I bought this bike as a project in the summer. It was a standard 850 with some cracks in the front fairing. The engine was sound and the rest of the bike was in relatively good condition. I had one almost exactly like it before and really liked it but now have a 900, so just for a bit of fun, instead of trying to fix the cracked front fairing I modified it. The rest of the bike was gone over with a fine toothed comb. I fully overhauled the brakes, painted the calipers, put new tyres on back and front, really cleaned the wheels and discs and frame up etc. etc. and here she is. A TDM 850 Streetfighter replete with a two-into-one Leo Vince exhaust. I have to say, riding it really is a BIG improvement on the original bike. It's lighter, faster, really fun to hack around on and it sounds absolutely awesome with that LV howling away behind you. Now I'm selling it as I have too many other bikes. It's MOT'd, taxed (not that that matters anymore) and it's sitting in my garage forlornly waiting to be ridden. Anyone interested? It cost me £1,800 in total to get it into this condition, so make me an offer near that and it's yours. You won't be disappointed. It really is a blast

I sure would like to see some better pictures of that faring....as I am in the US, it probably wouldn't make sense for me to be interested in buying it but I would like to take some tips on the mods. I have a 93 with busted up faring that I would love to do something like this with.

 

thanks and GLWS!
