I put this in Other rather than Customs because judging by the side cover it's a 360-degree standard Bonnie engine, not a 270-degree cruiser engine. Aaaaaaaaaaanway... on with the coolness...  Found here: http://fast-biker.blogspot.com/2009/08/hard-ride.html?zx=2cd707bf6e0fa4d9

I'll bet his butt gets warm from that exhaust.

Looks nice enough, but I think I would have done the exhaust a little differently, I seldom ride on days when I'd need a bum warmer.

Well, that's why I included the link to the page where I found it.

Firefox is weird sometimes... I don't see any pics. But the link worked so I got to see that pretty cool chop of a Triumph.
Live to love, love to live.

Those pegs are postioned oddly for a chopper, almost a rear set. Must be a tall owner?

Al, you sure you're not looking at the turn signal? I make the pegs as a mid set right where they are on a standard Bonnie.

With the low bars, it looks like it's more setup as a drag or lakes bike. With those pipes, you'd really want to be leaning forward anyway to keep from blistering your bum.

I see a turn signal where a forward control might be. The peg looks like it is just ahead of what might be the battery, or is that the normal spot on a Bonnie? None of the earlier pix are visible to me, here's one from Snekepte. I'd love to see this one in person.

 Yep, that foot peg next to the rear of the primary cover is the regular location for a standard Bonnie. The tiny bullet turn sigs are where forward and rearsets would go...legal but no so visible to cagers.

That is one of the Choppahead bikes. They have another one even better than this one on their site!
