Bars, bars, bars.

The bars were and are a central part to my vision of what I wanted the bike to be.
I'm certainly in a minority of those who like them though....LOL.

I'm glad you like the sprocket cover. It's a one off.
Actually it is the original item machined out to be minamilist and different.

Bars:- yeah, you and many others.

Pod filters:- We're still not sorted on the carburation to be honest. It's a bit flat/hesitant at around 3000 rpm. We'll sort it though.

If you want your sprocket cover done call Chris at CT Motorcycle Services. 07714 266627. He's in Maidstone but does a lot of stuff by Post. His main thing is paintwork. Good bloke, good work. He goes by Tunneruk on UKGSER and other places.

Contacted a seller on eBay recently who had fitted pods to a t3 Daytona 900. Only had to raise needles 1 notch,and reckoned bike ran OK.

Worth searching www.triumphrat.com re.pods. I'm thinking bigger pilot jets? Might clear it up to/over 3k rpm? Try idle mix screws out a bit more?

Contrary to what seems logical when I fitted a more freeflow exhaust & an oval conical filter to my SP370 in lieu of the air box I had to drop the needle a notch.
Now sweet all the way through to 8,000 with no flatness or hesitation anywhere.
P.S. That's on a slide carb.
