now some of you might now that I have a liking for a slightly modded triple, :D

I know some of you have posted old pics of your bikes in that past but could we have some posted again here in one place any old shots of modded triples from the late Seventies/Eighties, when spannies, custom paint, dropped bars, alloy wheels,flares and bad hair does etc were the norm cheers guys

Kerry and Orville

Here's on of me to start the ball rolling

Probably 1981. My mates Jason and Andy working on Jason's KH250 FLF. I'm pretty sure by then we had secretly put a 400 engine in there to blow away the RD250 guys who we rode with. Can't quite tell from the bit of head showing.

Head and barrel looks like 400 and LH pipe definitely is 400.

Later in 1981, the full fairing was mothballed in favour of a rickman fairing. Much more practical for changing plugs!

I have been contacted by a friend that is also interested in old pics of modded triples as he is doing an article for a magazine so if you have any that you would like to share with him I'm sure he would be much obliged, it may even make it into a mag.

his e-mail is johnnaish@easynet.co.uk so you can send them direct
