Say Hello To Winston!

[2WV]

I don't usually name my bikes, in fact this is the first bike i've ever named and i didn't even name it.

But allow me to introduce you to Winston...

I have to say, the lights are growing on me massively.. I have seen the dual round light conversion on youtube which also look really good. As well as the singular round headlight (not the previous models stock round headlights).

Before i got the bike i was looking up demon & Angel eye projectors. But i dont think so anymore. Maybe sometime further down the line.. if it doesn't look silly that is..

aw dem curves tho

Brazzers

nice mate

 

[2WV]

Thank you

Very good choice sir!

 

[2WV]

Indeed . Nothing beats the sound of a triple

 

[Hippo-Drones]

(except a v-twin! ;-) )

I've got a triple and a V twin!

 

[Hippo-Drones]

what v-twin do you have?

 

[2WV]

V twins are also nice.. but then so are inline fours if you got the right end can haha. However, nothing beats the sounds of a quick and nippy 2t.

 

[Lurch]

Which year is that? Got to be no later than '15 iirc

 

[Superballs]

I can't see the pictures

I'd love a modern 2T roadbike, styled like the KTM Duke 390 but with a 300cc 2T engine

 

[2WV]

Yeah would be awesome! Maybe fuel injected too. Im sure i read somewhere KTM had these in production for this year?

 

[Hippo-Drones]

yup on their enduro bikes

 

[2WV]

sweeet, slap some SM wheels on it for the road and all is well

 

[Hippo-Drones]

I had a KTM 300 EXC converted to sm, it was very silly but the gear ratios weren't right for Road riding and unless I had a custom sprocket set made would not have been easy to sort

 

[2WV]

ah thats a shame. Only issue with Sprocket changing on bigger modern bikes is the speedo and odo issues. Which is annoying! Like my STR, it has -1/+1, probs need a speedohealer. Doing 30mph past speed traps on the speedo when im probably actually doing 26mph haha no wonder i get cnts sitting so far up my ass

 

[Lurch]

Older Triumph ECUs let you in to alter ratios and correct your speedo

It was more that you can't buy sprockets that fit it to give it a decent road use ratio
