Blasphemy!

Some KTM goodies have arrived ........ now waiting for the Triumph Rat.net thunderbolt to strike me down for blasphemy

Now all I have to do is make it all fit somehow.

No I'm not using two back brake pedals, but surely one has to fit around the new pegs.

This is going to take some time!

Cheers

Hopefully I won't need a new set, but nothing ever goes to plan does it!
As for the head - it's in quite a poor state, with existing damage to the right hand exhaust port. It's being blasted at the moment to check for further hidden damage but as a TR7 head is quite rare I...
