Speed Triple Pics/color?

kevinwilly · 03-25-2006, 01:30 AM

Hey all- i'm debating leaving my bike as a speed triple instead of putting the fairings on it. Well, i'd like to have both sets of parts, so that i can have either bike when i feel like it.... provided i can find/afford them all.

BUT- i need some good pics (preferably desktop quality) of speed triples. I would prefer them to be 97-01, as that is the look of the model i have. Also- i'd like them with a belly pan if possible. I like that look better.

The cooler the colors, the better. Right now i'm thinking of making the whole bike that cool red/orange color from 1998. (how sweet would a daytona be in that color?) That, or i'm gonna go with whatever color blue strikes my fancy when i paint everything in two weeks.....

HELP!!!

I took all the plastic of my 'Tona... a lot more fun to ride now

Yeah, greg- i've seen your bike all over the place. You're over on cycleforums, too. But i'm still undecided as to what i want to do. I'm not a fan of the 'tona headlights on the S3.... so i kinda want both sets, as much of a pain in the ass as it might be.

We'll see what i decide. I just bought an upper yesterday, but am having trouble getting a set of headlights for less than like 250 bucks, as well as a fairing stay.

ugh....

But thanks for the reply!! your bike looks sweet!

actually.. if I could grab a set of triple headlights I would go that route too.. damned expensive though.

Yeah, and it's impossible to get a set from eBay- in this country they don't really exist, and stupid triumphant (the main salvage yard over in england) buys almost EVERYTHING from ebay.co.uk and then sells it all for a huge profit. It makes me angry that they're basically negating the use of ebay over there. they'll buy it for almost as much as they sell it for, just so that you can't buy from anyone but them. It's out of hand.
