Would like some feedback, suggestions, etc from you guys.

Luimoto (luimoto.com) is working on some custom seats for the Speedy project. They currently do not offer Triumph Speed Triple seats (but probably will after doing mine since they have mine to modle off of)


Here are a couple of renderings. Which option do you like best? (I think the gold color is actually tan, just looks gold in the renderings, you can go to Luimotos site and see some of their other work to get an idea. I have one of their seats on my R1 and love it)


Option 1




Option 2

I agree. Stripe looks pimp.

Let me know the cost on that... I'd like something similar for my bike. The seats are identical....

I vote option 1.

Just curious, why does the passenger seat in option 1 look green on the sides and not black like the rider seat? Is it jus the pic?

Of the two choices, option #1, but neither jumps out at me.

That's by far THE sweetest-looking Triumph I've ever seen. Incredible job.

Thanks man.

I almost have the wiring back in the bike. Can't wait to fire it up and go for a spin. (still need to do a bunch of stuff first)

This is on a 1998 Truimph T509 Speed Triple 885. I have searched all over the web, Google, Bikebandit, etc etc and even the Triumph Dealer.

I need the blue connector. The picture is of one of the good connectors. (I have two of the three needed, one was missing when I got the bike).

Coil on Plug connector.

^^ I can't read, what brand coil pack is it? If it is a Denso, then it is a STD Japanese type connector, which is available through many electrical parts houses. A guy at my work is a wiz on this sort of stuff.


Oh yeah and seat option 1

Yeah, its a standard Denso. U-Pull-It has hundreds of them. Look for circa 1995-2000 imports.

I say no for the stripe. The gold seats looks better. Or just black.
