New look Trophy

**Big Dave** · 14th August 2005, 20:45

Had the Battlestar painted by Reflections in Glenfield.
It has 80,000km up, was looking a bit tired, stone chipped and had some minor crash damage - so it had a birthday.

The 1000 word thing to do is show you some pics and just say i'm very satisfied with the results.

Thanks Dave!

Like I'm Mike Tyson. Dave is the proprietor. Came up even better after it had a groom.

Was at the Sawmill cafe in Leigh this afternoon - just a car in the car park.

I got 'trade', but Dave uses 'a ZZR250 is around $1,250' as a guide.
I'm told you can get cheaper, but this is undoubtedly a top quality job by a specialist.

Of all the brands that still live, Triumph still excites me the most. You done good, it looks great. Cheers John.

Not to bad Dave. Like the Ohlins back end ! The whole range suffered from these Crap shocks loosing their Damping after awhile . Nice work

Thanks all.

Yep - shocks on both mine were shagged under 20,000km.
I stick Ohlins on everything anyway.
i've got some nifty ride height adjusters on the back as well.

I have it jacked right up to quicken the steering and it's now got reasonable ground clearance. (for what started life as a tourer).
Ohlins springs in the forks and race tech cartridge emulators means the front end works quite nicely too.
