Stopped at the Greensboro, NC Triumph dealer today
and they had a nice bobber on the floor.
Flat Black with red pin stripping, shorty 70's style
mufflers.
Shoulda got a pic but it looked familier for some reason.
Anyone here abouts trade it in or something?

I've seen it a few times. If I remember correctly, someone at the dealership did the work on it. Hopefully, I will post this photo successfully:

I don't know if I'm a fan of this one - the back end is missing something - looks too much like a dirtbike- maybe it need to be lowered.

Rear fender needs to be mounted on the swingarm, alot closer to the rear tire.

But then you would have to get rid of that 'plush' stock seat...

Looks a little better with the pin stripping that's on it now. Bobbers ain't my cup of tea, but it was kinda cool to see it walkin' in the door.

Yeah, it's got less parts than a stock Speedmaster. It should cost less than a new one!

11K and they did nothing about the sad sad stock front end! They should have painted the lower forks to match the tank and taken care of the nasty silver powder coat on the stock front wheel.
Learning from my mistakes... again and again.

All that work to reduce, minimize and they left the (IMO) lame glue-on, lawyer-induced front fork reflectors in place. Not a bad look, or is that a "baa-aad look"? jh
