I miss the spartan utility of my Nighthawk 750. Now that the Bonneville has ditched its spoke wheels and sprouted fuel injectors, it's only a set of Givi hardbags away from becoming my perfect commuter / tourer. The Triumph is miles more attractive than my CB, and I'm tired of packing all my crap into a backpack any time I ride the SV.

It is good looking. I like that they fit the injectors into the fake "carbs."
But needs a bit of work... Bar end mirrors being number one. A second brake disc up front would take some work, but it's definitely possible. A fly screen like the STriple. Lower bars, and those cafe knee grippy pad things... yeah that would work.
"Normal" tire sizes would be a huge plus too. A 120 front, 160 rear would like good and be easier to find.
