Chromed out all my cables, gave her a good shining. I think she's gorgeous! I like how the mirrors have the same basic shape as my peg hangers.

From one chromaholic to another:

She's a real beauty Kyle! Nice work on.... well, everything!

Definitely consider the 07 chrome sprocket cover and chrome cam cover.
{when finances allow of course...)

The 07 sprocket cover is definitely next. Also working on some 07 America exhaust pipes that will be almost totally gutted, (danged catalytic converter), straight cut. My wife's just about ready to move me into the garage if I don't stop tinkering....Oh well, wonder if I can run cable out there.....lol

P.S. Thanks for all the positive comments. Since I'm the only Triumph owner in my neck of the woods, she never fails to turn more than a few heads....

Nice looking bike Kyle.
Check out the T-100 Sprocket cover before you order the '07 one. Some like it better.

Have you thought of a little paint on that sprocket cover? Can of engine paint maybe $6. Also a 3M or similar grinding disc can really change the looks.You can take off the fins or just partially remove some finning.What have you got to loose if you are going to get a new one.The thing is made out of alunimum and easy to cut or grind.

I looked at the T-100 cover, but it's too small for my taste. The cam cover also may be a bit over the top for me, but I'm not ruling anything out at this time. Paint on the sprocket cover doesn't suit me either, mainly because chrome would even out both sides, what with the primary cover being chrome, and much larger than the other side. But like most things, it's a work in progress, who knows what the future will bring...

Trev,

The peg hangers are my own design, cut them out of 3/16 sheet steel with a grinder, then shaped using bench grinder and table top sander. About 4 hours apiece. The stress points (bolt holes) are doubled up with more 3/16, making them 3/8 thick. You can jump up and down on them and they don't budge.

There is one on ebay right now.


We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
