Bought as a non runner.
No plans as yet but may well be asking Triumph related starting problems.

Not sure Mick, maybe it's a tail tidy??
I like the short rear end look when the wheel sticks out further than the seat though.

Forgive me if I'm wrong but surely that must be a 2005 or later, certainly not a 99!

+ 1 On the year.
The USD forks are 2005 on, but if I remember the frames on the 2005 were black.
The std number plate bracket has been removed also.

Looks great Nigel, reminds me of a Buell with the short rear end. Hope you get it sorted without too much hassle.
