We just got some of these thing in for the Rocket and I decided to try them on the Speedmaster. What do you think? Rear Caliper Front Caliper Couple other things... Check out this pic. Notice the lowered shocks and the bar end front blinkers (try to not be blinded by the coolness of the Monkey on the seat). One Cool Monkey -brent

My vote is for the black powder-coat with an engraved "Triumph" as shown on the front caliper. Take a peek at a Thrux caliper (has a raised & polished "Triumph") for another design idea.

Hey Brent,
They look real nice (caliper covers). Will be waiting for your post in "What's New".
I also would like to see some fender tips.

You Rat Bast#*D! How are we supposed to save any money? Every freakin time I get a few $$ saved up you come out with some really cool "I gotta have them" bits. My kids are gonna have to work and pay their own way through school at this rate. Have you no heart man? 
A word to the wise is not necessary. It is the stupid ones who need the advice.

Looks nice, I also like the black with engraved triumph, I think it will blend nicer and actually make the logo stand out more. How's the visibility from those mirrors? I like the look of mine, but I would love something that stays low but goes out to the side over the grips so I can see better... I'm affraid if I got the long mirror stalks for the mirrors I got they would be too high, ya know?

I agree with Pat, how am I to put food in my babes' mouth when you keep forcing me to buy another bike goodie!!!! I like the black anodized look for the brakes.

You guys kill me. I love it! The black caliper cover is a great idea. I'll pitch it to Rivco (the guys that make them covers). Here's what the look like on the Rocket http://www.newr3.com/html/billet_caliper_covers.html-brent

Definitely talk to rivco. Sounds like you'll have quite a few orders for black. I'm not a huge fan of chrome to begin with, or at least the idea of getting stuff simply because it is chrome, and since it is bolting to a black piece... makes sense ya know? Now if the whole calliper was chrome... different story.

Yeah Brent I'd have to agree with the other guys. Although I like the chrome caliper a black with 'Triumph' logo showing would look a lot better.
