TRX850 mod kit

May be old news for some, but yeah.. interesting concept.. it REALLY needs spoke wheels too. If he supplied that, or sourced some,, wow, would be a PERFECT kit. I really like it. Think it goes together well.

Prolly need a retro dash with it to fully set it off.

I rather like that and have considered somthing similar

BUT

For me, the colours don't compliment each other. Needs a different colour frame and engine.

And as QT says, wire wheels.

I would also dump the nasty rear mudguard (fender for you Johnny Foreigner types :wink: )

I think they are Carrozzerria? My mate has them on his 09 ZX6R... look very similar to the OZ rims on Apes.

I saw it at the GP, it actually looks pretty nice in the flesh.

Doesn't photograph very well though.

just not keen on the " flat " retro seat.
as i'm on the vertically clallenged side, it is too much of a stretch to the bum stop and too wide/flat for my skinny arse.
nice idea tho.
I WOULD RATHER WEAR OUT THAN RUST

I also saw this in the flesh at the G.P. and agree with you M.V. it looks really good.

still think it needs wire wheels.. And i agree the seat looks worse than a stock pillion seat.
