Is that the Corbin fairing and box? It looks really nice!

Looks awesome, Ed. I've been planning on doing a trunk on my Rocket as well. That is one touring machine, Captain.

VERY nicely done, Ed!  I'm somewhat amazed that Triumph hasn't ever offered a package just like that for the R3T.
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)

Awesome job. Looks as good or better than factory. Hinckley ought to offer something like that.

great looking bike, but where is the nitrous bottle? what if you need to pass someone on an ultra classic or a road king? Those bikes are pretty loud!

Outstanding Ed. The paint really pulls everything together so as to appear as one tight custom unit.

Can't wait to see it live 9/6. Good incentive for me to get there before sunset (for a change ;-) )

Did you mount the box on a standard Triumph luggage rack or did you have to modify something up for the box to fit?
