The 850 Commando was pretty much the bike to have prior to the rise of the asian 4-cylinder street bikes.

Lets not forget the BSA and Triumph 3 cylinder 750's

Now that you mention it, I recall a fellow I worked with had a Trident.
Quite a beast.
He would blast around on it.
I was too intimidated by it to attempt to ride it, and it was in showroom condition, so I did not want to drop it and scratch it up.

How you get disk brakes on that bike ?

Without pushing the boundaries, one never knows what can be achieved.

The Trident T160 was fitted with discs front and back as standard. I replaced the front disc with a 300mm floating disc from a Kawasaki, only needed a spacer and caliper bracket being made, much improved feel and braking.
