Your friendly local Triumph dealer probably has the same thing for $48.50. Very nice idea!

That's the one good thing about us Triumph owners. We never let the words " Sorry we don't carry any accessories for Triumph" deter us. We always find a way......Angelis

And I thought, while he was parked at the lights you borrowed one... Very good idea, I always wanted some idea of what to cover that side up on the bike as it certainly lets the bike down...

Looks great and for the right price too!

Questions:
Are they metal?
How did you attach them?
Local truck warehouse? Which chain?
