Actuall I am thinking of slipping gaiters on after,i will see what it looks like plain.Since i am on the subject,I think that triumph should have put a solid triple tree instead of the recessed one which came stock,mind you I could get one made Hmmm.... more money(wifes going to love that) .I guess it keeps cost down so a reg dude like me can afford a beutiful ride like a 07 speedmaster.Also has anyone changed the front brake resovoir so it is a little more inconspicuous.thanks to this site I am getting oodles of ideas for my on going project.......
