And Gary, as I guess you know, THIS is also Arizona...this morning....
(...after I shoveled my driveway, that is...it only took one winter here for this ex-Southern Californian to learn that ya gotta stay on top of the whole driveway shoveling thing, 'cause if ya let it go, it's a whole lot more work later on)
Great job on the pegs Hoss!
Snow on the roof top, quite a contrast from this past summer standing in your drive way shooting the BS with everyone.

Oh yeah, Mike. This here place has 3 more seasons than L.A. ever had! (...well, that IS unless ya count the "Fire, Mudslide and Earthquake Seasons" over there!)  
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Well John, if I had wanted more than "cute", I'd have moved way up north there too!
(...but, I'll "settle" for "cute", and leave the rest for you up there!)

That -4 I woke up to today wasn't cute at all, but at least the sun was shining...

Great modification Dwight. Miss you. Sorry about the snow. I rode the roads of Malibu Saturday. Got pulled over by a sheriff on a BMW. Asked where my turn signals were. I stated on my other bike. After snapping a few pictures on his Iphone he said ride safe and let me go. Off I went riding safe.

Thanks Doug. So, it sounds like that cop really wanted to take a gander at that beautiful Norton Fastback of yours, huh?! Aaah, Malibu. That's probably tops of my short list of things I miss about SoCal. (...oh, and you of course!)

Of course i'm partial to your color of your bike but looks great!! Oh, and i'm stealing your idea of just that grab bar for passenger vs a full sissy bar/rack...love it!

Thanks, Paul!
Yep, that grab bar was pretty easy to make. All ya need is some square aluminum bar, about the thickness of the Triumph accessory sissy bar, and then just start bendin' that sucker while it's in a cushioned vise. And then, just drill four little holes in it that'll line up with the holes in the up-swept fender bracket.
Polish it up(oh, how I love the look of polished aluminum!) and you're done!
