stripped it, I swapped any and all rusty bolts (loads of them).
But its all serviced and running spot on.

Will post a PIC when I get a chance to wash her.

Thanks
Chris

Finally got most of the bike back together. As its was dropped I stripped the bike, cleaned and replaced all required parts (and some that just looked wrong - read cheep Chinese parts). So its all ready, just need to replace the belly pan as mine requires a bit of work to fix and I have found a nice replacement.




Couldn't get factory tail panels so used standard and just need to replace the stickers at some point. Just looking for some crash bungs if any one has a set going for a good price.

Looks very nice, good job with the repairs. I do love the Gen 2 Factory.
