Time for a change
I think I've done everything possible to a TRX (other than SF or turbo - both of which I will never do to a bike) and with most of my tinkering time now spent on my Lancia, I've decided the time has come to own a completely standard TRX (which is what I've got in the garage).
6 months ago, I bought a modified Buell 1125R to get my speed and track kicks so the TRX will just be a pleasure ride. And I need more space in my garage to accomodate my mounting pile spare Lancia parts, so I'm having a clear out.
Lots of one off parts and standard bits for sale in this thread - http://www.trx850.com/phpBB_forum/viewt ... =33&t=7927

Stratos - I wish.
I've been working on this for the last 9 months.
For the nerds among you, it's a 1979 pre facelift series 2 . And to upset the purists, I'm running a later 2000 ie engine with twin 40s and a straight through exhaust.
