Hello, I'm new here and as I look around I see the "Vendor Only" forum. This is a great idea to have vendors alert us to new products. How about a "Wish List" thread so that we owners can put in our ideas for things we would like to have on our bikes?  Ok... I'll put in mine. I would like someone to make a custom tail light lense to replace the stock one. Make it the same shape so it would be an easy bolt on addition. Given the general shape of the OEM tail light, I think it would lend itself well to a lens in the shape of the face of a skull or a devil... Thanks for looking!

I'd prefer a cloaking device of some sort. It would come in handy all of the time. Like when you see that cop up ahead and you were going way to fast out of that turn or when you really just want to get some gas and go, but you see that old man heading towards you saying, "I used to have a Triumph...."
Learning from my mistakes... again and again.

I'd love to move my forward controls a little further forward. I have a two designs in mind, one a little more complicated than the other...but custom-fabricating is not something in my budget right now.

dont forget about the built in cloaking device that comes standard on all bikes that makes us invisible to cars

I would love to see this but it is very unlikely the way our trannys are set up. Plus on these bikes you would still need a battery to run all the electronics that make it run. They aren't like the old bikes that you could run with a stone dead battery. I have the same dead battery in my 66 TR6C that has been in there for the last 20 or so years and it still runs. Or my 54 T-110 that is magnito/generator set up not requiring a battery except for the lights.
A kicker kit would require engine cases and a tranny or possibly a clutch re-work depending how you want to link the kicker to the crank.I would love one but not for the $3,000 or so it would probably cost.

I would like a rear turn signal relocation kit that would move them up to the last bolt of the faux fender struts.
I know they exist for other metrics but will they work on our America/Speedmasters?

OK Soren then tell me a realistic way to make a reasonably priced kick start kit........didn't think so. Wasn't intended to stomp on anyones dreams but that is the reality of it. I suppose it may be possible to modify the primary cover and run some sort of jackshaft but I don't think that likely either.

+1 on the more dealerships. Closest is 40 miles thorugh ridonkulous traffic. And the return time is two weeks. Who can wait two weeks to get a service?  Quote:

Where the OEM passenger peg mounts are triangular, I wonder if it would be possible to make them big enough to incorporate one of the old style toolboxes into the middle of them; Or, just make peg hangers that feature a little storage compartment.

It's been done, just not mass produced. Can't remember who did it.
