Awesome! Ok we officially need to go riding sometime so I can sit on that and check out the bars. Are they speedy bars? Also, give us the skinny on the rear fender! I like it.

Thanks for the replies guys!! Benny, anytime you are in my area feel free to let me know, we can hook up and ride around, have some great roads here in central PA. Why not come on down to the TCH rally this weekend and see it in person, we will be there.
In regards to the bars, they are an aftermarket pull back drag bar. Not sure where I got them anymore, have actually been thinking about replacing them with straight bars.
The rear fender, lights, and plate relocation was actually done before I purchased the bike. The rear plate and light unit is made by Drag Specialties. Turn signals are LED. Solid chrome rear struts have replaced the shocks and lowered the rear by a couple of inches. Believe or not but the ride is not too bad.
I have been toying with having a custom rear fender made to follow the contour of the rear tire a little more closely. Also think the fender should be exteneded another 1 - 2 inches for more of a low rider look.
Oh well enuff rambling, glad you liked it.

Chocolatetown...I'm assuming you mean Hershey. I'm thinking of organizing a central PA run myself. More central as in State College area...great roads out that way, and plenty of hotels as well.

Well the fender is pretty trick the way it is, there's a HUGE concave section under the tail light on a stocker... Must have been hard to fill. I asked about the bars because, while I really like the curve of the stock bars, I'm wondering if more of a forward lean would be more comfy for me. I'm busy with family stuff this weekend...

According to my Triumph dealer, there was an optional fender available for a few years that did not have that concave section. The bottom of the fender is as smooth as the top side. This is one of those.

I'd never ever heard of that! Interesting. The concave section was needed for the wiring. Not to mention mounting holes...
